looks are deceiving ;)

seriously, I wouldn't say he was a chronic biter or anything, but sure, he bit kids a couple times when he was two or so.

Little kids don't know right from wrong (they don't fully understand the concepts, even), and they don't have much self-control when they get mad or upset. They get as mad as we do - even more mad, a lot of the time - but they don't have the same control over themselves, or an understanding of consequences, the other person's position, or feelings. They also don't really remember very well what it is they're not supposed to do. It takes them a long time to really "get" things.

For a kid to hit other kids at some point is really pretty normal, particularly if they are emotionally wound-up like Xander is.
