OLG seems to have passed his "biting" phase. For a time, any time his mouth came near me I was ready to jump away for fear of being scarred again. He is now in a new phase, a strange phase, he tries to gently gnaw my big toe.
Naturally, my response is to yelp and snatch my foot away shouting, "yucky!" As you all know, this only makes him think we are playing a fun new game . . . "try to bite mommy's big toe." I am really not sure what this phase is all about. During the biting phase I read that there would be less scarring and less biting, if you leaned into the bite rather than attempting to rip your appendage out of your kid's mouth. I can't bring myself to take that approach with my big toe. There has to be a better way.
