Today Q bit me harder than he (well anyone for that matter) has ever bit me. We were playing outside, enjoying today’s nice weather. He was playing in gravel and like most little kids, he puts a handful of small stones in his mouth. As I’m trying to swipe them out, he bites down on my index finger really hard, increasing pressure slightly with every second! He was unrelenting and I was actually sort of yelling to stop while Andrew, my sister, my brother and brother-in-law stood there in disbelief. I started to squeeze his cheeks hoping that it would distract him to stop, but he just kept biting harder. For a second, I was scared he was going to break the skin. Luckily, he let go and ended up leaving bruises and tiny, deep teeth indents. He’s been in this phase lately of biting and I know it’s normal at this age. But I can’t deny that it’s annoying as hell! And sort of scary at times.
