Mikki and Brylee were fighting over a Tinker Bell blanket that we have. Brylee got frustrated and BIT Mikki on the tip of the nose. Brylee got in big trouble and had to sit on her bed. However, this is not the first time Brylee has bit one of her sisters. When she gets frustrated with Lizzy or Mikki she bites them. We have tried time out, spankings, sitting on her bed, biting her back, etc. She is only 2 1/2 and there isn't much you can take away from her. So, after our episode yesterday I got some advice to use a drop of Tabasco sauce on her tongue when she bites. We are definitely going to try it, if she bites again. If anyone who reads this blog has any other advice for biters, leave me a comment and let me know. Her are some pictures of poor Mikki!!! (You may want to click on the picture and blow it up for the full effect of what her nose looks like.)

Wow...biting is no fun. I'm not a parent (yet), but I have heard the Tobasco thing works. I have a friend who uses it for the worst behaviors her kids do. If I hear of anything else, I'll let you know.
I will sound absolutely cruel when I say this, but when Wyatt went through a biting phase, I started biting him back....after awhile he stopped because he realized it was no fun to get bit back.
Poor Mikki! War wounds are NO FUN!!! Kevin used to bite Kris when they were little also, once he almost drew blood! I too had tried everything including having Kris bite him back but that didn't work. The next time he bit her I took his arm and bit him HARD. I hated doing it, but it did work. Good Luck, and hope you come up with a "softer" result. Hang in there, this too shall pass. Pat
Oh, so sad for Mikki! Looks like it hurt! Give her kisses for me...and Brylee...
