Struggling with Colin

I need some help or advice please blog world.  It is regarding my son and his behavior.  Apparently he is have some major issues with the other children at his daycare - I guess you could call him a bully. It seems like everyday when I pick him up from the sitter she tells me it was hitting someone or pushing one of the older kids or biting one of the kids.  She said she tell him no and takes him out of the situation but that does not seem to be working.  She said she cannot give him time out because he will not stay and she does not have the time to sit there with him everytime he does something bad.

He is there with four other boys - age ranging from 3 years old to 11 months old.  He seems to pick on all of them.  Today really put me over the edge - she told me one of the parents of the other child asked about the bite marks my child left on him.  What am I going to do?

The thing is that he never acts that way around me or my husband - he has never bitten me or tried to hit me - but that being said we are really not around any children other than him.

Tell me what to do or tell me what I can tell the babysitter to do.  Do you think I need to find a new sitter - I want him to be a good boy.  Do you think this is a cry for help - or something more??  Any advice is appreciated.

My best friends wedding

Last weekend I was in my best friends wedding.  It was a great time.  She had it in her backyard and at first I could not picture a wedding in someone's backyard but it all turned out so nice.


Dana and I have been friends since we were 13 years old - we went to junior high together - we use to smoke in the bathroom together (I do not smoke anymore).

She was the one that introduced me to my husband John.  She was the maid of honor in my wedding.

She made a beautiful bride and I was so happy to share her day with her.
