Beware, they bite!
I am sitting on the couch as TheMonk and Swee’Pea play on the floor in front of us. Andrea is across the room and as we are chatting over the kids, I lose track of where they are. Suddenly, I feel slight discomfort in my big toe.
I ignore it, thinking it’s nothing.
Suddenly, the pain becomes blinding and I can no longer ignore it. I look down to see what is wrong with my toe. There is Swee’Pea on her belly with her mouth around my big toe, biting down hard with her four little teeth. I cry out in pain and shock as I reach down to remove Biter Swee’Pea from my painful appendage.
As I pick her up, my scream has frightened Swee’Pea and she begins to cry. I hold her close with my toe still smarting and laugh as she cries. I calm her down and tell her biting is not nice. Please don’t bite Daddy.
Somehow, I don’t think she was listening.

this is a hilarious post to follow up that sweet kissing post. actually, they go great together. someday, when you write your book, you must place these together!
on a side note, yesterday at a big outdoor music river festival, i was talking to a friend i hadn’t seen in a long time. lucy, who was standing next to me, was apparently trying to get my attention. since saying “mama” repeatedly didn’t seem to work, she put my thumb in her mouth and bit down hard. she’s never done that before, and, as such, seemed fascinated by her teeth marks in my thumb.

You’re right – she wasn’t listening.

Katherine slaps me in the face whenever she lays next to me. Happy, sad, fussy, calm — she just slaps me once, and only once. Kids are great!
