I am participating in the SITS Girls Back to Blogging week, and as part of day two I am re-posting something that I wish more people had read.
For many years my husband chased his nieces and nephew around as “The Claw”. He would place one hand around the wrist of the other and making grabbing motions with it as they ran from him with glee. They loved it. When we got married, several of them asked me if I knew about “The Claw”. Yes, I told them I have seen it in action.
A few months ago my husband started chasing JDaniel around the house as “The Claw”. JDaniel loved it. If he felt it was time for “The Claw” and his dad hadn’t started chasing him, JDaniel would get “The Claw” ready by taking one of my husband’s hands and place it on the wrist of the other. He would than run like crazy. Sometimes I join in as “Wife of Claw” or “Mommy Claw”.
Recently “Mini Claw” has been chasing his parents around the house. JDaniel loves getting his hand ready to be “Mini Claw” and chase us around the house. He really enjoys been the chaser who is chopping at his parents from behind.
I do have small problem with “Mini Claw”. He has joined us at the dinner table a few times. “Mini Claw” works like a grappler or front loader to feed JDaniel. The fork and spoon stay neatly beside JDaniel’s plate when “Mini Claw” has arrived for dinner. My husband isn’t bothered by it. He says it is a boy thing.

Oh no! The mini claw!
LOL…bad mini claw!!! I guess the mini claw needs to figure out how to use a untensil!
His neice and nephew will always remember that. My Uncle passed away yesterday and I was remembering all the fun things he did for my sister and I (the only girls in the family).
Haha, this reminds me of when my boys were younger. They would do the same thing, “The Claw”. Your post brought back those fun memories.
So cute! I love how dads and sons have such sweet physical relationships, roughhousing and the claw!! lol. So sweet!
“the Claw” is so much fun! 🙂 There are however, like you stated, some drawbacks. Boys will take anything they can find to make it messier and more “boy”.
Thanks for stopping by my blog! I’m a new follower here too! 🙂
Definitely a boy thing. 🙂 Mine does something similar.
I absolutely love it! I like the way the whole family is getting in on “The Claw” franchise 😉
So fun! =) That is totally a memory that jdaniel will always have!
🙂 the mini claw at dinner…

LOL! That is just so cute.
