Preslie is doing the whole double fists in the mouth thing again...teething...and I forgot about the amber necklace until a friend reminded me yesterday. I need to get that thing back on her because it really does seem to help.
So, I have to wonder if her recent biting habit has anything to do with it or if it is just a part of her asserting her will...finally with her siblings. Exhibit A, Lucy's frown and bite marks on her little arm. They were fighting over a truck and Preslie attacked Lucy. I work in the nursery at church and last Sunday she was bullying the other kids. Fortunately, she didn't bite, but she did a lot of taking toys and pushing. I am glad I was there to discipline her. We are gonna nip this thing in the bud. I won't have a bully baby!
This is her other recent habit, which I also believe to be related to the teething, or growing. She has figured out how to open the pantry and can be found carrying various boxes of crackers and cereal most of the day. She just helps her little self to snacks whenever she pleases. We have rearranged the pantry so that at least she doesn't get into the "off limits" foods. I need to get a lock! She is so stinkin' cute, though...hard to resist!
