Nope his hitting can be either before or after he eats, it happens
when he wants to play and stop playing, when he is tired or wants
every one up for the day even if its at 5 am, we hae kept track of
everything and we just can't figure it out, until just yeaterday I
saw him playing with our oldest kid and they were fighting (play
fighting) I wrestle with him but their is no hitting not even a
layful pat on the but, so we had a LONG TALK and he better quit.
We are sorry for the trouble it caused in the message board.
