Feral child
OK, she's not quite feral, but she bites. And she bites in anger. I swear I was nipped at fifty times today. She's got several issues going on that are antagonizing her. First of all, the two new teeth still haven't quite popped through. Secondly she's got what may be her first ever diaper rash. And finally she keeps pushing the limits. Our major bone of contention, that I will not waver on, is the end table by the couch. She wants at it. No way, Jose! It's my control center, too much good stuff there. She wants to pull on all power cords she finds. And she wants to touch the wood stove. These are all non-negotiable and she has a major temper tantrum when flatly denied.
