I have never really seen the mean side of Owen, but his daycare buddies sure have, as demonstrated by today's incident. As Cindy (his sitter) put it, he likes to play with ALL the toys, and if someone else is playing with a toy he wants, he will bully them until he gets the toy. One of his favorite things is a pair of maracas.
Today I went to pick him up and Cindy said, "Well, we had a little 'accident' today." Expecting a leaky diaper or something of that sort, she then held up one of the maracas, that looked like it had been run over by a truck. Half of the large wooden part was missing, thanks to Owen BASHING IT ON RILEY'S HEAD. Poor Riley, who is 12 months old, is fine, but Owen was confined to the "crawler" area for the rest of the day.
Cindy has tried to reassure me that it's just his age; that he has some more social developing to do. She says that at 18 months or so he should start getting better about these sorts of things. Let's hope so.
