Keep your hands to yourself

We went to the zoo the other day and met up with some friends. Sophia decided that the turtle housing was her domain, and didn't want Jack anywhere near the window. Jack was really only concerned with the red lights in the exhibit, and didn't understand or care that Sophia was guarding "her" territory. Saying "no" to Jack wasn't working, so Sophia decided to step it up a notch and began to hit. I told Sophia that hitting was not OK and that she needed to keep her hands to herself. She thought about it for a second, put her hands to her side and started to headbutt Jack. I had to take a quick picture before the reprimand started again, this time trying to come up with a way to include no hitting, headbutting or touching--just to cover all bases. I wasn't expecting to be outsmarted by my almost 22 month old.

The block...The headbutt...
