Rules for Parenting: No Nose-Biting

21 Nov 2006

Parents! Here’s a handy tip!

If you regularly play a little game that goes something like this:

(You): Can I bite your nose?

(Your baby): No. 

(You): Can I bite your nose?

(Your baby): No. 

(You): Can I bite your nose?

(Your baby): Hmmm… OK! (You bite her nose, producing much giggling).

(You): Want to bite my nose?

(Your baby): No. 

(You): Want to bite my nose?

(Your baby): No. 

(You): Want to bite my nose?

(Your baby): Hmmm… OK! (She gently bites your nose, with much giggling).

You may live to regret it once said baby girl has big teeth.

Grace tells me that she didn’t actually damage baby Sam’s nose, although it made him pretty upset. I guess I’m still learning…
