My daughter, the bully

Kira has really settled in to daycare now. She is sleeping regularly, and gets along with the other kids. So I thought...

Today when I picked her up, her clothes were covered in chocolate and her hair was all sticky. Elaine (the daycare provider) told me that Kira had stolen the chocolate cereal from one of the older boys while he was eating it! Apparently she is a choco-holic...wonder where she gets that from. 

After telling me that little doozy, Elaine went on to tell me that Kira had also just stolen a bottle from the little boy and proceeded to drink over half the bottle before the little boy starting screaming (Kira and Shane have the same bottles, so Elaine didn't realize Kira had stolen his until it was too late). 

As if that wasn't enough, Elaine then told me that Kira had stolen one of the older girls bottle yesterday! She had a little bit out of it, but the little girl managed to take it back before Kira had too much. Good thing too, it was filled with real milk. At least we know now that Kira will be ok with real milk.

I can see this kid is going to be a real handful, I think that the power battles are going to begin very soon. The funniest thing about all this is, she can manage to hold a bottle when it's someone else's bottle, but she still won't hold her own bottle! I don't understand this kid...
