Our daycare writes up an “ouch report” and calls us if anything happens to our kids that we need to know about. Today we got our first one:
Today while playing on the climbing structure, Miranda was going under the tunnel and there was a child on the other side. The other child got upset because Miranda was on the other side. The child got upset and bit Miranda on her left arm. Teacher Shawlene was on the floor with the children when she realized that there were two children under the structure. She removed Miranda to notice that she had been bitten.
The ouch report goes on to say that they washed the injured area, applied ice, and gave her a hug.
Miranda will probably have a bit of bruise where she was bitten, but other than that she seems okay. The mark doesn’t seem to bother her.
They generally don’t say who the biter is, but in this case his mom came up to us and apologized. She seemed pretty sorry. It’s not a big deal–her kid is usually quite friendly and we’re pretty sure this was a one-time thing.
