Frenemies

I can't believe I almost forgot to post about this. A week or two ago, we got to daycare and were greeted with an incident report. This is not unusual; they fill them out for everything.

One of Evan's friends had bitten him on the belly! You could tell that Ms. Betty was used to the whole gamut of reactions to such a report because she seemed very cautious about telling us. Meanwhile, I was like, "Well, what did he do to deserve that?" (Not really...just in my thoughts.) And David was like, "He's still wearing what we dropped him off in, so there wasn't enough blood to change his clothes-- not impressed." (Not really...just in his thoughts.) We're good parents.

Seriously though, it was very minor--  tiny mark on his belly that was way smaller than a fresh gash on his face that he had inflicted on himself. Nonetheless, I'm glad they're so diligent about the paperwork.

We had our suspicions about who did it. They, of course, couldn't tell us. We were sure it was his gf. She's a mean little kid. We've seen her knock him over and climb on top of him to get his pacifier. She doesn't even take a pacifier; she just doesn't want the other kids to have one either.

The weird thing was that everyone I told said it seemed odd for kids that age (0-12 months) to bite.

And then, the very next day, there was an area taped off on the floor that said "Older children must stay behind this line." So, now we think one of the older siblings came in during drop off and bit him!

We're just left wondering. Was it gf's equally angry older sister? Was it whiney boy's whiney older brother getting revenge because Evan's the favorite? Or maybe it was girl-with-the-stupid-name's brother with a stupider name. Obviously, we have no idea but it's fun to speculate who gave our special snowflake his first daycare battle wound.
