Yep, that's my daughter...

So Chloe's "graduation" went well, she behaved as well as any 2 year old who is asked to sit for 30 minutes after she got her diploma would behave, and all was good.




We then had a playdate with Rowan (5 days older than Chloe) and her mom, Gina. We went to Barnes & Noble, played with the train table, drank Frappucinos (even Chloe when I wasn't paying attention, oops) and had a good time... Went to Gina's afterward to order pizzas and Jason picked up Jeremy and brought him and her husband Jonathan came home after work. It was just a wonderful afternoon, the girls were being so silly together and having a great time and playing with the tea set and outside, and wearing each other's shoes and having like tickling sessions... And then... Chloe got a little "over-excited" perhaps? And went to take a bite out of Rowan's leg... Luckily we stopped it, but it didn't seem too malicious or anything, just kind of like a "I'm-so-excited-now-I-have-to-bite-you" kinda thing... I mean I get it, I kinda want to bite Jason sometimes, but still UNACCEPTABLE.


So after we pull Chloe into Gina's laundry room to explain that when we bite, no one wants to have us over for tea, or to wear their shoes, or for tickle fights, she seemed ok, apologized to Rowan and her parents and we were packing up to leave. The girls came over to Jeremy's carrier while he was sleeping, and to give him kisses or so I thought...


Chloe went down to Jeremy's feet and took a big ole' bite on the big toe... And just as he started screaming bloody murder, she stood up and said proudly, "I bite the baby!"

I flipped out, like screamed at Chloe and said, "We need a meeting, NOW!" or some hysterical screaming version of that... And pulled we her back into the laundry room as she continued to say, "I bite the baby!"


I'll spare you the blow by blow of the car ride home where I thought she was showing remorse until we called my mom on speakerphone in the car and the 1st thing she shouted was "Nana, I bite the baby!" But yeah, literally THAT MORNING I had written the "Chloe's gotten so much better thanks to these magical books!" blog and then she takes a chunk out of her brother! Never fails.


The 1st stage of the construction is almost done on our house, but yesterday was definitely the most stressful... They were soldering steel inside and set the fire alarm off twice and my whole house was filled with smoke... It seems like any time we renovate, something is caught on fire...
