Uh, Cal tried to strangle me...

Oh boy, I guess this is his new funny thing to get a rise out of Mummy!  I was holding him (in public at an outdoor concert, no less), and he was being silly, and all of a sudden he put his hands on my neck and kind of squeezed.  Of course I reacted "Cal, what are you doing?  That's silly!" (with a smile, trying to be lighthearted.)  Which just made him want to keep doing it.  Finally I used the "gentle touches" tactic, which worked for a second, but then he was back to wanting to have his hands around my neck.  He barely squeezed, but still.  Um, weird.  Especially in public.

Ah...kids!  Tell me, has YOUR toddler ever done that???

    Both of them do this and it usually ends up with me sitting them down for a time out.  I'm afraid they'll do this to each other.

    I'm sorry to hear it!  But glad for my sake, because now I know my kid's not secretly crazy.  ;)

    Eli has done that to DH, and the dogs.  No worries.

    LOL at this post - Jack is an occasional strangler too - it passes the time at the grocery store when he's in his Ergo facing me.  I'm sure people think I am a WEIRDO because I say "Oh nooo!  Don't strangle me!" and then we both laugh.  And then he does it again.  He has never  hurt me, it is just a game.  If he hurt me he'd get the big "That HURTS mommy please don't do that!" speech.  Which usually is very effective with my sensitive little man and gets me a sad face and a kiss. 

    Wheee!
