Grrrrr.....

There is a boy at Rhys' day care that is a bit of a brute. The general rule is if you're one and can walk, you go to the toddler's room...well this kid, lets call him B is one but can't walk yet so he has to stay in the infant room. Rhys and little Riley are the youngest by far and they get put down together in front of the short mirror so they can oogle at themselves and each other. (They are super cute together, she's always in pink and he pretty much lives in blue so they're quite a sight) Anyways, whenever B is at daycare, he's got to be watched like a hawk b/c he crawls over to the unsuspecting wigglers and would bop them with whatever toy he could grab but Miss Debbie and Miss Maria never let him within a couple of feet of them. Yesterday however, Miss Debbie got a bit preoccupied with changing another baby and B was free to get close to the dynamic duo. I was watching (no sound) the whole scene on the closed circuit camera at work...B stalked his prey who were busy giggling in front of the mirror and was within a foot of them when Rhys turned his head towards B, made a face and B suddenly screamed and crawled away. It was about time to drop off some milk and when I got there, Miss Debbie was laughing so hard...apparently, when I saw Rhys turn his head, he scrunched up his face and growled hard at B, not going to take his crap anymore...chivalry at 4 months, we must be doing something right...either that or Shannon's been growling at me behind my back.
