Who: Olivia, who is clearly defined by her initials OAK. She’s as strong as, without a doubt.
What: The hitting, hair pulling, sometimes spitting phase is back in style for some reason.
When: Pretty much on a daily basis.
Where: Daycare. Hit and miss at home with her sister.
Why: Well, there are a number of us who would really like to know...
True Story: While picking up Olivia from daycare one day recently, I was accosted by several of the other little girls while trying to find Bea’s shoes. One said, “Olivia pulled my hair!” and then another one shouted, “She spit in my face!” and then another one yelled, “She hit me and her sister!” Just how does one respond to that? These were not just accusations but total truths, and I felt so horrible that it was my kid they were talking about and wasn’t quite sure how to respond other than “well, I will just have to have a talk with Olivia, then” even though I know it will do absolutely nothing. Then, I kind of wonder why the other kids didn’t do any of this mean stuff back to her. She is smaller than all of them. Is she a bully? Oh dear. She is, isn't she? 
What do you think?

livi goes in spurts as the daycare bully. i think that its because she's smaller then all the other kids and its an easy way for her to get attention. If I yell at her for hitting other kids she'll cry a bunch but she also won't hit other kids for a couple of weeks. I might have to yell at her again. Livi is not one to use words but actions, just like her dad.
She can handle her own. I like it.
That picture is priceless - she needs some boxing gloves!
