Ari Doesn't Bite, He Kisses

Today was the last music class of the summer. Music class is awesome and we'll be going back in the fall. Ari loves it and he gets to interact with other kids in a fairly safe environment. But sometimes things happen.
Another kid brought her dolly to class today. Ari liked her dolly and the other mommy said it was okay. Until that mommy saw Ari chewing on the doll's arm...
What did she think an almost 11 month old would do with a doll? The other parent acted appropriately, but it sorta ticked me off. I really did not want him playing with it anyway, not because it was a doll (Ari has his own) but because the thing looked pretty abused to begin with. Next time I'll just look like a bitch because even if they say it's okay, I don't. Since Ari's birth, I've gotten much better about not sterilizing everything but I really do not want my kid playing with your kid's grimy toy. Especially since he chews on everything. He did kiss the doll for the first ten minutes. It was a very cute make-out session... Hopefully he'll learn soon that kisses are okay, but you should not try to chew your date's arm off after.
Thankfully he only bites toys, not kids, but I'm watching him closely...
