Biting

My daughter bit someone today at day care.

Yes you read that right. She did not get bitten but in turn bit someone else. I know you're all familiar with my whole biting saga 1, 2, 3, yes the list goes on. They reached for her crayon and this was her reaction.

I am so upset right now I want to cry. I am hoping that writing this down will release some emotions.

I was told that when she moved up she would copy everything she sees, and I know it's all part of learning, and I know what all the books say about lack of verbal skills and more apt to react physically rather than verbally...but yet I am still upset, pissed to be frank.

You know when you can read all the books in the world but you're still mad.

Well that's how I feel...

She went from getting bit to being the bitter.

aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

And yet there's so much more to come from an 18 month old right!

My immediate reaction was "who" and they said they couldn't tell me which I think was the right decision as I'd probably act funny around that person until one of us brought it up, KWIM?

Then I wanted to know if when they reprimanded her if she cried. She didn't. I know that sounds odd, but I feel when I reprimand her if she cries she looks like she really knows she did something wrong. Other times she just looks at you like you're wasting hot air. Her new favorite thing is to give you a big hug and a kiss when you're reprimanding her...but I've caught on to that one and as she hugs I tell her her actions were still wrong. And when she's done I thank her for her kiss and tell her again what she did was still wrong no matter how many hugs and kisses she gives.

It's hard for me to concentrate at work right now and I can't wait for this feeling to pass but I know it will all be resurrected once we get home and Big C talks to her!! Her teacher said she won't remember it by then, not sure why they say kids don't remember things. But I just don't see Big C doing nothing about the incident just because they say kids don't remember things like this. He'll still want to talk to her about it and let her know that he too won't accept such behavior from her.
