Darah is the sweetest little baby. She loves people, and she's usually happy and smiling. So it didn't sound quite right when her child care teacher described little Darah, who can't even crawl yet, as being a baby bully.

She's not a bully and they were kidding... well sort of.

Darah is very grabby. VERY grabby. She's always reaching for everything within reach. She can't sit near a table without trying to grab whatever she can get her hands on. Be careful walking down the hallway or she'll knock the pictures off the walls. Watches, rings, glasses - all must be touched and pulled closer if possible. But her favorite thing to grab is hair. I don't have much to worry about myself, but she's constantly yanking fistfuls of hair from Patty and Maegan (which is difficult to avoid when you're holding her).

This brings me back to Darah being described, jokingly, as being a bully. Just like with Patty and Maegan, apparently she's been pulling the hair of other babies at child care. And she doesn't let go easily either. She's obviously not trying to be mean but she too young to understand the word "no" or the concept of hurting other people. She's just curious, and has absolutely no idea that these other babies don't like it. Oh those poor other babies who have to put up with Darah until she learns not to pull people's hair. :-(
