Once Bitten, Twice Shy…

You send your kid to daycare … a $180 per 3 day, daycare … and you think, “The teachers are fantastic. The facility is top o’ the line. They have a chef. Good daycare”. Then, your kid comes home with a chunk missing near his ear. People seem to be getting way to obsessed with this Vampire business. Even toddlers have taken to true blood, it would seem.

Okay. So not a chunk.

But enough for an incident report.

So. At first, I was a little perturbed. Then I remembered the maaaaany ramblings Dodie has shared with me regarding my little nibbling issues. It seems she finally bit me back. And then I stopped. So, now I’m looking to find Barrett’s “friend” as highlighted in the aforementioned report and am planning to bite him/her back.

NOT.

Lots of kids bite. Barrett may still prove to be one of them. Though this was a perfect opportunity for us to talk with him about the fact that biting is bad news. And I will not seek retaliation. But we will be sending Barrett to school with a clove of garlic around his neck. And continuing to make certain he’s not at school past dark.
