I received a phone call this morning from Alex's daycare informing me that one of the other children had bit Alex hard enough to break the skin. My very first thought upon hearing this was "How the hell did they manage to do that when she was wearing jeans?!" The biter must have some set of chompers on him or her. Then I wondered what Alex did to deserve such a biting. She was in a terribly bad mood this morning so who knows if she said or did something mean. Marcus then reminded me that she was probably in a bad mood this morning because I have little patience for what she thinks is a fun changing routine. This basically involves a lot of crying, alligator death rolls, and the ever popular "limp baby" when I'm trying to pull her pants up. Only 13 short months of life and she knows all the tricks of the trade. Anyway, the whole situation makes me sad because Alex has now come into contact with her first bully. I was kind of hoping we'd be forced to deal with this a few years down the line. Luckily, her memory is only about two weeks long so this episode should fade quickly. I just hope that whoever did bite her keeps on their guard because I've seen the size of the teeth Alex has coming in and they are no joke.
Update, 28-MAR-2012: If the daycare hadn't informed us of the biting incident I never would have realized anything was wrong. There was barely a mark on her at all. I think they were a bit over-dramatic in their description of the bite.
