Tyler came home from school with two Incident Reports yesterday. Both occurred within a half hour of each other and both reported him biting another child. I have been on the receiving end of the reports when Tyler was the bitee so I always imagine what the parents think when they pick up their kid and see he was bitten. Are they snoopy like me and do they try to figure out which kid bit their child? Or are they understanding because their child bites too? Why do kids bite anyway? From his past incidents, Tyler usually bites someone because they have something he wants, or they are in his way. I guess biting is a little better than pushing...maybe. But with yesterday's incident I was wondering whether he bit the same kid twice or two different kids. I was secretly hoping it was the same kid twice and his teachers wrote up both incidents on just one report for that parent. It is a little shocking to sign your child out and see one report, so I can only imagine how alarming it would be to see two. Both last night and this morning, Shawn and I talked to him about this, reminding him that we don't bite and to use his words to tell his friends what he wants. I assumed here that he bit because they had something he wanted. Come to find out this morning, it was two different kids and neither time did they have something he wanted, except their fingers. Ms. Jaclyn wouldn't tell me who it was but I have a pretty good guess it was Carina and Gunnar. She said she watched both happen. First, Tyler picked up the other kid's hand and put their finger in his mouth. Half an hour later, he bent over to put his mouth on another kid's arm and bit. Well maybe he should be a vampire for Halloween.
