this morning
Feb. 22nd, 2005 04:38 pmdropped off Baby M at daycare and before I left, her bestest friend had come over and bit her on the shoulder. I was filling out her daily paperwork when I hear her screaming.
I wasn't too upset since Baby M went through a phase like this about 9 mos. ago. I helped the teacher and went and got an ice pack for my little one, and sat with her, read her stories, and held her until she felt better - her friend had bit her shoulder and left a nice little mark.
And in the meantime the teacher corrected the other girl, put her in timeout, and afterwards talked to her and explained to her what she did was wrong, etc. etc. And I feel bad for this little girl's mom, 'cause we had been talking last week and she said her daughter was going thru a really difficult stage, biting, hitting, acting out, etc. and she told me her oldest daughter was never like that.
Anyway just sharing - and BTW at what age do they really start to outgrow this? Or is the next stage just worse? LOL
