Nutmeg bit Eliot today. Twice. :-(
It happened to me again. The parenting hubris. For awhile, Eliot was biting and hitting, and his folks were agonizing over it. I was silently congratulating myself: Well, Nutmeg never went through that phase. When you're firm, but loving, and consistent, your child just doesn't do that sort of thing.
Turns out, Eliot was just advanced.
You deserve a damn break.

Well, you only bite the ones you love, and we know the Nut loves Eliot, so maybe she was just expressing her devotion?
I know, that's no help at all. Sorry she's going through a challenging phase. The great thing is, you guys are firm, loving, and consistent, so it will be just a phase.
I think Kori is right. You hurt the ones you love... And Eliot has sure spent his time loving Hazel.
