Apparently Beginner 1 was overwhelmed today so Miss J. spent the day in Toddler 1. They said it was because she’s the oldest in her class but I prefer to think it’s because she’s the most advanced.
Anyway, after her day in Toddler 1, she was sent home with the following “Uh-Oh” Report:
Child’s Name: Miss J.
Date: 10/8/09
Time: 11 a.m.
Check one:
Your child was bitten today X
Your child bit a friend today
Today your child: Was bitten on her left arm.
Situation: A friend who was sitting by Miss J. for lunch bit her arm.
Treatment: TLC
My favorite part of the “Uh-Oh” Reports is that they never reveal the identity of the children to the other family – neither the biter nor the bitee. This cracks me up. Like I’m going to show up on the doorstep of that family’s house and kick some two-year-old’s mom’s ass. Uh, okay. Maybe I thought about it. OKAY, NO, no I didn’t. I swear.
Despite the fact that my poor baby has a mark from a little teeny tiny row of teeth on her arm, they said it didn’t even phase her.
That mom is lucky.

Just read this and laughed so hard…I remember when my #1 got the incident report and little Annie is his class was the biter. I know this because ever child in the class had ONE incident report on his/her clipboard, but ANNIE had 15 on her clipboard. Give it time–you’ll find the culprit! Years later I recounted the story to a friend who said, “Oh, yeah…I know all about it as we are friends with that family!” Apparently Miss Annie went to “no biting” class…at our local children’s hospital! YIKES!
