My 16 month old day care girl left early today and her mom texted me a few hours later and asked if she fell or something, because she had a bruise on her arm in the shape of a circle. I told her I had not seen her fall, but that I wondered if my daughter (2.5) had pinched her, since I had saw the girls playing tug of war over the baby dolls earlier. Dcb had got really upset, but I didn't see what happened, and she just got a quick hug and that was it, so I never checked for any marks. Anyway, daycare mom seemed upset (it was text and tone is impossible to decipher, but her words were short). She said it was definately a bite, but that dcg is okay. I said I was sorry she was hurt and would keep a closer eye on them, to nip the biting issue in the bud, but should I have said more? I have one family who could care less about bumps and bruises their kid gets day to day, but this dcg is fairly coddled in that they follow her around and fuss and moan over her if she falls, so I am wondering if she will mention it on Monday and what I should say if she does? For the record, my daughter attempted to bite my son a few weeks ago, and about 2 months ago, she actually did bite him. We didn't see it, but he had a big bite mark and it bruised up bad, so I know she is capable of it, so the issue is not that I think the bite mark didn't exist, but more if I am just sensing her disapproval and it is getting to me? Thanks for any insight!
