When hugs turn to wrestling

Lately when LT wakes up in the morning, one of the first things he says is, "see fends, people coming?" He is a little social butterfly (not sure where he gets this, but we do have some pretty social relatives). Regardless, yesterday was no exception and the poor kid had to hang out with his parents most of the day. However, we did have plans to go to jazz in the park with Z. LT was crazy when we got there, climbing like a monkey all over Bri and I. Just as we were getting slightly tired of being jungle gyms, Z showed up! They played, chatted, ate and entertained each other while the adults all had some time to chat. Then, hugging started. LT starts out very innocently with his hugs and for some reason, his innocence often turns more rough (not just with Z, but the dogs, Brian and I and other friends).
Above, LT is giving Z a very innocent hug (although he's not always aware of his sheer body mass when he leans on people).
Below, you can see Albert's hand intervening as LT leans a little more and more into Z and would clearly just tip him right over if no one was there.
Above, LT starts out innocently just giving Z a pat, but below you can see his actions turn a bit more into a wrestling move. I think the wrestling will only increase in the years to come.
*** Before Z broke his leg, we let the boys wrestle a bit more, but the game isn't too fair right now, so interventions are required!
