So it turns out that, while we didn't know it, Eli has decided to go on a diet just like his mommy and daddy. Daddy and I are cutting out carbs and are eating lots of meat and veggies. Eli has added one more ingredient to that....human flesh. Yes, today at daycare, he had an "Incedent Report" written up about him. He bit one of the other children for trying to take a toy away from him. When they told me this, I felt like they had just told me he had just knocked over a liquor store or something. It's not like we sit around each night and instruct him on just the right place to bite for maximum effect but I still felt guilty. I mean, what am I going to do? Ground him? Put him in time out? Pull his teeth? The daycare people acted like I should have somehow prevented this. Where were they when my child decided to chow down to defend his stuff? They won't tell me which kid he bit and they will not tell the kid's parents who bit that kid. That's all I need is some angry parent and myself getting into a throwdown in the middle of snacktime.
I guess I just have to chalk it up to babies being babies and hope Eli doesn't do it again and that he doesn't become a recipient of some munching.
Parenting is hard!
