Rosalie the Vampire


A parent's worst nightmare - Rosalie bit two kids at daycare today. Now we have to figure out how to handle it - do we worry that she's a biter? Do we ignore it and pass it off as a one (two) time thing? We're told she didn't respond positively to discipline, she just smiled.

Later, one of the toddlers she bit (all involved remain anonymous) was playing with a ball; Rosalie wanted to "share" and tried to take the ball away. The toddler had it's revenge when it sank it's teeth into Rosalie's arm. We know it was a baby with eight teeth since you can count each one in the mark left behind on Rosalie's left arm.

I like that she's aggressive. Go Rosalie. Cute picture. I'm sure she'll outgrow this whole biting phase. It's how they communicate when they don't have words. Teach her some words!! :-)

That is quite the battle wound! Maybe she was just defending herself?!? Any kid that can leave marks like that, knows what they're doing!
