Whenever we take our little 4 year old ekkie out to play she always desperately tries to sit on our shoulders--which we've been discouraging. She's gotten up a few times when papa isn't home & once up there she coo's & preens me. So is shoulder sitting truly a bad thing to do? She seems mostly just to cuddle in my hair & clean my ears. We are both still taller then her when she is up there, so is it actually a dominance thing like I have heard? Or should we let her up there more often?
