She has become a biting machine. I had a bruise last week from a bite. A hickey on my shoulder from where she bit me over and over and over again. On a daily basis, I usually have some sort of bite mark from her as well. She really likes the corner of my knee, it's perfect height for whether I'm standing or sitting when she decides to bite.
I talked to her doctor who said to essentially ignore Paige whenever she hits or bites
To not do anything when being bit or hit sucks. I just want to scream and push her away. I'm hoping that this stage passes quickly - her language skills are developing so fast and we're hearing new words and phrases almost every day. I'm hoping that the cause of these outbursts could be from her communication skills (or lack thereof). And maybe *just maybe*, when she can say exactly what she wants, we'll be over this.
A mom can dream, right?
Dude, I just read this, and not even kidding, I posted almost exactly the same thing today! These kids are vicious sometimes!!!
ReplyDeleteI saw your post! lol. These kids of ours...they'll be perfect for each other!! ;)
DeleteHi there! I'm new to your blog! :)
ReplyDeleteMy son is 22 months and I keep saying "When xyz happens" it will get better. Some days are definitly better than others, and he's responding more to some discipline....but most days I feel like I have no clue what I'm doing and flying by the seat of my pants!
Hi back! Welcome to my corner :) I'm constantly flying by the seat of my pants! haha. I really appreciated the frequent well visits of the first year....I had so many questions for her doctor that I'm sure I was driving them crazy! I'm so lost with her age group right now, I'm harassing my friends with older kids :)
DeleteLexie had bitten me a few times, when she was younger we redirected but most recently (a few months ago) when she did it I pulled her away and quietly said "Lexie no, we don't bite, biting hurts, ouch, biting hurts mom-mom, not nice, not okay" she gets the concept of "are you okay?" and "be nice" so we try to work with those- good luck!
