Daycare snippet: biting

A baby running wibbily wobbily in the hallway towards me, flailing arm in the air with joyous shrill. Oh mine! That's my baby! She threw herself into my arms and wrapped around my neck. My sweet baby.

I couldn't believe my ears when the staff told me Elle was bitten at the daycare again. This time a big bite mark on her arm. The staff said Elle was acting very upset about the biting. I joked to the staff saying let's hope next time Elle would be the one who bites not the other way round.

When we're home, Elle pointed her finger to the spot on her arm where she got bitten and looked at me with a sad face asking for consolation. Mama gave her arm several kisses making everything all better again.
