Yesterday, Scrumpy bit a fellow classmate. As Becca conveys, they were fighting over a toy and this was his form of defense. She spoke to him and apparently, they made peace. However, he left a nice little bite mark on Aidan's upper arm. Note: Aidan is 3 and Scrumpy is not yet 2. Of course, as parents we expressed shock and embarassment. Becca explained that it was a Monday and he was having a hard time. It was 95 degrees so they were in the backyard most of the day. As such, none of the children were wearing shoes, including Scrumpy! He apparently was having a difficult time adjusting to bare feet, indicating "shoes, shoes" for a while. Becca actually had to hide his shoes so he couldn't find them! Needless to say, when they went back in the house and he found his shoes he was a happy camper.
I cannot believe his need for shoes left him so uncomfortable it has produce ugly behavior. I am hoping that a couple more days of bare feet will adjust his obessive complusive disorder!
