Most of the time this 21 month old cute little puppy is so sweet and cuddly. But every now and then this little puppy BITES! He's been to the "principal's" (aka Mrs. CiCi) office twice this week for biting his friends. It seems that his new favorite toy to play on is a pink unicorn rocking horse that just arrived in his classroom. His incidents have revolved around friends trying to take their turn on it while he was giddy upping. To make matters worse, he's been very non chalant about his behavior. Thankfully, Jackson is in a school where he receives correction for inappropriate behavior! Since Jackson has never tried to bite Mommy or Daddy we've been perplexed about how to correct this issue. We've been told that biting is a normal phase that a lot of toddlers go through. We've decided our plan of attack is going to be a stronger emphasis on sharing and taking turns in the Sklar household. Hopefully it will rub off at school! Chris reminded me "like son like mother". I had to laugh because the severest punishment I ever received was when I bit my sister. I didn't get spanked. I didn't have to wash my mouth out with soap. I didn't get grounded. It was way worse. I had to wear a sign (that I had to make myself) around my neck that said, "Beware, I Bite!" It was so humiliating walking around the house with this sign around my neck in front of my sister for what seemed like hours. Thankfully, I didn't have to go out in public. That was enough to keep me from ever biting my sister again. I'm sure Jackson will grow out of this phase before we have to resort to sending him to school with a "Beware, I Bite"sign around his neck.........................right?
