Bite me once....

Well Ben has a bit of a problem with a certain young lady in his room at daycare. I am sure she is normally a lovely little child, however something about my son brings out the fangs.

He was bitten for the 4th time yesterday. This time she drew blood.

When I picked him up yesterday he looked like he needed to go home and have a stiff drink (and no I didn't give him one, mommy had one instead, you know, for his sake). You could tell he was just .... DONE... with the day.

I asked the daycare director if there was anything that Ben was doing to provoke the little girl. Apparently he is a perfect gentleman (as 18 month olds go) and she just has a not so good way of dealing with her feelings. On one hand I was glad to hear that my son wasn't causing trouble, but on the other I wanted there to be some good reason why Ben is being picked on!

I feel very sorry for the parents of the little girl, I know they are doing everything they can to try and rid her of this habit. I do understand their frustration. But I hope that they saw my little boy yesterday, looking so sad and withdrawn, and can understand a little bit of mine.
