sorry, but i'm really giggling and trying to bite my tongue so i don't come out + say "but it doesn't count as a BITE if it didn't bleed profusely!!!" LOL

actually, it's kinda good that it didn't hurt (much?) or bleed ~ the worst thing you can do when an ig nips at you, is react strongly + pull away (cuz that reinforces the ig's thought that biting will make you go away) ... so by not reacting, or worse yet! reacting like "oh isn't that CUTE!" you've started to show Tarzan that aggression is NOT how we solve our problems in this house little girl! *grin* and for the *most* part, by your non-reaction to nips + bites when she IS smaller, you are hopefully preventing biting when she IS BIG ...

going crazy are you??? well, deary, you are in gooooood company then!!! cuz i know just how you feel about the '1st bite', been there, felt that! it's gotta be one of those "parent-things" i think ... *grins*
