You Capture: Motherhood

Finn has started biting. 

It's a habit I want to break him of pretty quickly because: a) those 4 teeth hurt like you would not believe and b) kids get kicked out of daycare for biting - and while he's not in daycare right now, I don't want to have the biting kid on the playground or wherever.  So, when he bites, we flick his cheek and tell him "No!" 

It's hard to punish him.  Sweet Lord, is it hard to punish that little face.  I still feel that he's just a baby (and he is), but I keep reminding myself that it's for his own good.  And usually when he gets his cheek flicked, he laughs; I don't think he quite understands yet what it means to be in trouble.  However, yesterday Abby was the one who got bit while they were playing together in the grass, and while she didn't really want to punish him, she flicked his little cheek and told him "No!" 

I think they were both going to start crying.
