miracle methods, please

ellen has been testing, testing, testing. as fun as the last month was with her, this one is shaping up to be pretty unfun. all day long we're battling and sitting in trouble chair and losing things and pretty much going out of my mind. now she's added biting isaiah to the mix. she's bitten him once a day for the last three days. obviously what i'm doing is not curing her. any good ideas on curing her of this one?

no ideas, but if it makes you feel any better, Mark bit his little brother when he (Mark) was a toddler and his brother was a baby. (Says he was jealous of the new guy in town.)

My grandparents tried to get my dad to quit sucking his thumb when he was little by putting mustard on it. Maybe you could coat Isaiah in tabasco sauce...

Yeah, at a daycare that my friend sends her kid to they put vinegar on the kid's lips/mouth/whatever if he/she bites. Maybe you could do that. (Oh, I don't really know if that is successful, I just know that's what they do).

I signed up with God to have him install a switch on my kid that says, "I will behave now". I will just flip it on and he will behave. Maybe that is an installation option on the new models only. : )

Goodness, I don't know. I don't have any experience yet. I used to think I would just beat my kids butt, but I'm not sure anymore. Also, if I were to say the word "spanking" then some people would call social services to have them take my baby away from me when he was born so I will keep that opinion to myself.
