Thankfully there are other things that make her giggle uncontrollably... must try to stick to those! </p> <p>(Wish you could bottle up baby chuckles to save for later, though...) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pro-tip-dont-lick-your-lo#post-110537 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 17:03:52 +0000 Alivoo01 110537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh goodness, flipping hilarious! Thank goodness he stopped though. Not sure how you would explain that to his future classmates and teachers. LOL! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pro-tip-dont-lick-your-lo#post-110119 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 10:31:44 +0000 Boogs 110119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Play biting backfired. Luckily like you advised me, once we stopped our LO stopped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pro-tip-dont-lick-your-lo#post-110115 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 10:30:17 +0000 mrstilly 110115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It is posts like this one (and one about play biting for a while ago) that make me think long term when I do something with DS. I've been really conscious of thinking about whether I would do something or want DS doing it in a year or two. I've stopped nibbling/play biting and I already am trying to phrase things in the way I would when he is older (like not asking "do you want to put your shirt on"). I know he doesn't get it now, but I'm trying to think ahead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pro-tip-dont-lick-your-lo#post-110084 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 10:00:16 +0000 twodoghouse 110084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, that is so cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pro-tip-dont-lick-your-lo#post-109991 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 08:41:44 +0000 Rubies 109991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOL! Omg. I could just imagine Mrs. Bee's reaction to being licked. HAHA. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pro-tip-dont-lick-your-lo#post-109979 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 08:35:48 +0000 heffalump 109979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol! That seems like something my husband would do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pro-tip-dont-lick-your-lo#post-109921 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 06:54:48 +0000 chopsuey 109921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>HHAHAHA! Good to know! Will make sure we don't do things she doesn't like.. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pro-tip-dont-lick-your-lo#post-109912 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 06:33:32 +0000 Andrea 109912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing quite like that but sometimes I won't be thinking and just toss a magazine or something back on the table -- then the LO will start throwing stuff around. It's hard to think about all of your absentminded behavior and how the LO might pick up on the not so good ones! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pro-tip-dont-lick-your-lo#post-109867 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 00:05:12 +0000 mrbee 109867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BoogieBea: Me too!!! I was so sad when Charlie bit someone at daycare... partly b/c I was embarrassed, but also because I just loved eating him up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pro-tip-dont-lick-your-lo#post-109865 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 00:00:51 +0000 BoogieBea 109865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I chomp on her cheeks and neck. It makes her crack up and I love hearing the giggles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pro-tip-dont-lick-your-lo#post-109863 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 23:49:56 +0000 mrbee 109863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BoogieBea: Aww, that's kind of sad though. Those little games are so much fun! I would playfully go "abba abba abba" to Charlie's stomach and pretend to eat him... he would laugh so hard!!</p> <p>Of course though from that, he learned that it was ok to bite other people! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pro-tip-dont-lick-your-lo#post-109861 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 23:47:44 +0000 BoogieBea 109861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: yeah that reminds me that I encourage my younger one (8 months, no teeth yet) to "bite my nose". I should probably stop that too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pro-tip-dont-lick-your-lo#post-109860 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 23:43:25 +0000 mrbee 109860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BoogieBea: We went through something similar, but with biting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pro-tip-dont-lick-your-lo#post-109859 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 23:43:11 +0000 Mrs. Pen 109859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha that's absolutely adorable though </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pro-tip-dont-lick-your-lo#post-109858 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 23:41:52 +0000 BoogieBea 109858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH encouraged play hitting and kicking when LO was younger. So LO got into a bad habit of just randomly hitting us. We quickly stopped all play hitting and he eventually stopped. He does still hit sometimes when angry/in tantrum mode though :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pro-tip-dont-lick-your-lo#post-109856 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 23:35:22 +0000 MsMini 109856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOL! That is a good thing to keep in mind! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pro-tip-dont-lick-your-lo#post-109854 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 23:26:09 +0000 mrbee 109854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For a while, I would jokingly ask Charlie: "Lick or no lick?" He would say, "No lick! No lick, Daddy!!" And of course, I would promptly lick him as he dissolved in laughter! Well in retrospect, I was training him to:</p> <p>* Lick other people and,<br /> * Ignore it when people said they didn't want to be licked.</p> <p>This all backfired on me when Charlie started licking Bee late at night when she was putting him down (we've been trading off putting Charlie down, ever since he stopped going down easily). She told him to stop licking her, but he just kept at it. Doh!</p> <p>All I have to say is: thank goodness he licked her, instead of one of his classmates or his daycare providers! Licking isn't the sort of thing you want your child to do to his peers and teachers!! I stopped doing it, and he followed suit shortly after.</p> <p>What was I thinking?! Definitely not my best hour. Still, it was pretty funny. Lick or no lick??? Who wants to be licked! Well I enjoyed it at least.</p> <p>Did you ever have fun with your LO that ended up backfiring? </p>
