Squeaker (14 months) has developed a really annoying toddler behaviour. She's deliberately gagging herself with her fingers, and laughing hysterically about it.
I first noticed it while she was playing on the rug last week. A few fingers down her throat, gag-splutter-gag and then a great giggle. She tried it again and I pulled her fingers out.
A few days later, from the back seat of the car, I heard the nefarious gag-splutter-gag. And then the giggle. The Little Dude thought it was funny too.
Then I clued in: she's doing this to get attention. And we just fed the beast with laughter.
