today i got a call from the littles daycare that arlo had bitten another child, not once not twice but three! times! over a snack, over a toy and out of anger!
i sighed thinking of how to talk to this little boy, everything i say just doesnt phase him.
he thinks everything is a game and its just so upsetting.

it was time for pick up and i walked in the building walking to his classroom i walked in to see him and 2 other kids in the class but he was at a table by himself while the two other boys played on the carpet with legos, the teacher walked over to me and sighed
" im afraid we've had another accident, Arlo has scratched at another childs face down his cheek, i got to him before arlo was going to smack his friend " she says as i just shake my head
" i am so so sorry for all the troubles he has caused you today i dont even know what to say " i tell her as she comforts me with a little side hug " the kids all have their rough days dont you worry about it, we both know hes our sweet little Arlo, today something must have been rough and hes taken it out on his friends, tomorrow will be better dont worry " she says reassuring me as i just nod and thank her and apologize twice.
I walked over to arlo and tapped his shoulder he sadly turns over to see whos tapped him when he saw me he just laughed and threw himself in my arms
" hi mommy " he giggles hugging me tight
" hello my handsome boy " i say as he pecked my cheek " i love you muffin " i say as he smiles " love mommy " he says playing with my hair
as im walking out i ask " wanna say bye bye to Ms. Daniella "
" bye ms.danni " he smiles and blows her a kiss being shy " goodbye my lovely arlo!

we walk out and as im strapping him to his car seat i ask " how was school lovey " i ask as he got stiff " um good mommy " he says
" oh nice learn anything new " i ask he nods
" blue and red make purple! and blue and yellow make green and red and yellow make orange " he giggles proudly " thats my smart boy " i say as he hides his face in his hands
i was wondering when he was going to tell me what hes done today, and there was only one way to do that! GUILT!

on the drive home i pulled into the ice cream shop parking lot, " since youve had a good day lets get some ice cream my goodboy " i say as he stayed quiet
" well dont you want ice cream baby? " i asked as he just shuffled in his seat nodding
" you deserve it baby, you've been such a good boy and no troubles today i have to get you ice cream pumpkin " i say kissing his nose and helping him out the car
he whined a little bit and followed me in the shop where i ONLY ordered his favorite ice cream with TOPPINGs!
" yes may i have 3 scoops of chocolate vanilla and cookies and cream in a large waffle bowl with the toppings of gummies crushed oreos and chopped peanuts please " i say as i hear him whine and tug on the back of my shirt
" and yes! just 1 scoop of chocolate with crushed oreo topping thanks " i say as we sit in a booth
" you dont look happy are you okay Arlo " i ask as he nods nervously looking around me but not at me!
" i um. " before he good answer the man gave ua the ice cream " enjoy guys " he says before walking off
i hear him groan
i wait it out before he just sighed
" you dont want it? " i ask
" i do! " he whines
" so eat! " i smile
" don't deserve it " he says with teary eyes
" why not? " i ask
" i was not nice today mama....i bite..an'scratch my friends "he says letting the tears fall
" i know baby i know " i say going to his side of the booth and just hugging him
" i sorry mommy i not nice " he cried
" why did you bite baby, remember when your friends bit you how painful it was to get bit i dont want you scratching biting hitting anymore you hear me" i say as he just nods
" i sorry " he says rubbing his eyes
" no more hitting no more scratchy no more bite! i nice boy " he says as i nod and push his ice cream forward.
" thank you for being honest with me, i like good boys who tell the truth, you can eat it now my love " i say as he shyly tastes the ice cream before giggiling.
" my goodboy! " i smile as he dug in on his ice cream
