Vampire?

The biggest craze right now seems to be vampires. Apparently Cameron is joining in on the craze because he keeps biting his friends at school. He has bit me only
a few times and it hurts so bad. I had a bruise for a week when he bit me on the arm. In the last 2 weeks, I have had 5 incident reports from school. 4 were because he bit and 1 was because he got bitten. I have consistently told him no in a stern voice. I bit him back once. I don't think he has bitten me again since I bit him but he is still biting his friends. He is only 14 months so what do I do? I don't spank and school would never spank him when it happens. I think he is too young for an official time out. I really don't think that a time out would work in this case anyway.

The next question is why is he biting? I honestly think it is a combination of reasons. He is definitely teething (I think he is getting a whole bunch of teeth at once). He doesn't use many words so I am sure it is partly his way of communicating. He is definitely more vocal and aggressive than Jadyn ever was. He is very stubborn. Etc, Etc, Etc.

Now, I know that he will grow out of it unless of course he really does think he is a vampire :). But in the mean time, I am sure that the parents are starting to get pissed. I sure would. I can understand once or twice. But it hasn't been once or twice. (Granted, I am not sure if he is biting the same kid or different ones each time. I guess that would be a great question to ask the teacher.)

So in the meantime, I think I will continue to tell him no biting.

Once again, I realize that I am not very good at blogging. I feel compelled to write something interesting, witty, smart, funny, etc but I got nothing. So instead, I just changed the look of the page to make it more pretty. When I come up with something better, I shall write more.

Feeling Thankful

It's past thanksgiving, but I have heard and read so many stories lately that just make me incredibly thankful for my small but great family!
