Heh...Ana now pulls my shirt at the front, peeks down and says "Boobie!".
Only at home...yet. I don't let her pinch though, because nipple twiddling
is a pet hate of mine. She's taken to biting too, not on the boob
thankfully, but random biting on our arms, legs etc. I don't even use the
b-i-t-e word, because she doesn't seem to understand the modifying 'no'
factor in front of it. I can't tell her not to bite at all, because then I
need her to bite a sandwich etc. We're trying to stress that food is for
biting, not people - but then I *am* food sometimes. I'm beginning to
realise how confusing it must all be for a toddler.

We made that mistake, Nathanael, do not bite, then he tried to eat sausages
without biting!

Oops! I can see that being a problem...
