stay away biter

MOM!!!!!!!!!!! My Elle was bitten at school!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would have called you to complain then I would feel fine.........I am sure you dealt with Aydan and biting........she's fine.....but she was SO sad the teachers said. She was minding her own business, playing with blocks, and a little boy or girl (they don't tell you who performed the act) came right up and bit her right in the arm. Poor thing was startled and had ice applied for several minutes and cried.  I was fine about it.....I just asked some questions as to how they handle biting and basically this is the age( while unacceptable).....Elle will either get bitten or bite in this and or the next classroom. They re-direct the children and obviously if this continued to re-occur, the child would be removed from the school but oh my gosh that is extreme. I am sure this child is not some bully at a mere 12-16 months old. How sad if so. We are not worried as I am certain our "little darling" will clock someone in the head at some point with a toy of some sort. Be nice Elle.....

I have gotten pretty used to having things happen to Elle good or bad and not having Mom to call. I cannot imagine what it would be like to have that person to just call for anything. Moms have a way of making things seem okay even when they are not or they agree right along with you that the situation sucks. I miss that dearly.....I am forgetting what it was like to have a Mother which is heart wrenching to me every day. I try to remember her voice and her smile and her laugh and what she looked like and I close my eyes when I hug Elle and sometimes I pretend it's Mom. I hugged my Mom a lot. I would squeeze her more for a joke but I can just picture me now hugging her in my kitchen. I would try to pick her up. I will miss her and Dad every day until the day I die.... wishing they were here. 

I came across this picture today and couldn't but help stare....the women in this picture...me included.... need Mom the most. We're lost without her.....

All my love,
