Pinay Mom on Motherhood, Etc.

.. another kid just bit him again… (!)  I just got a call from the daycare people that another kid bit him in the arm this time — he is okay, and they apologize.

I don’t know what to say.. is it the color of his shirt?  I asked if he had provoked it, but they told me that he was just playing by himself when this other kid walked up to him and bit him on the arm.  Now what’s with that?  I would completely understand it if he had been playing and playfully biting the other kid which he sometimes does as part of our usual playtime at home — but he was playing by himself.

I just hope today’s double biting experience doesn’t traumatize him and make him wary of staying at the back up childcare facility.  If a third incident happens today, I’m going there and getting him out..and I just might bop somebody’s head.

This reminds me of an incident in Glorietta when Angel was trying out one of those kiddie rides.  He’s not really one to ride it when it starts moving — he just wants to sit there and move the steering wheel, but I had my token ready just in case he wanted to ride it.  He was seated quietly exploring the different knobs and buttons on one ride when a 4 or 5-year-old girl just brushed him aside causing him to fall.  Lucky for that girl, I was looking at something else and it was Alan who saw what happened.  Before I could react, the mother of the girl had pulled her away and dragged her from the area, probably afraid the boy’s Mom would fight with them.

I’m very protective and I haven’t been provoked into that kind of situation, but I will fight tooth and nail for my son, to the death.  He’s a very good natured boy who is just overly friendly most of the time.  I hope these experiences will not jade his young mind.
