Maddie's new favorite pastime

As you guys know from a previous post, Luke isn't exactly gentle with Maddie. He tries to be gentle and we discourage rough play, but really Luke's interactions with Maddie seem more like man-handling. Well after putting up with it for 17 months, Maddie has decided that tackling her brother is one of her favorite things to do.

Luke will be sitting on the floor watching TV and she will get a little running start and run right into him and take him down to the ground.

Once she gets him to the ground, she sits on him, and then bounces up and down.

Payback for 17 months of unnecessary roughness!

In all honesty, she loves the Luke-man and she thinks this is hilarious. I think he too gets a kick out of it. Of course, I broke it up before anyone got hurt because the only logical conclusion for something like this (without mommy intervention) is tears.
