There's been quite a bit of biting in Calvin's daycare classroom since he started in mid-September. He's bitten three times, and he's been bitten twice. While I'm still deeply disturbed/upset/frustrated by this behavior, last week I gained a bit of perspective on the whole thing.
On Friday we got an incident report saying Calvin bit another child, and an accident report saying Calvin was bit by another child.
The incident report said: Calvin bit another child in a struggle over a book after the bookmobile came.
The accident report said: Calvin was bitten on the face while trying to give another child a hug.
So it seems I have an affectionate bookworm on my hands.
It could definitely be worse, my friends. Much, much worse.

Way to look at the bright side...:) I hope you didn't actually see teeth marks on his face! You are so right...things could be much worse and there is nothing wrong with getting a little physical over a good book!! :)
Good to know his intentions are good. At least they haven't kicked him out yet, right? Perhaps a trip to the library is in order so he knows just how many books there really are in this world and doesn't feel the need to fight over them! I'm sure he's right on the tipping point of growing out of this... hang in there!
