Dracula in the House

I've been wanting to start a blog for a while now. What's stopped me? Time being the main blog blocker. But also wondering who would actually read it. So here goes...

I think Fisher might want to change his Halloween costume from Elmo to Dracula.



He has started the bad habit of biting! Actually, "started" is not really the right word. He started this over a month ago. It just seems like he's doing it more now, and mostly to me. He does it when he's being silly...but he does it more when he is frustrated. It's actually kind of scary to see a 15 month old coming at your face with an open mouth. It's hard to figure out if he's coming in for a kiss (he hasn't got the pucker down yet), or a bite! He will actually pull any part of me closer to try to bite when he is really frustrated. Anyone out there have this problem? I feel like if he were doing this as an older toddler, I might be able to correct the behavior better. But it is really hard to discipline a 15 month old. The best I can come up with is a very firm "NO Fisher!" The worst that happens is that he gets this really sad look on his face then cries with real tears (or the other extreme-he gives one of his cute looks and tries to make me laugh). I am up for any advice. I don't want Fisher to be "that kid who bites". His biting is never hard enough to break the skin, but I want to break this habit before it does!
