davinci doesn't bit ME very hard, but when he plays with milu, he bites so hard, i know because he drags her by her hair, and also because i stick my hand between them when they are playing to monitor how hard he is biting her, and he bites her hard. sigh~ i hope he is just going through a phase and will chill out and be nicer to his sister.

Milu is too nice for her own good.

The fact that he is biting you at all is proof that he is the boss and you are not.
