17 months, the clinginess begins

Terri

I have read your posts about it. I wondered if my girl will do this too and thought oh how cute, maybe it won't be that bad...omfg! It's bad! It only just started and it's so aggravating! Like when dinner is burning in the oven and she won't get out from under my feet and I pick her up and move her and by the time I get back to the oven there she is again and I move her and then she lays on the floor whining. Or if I'm sitting down and she climbs up on me like she wants to sit but then gets all squirmy so bad I put her down and she climbs up again and still isn't satisfied...I cannot figure out what she is trying to do and then both of us are aggravated. Like how am I supposed to brush out her knotted hair with 1 hand. And if she isn't trying to climb under my skin, she is running around so I have to chase her.
