20 month old is a thumb sucker.
It's warm out, and I am wearing shorts.
We keeps wrapping both his arms around my legs and rubbing his wet thumbs on the backs of my legs. It's really creeping me out.
I want to push him off, but obviously that's just mean. So, instead, I shuffle around in tiny little steps while he clings to my legs and trying to get his thumb back in his mouth.
Please let this be a short stage.

eh, I might be wrong, but I REALLY don't think it's mean to insist that he not hang on your legs. Offer to hold his hand, or hold him, or something, but you shouldn't have to sacrifice your own comfort and safety by having him clinging to your legs! What if you fall, or have to dash away suddenly to grab someone else?
"DCB, I really can't have you clinging to me like this. Go play"
"DCB, I really can't have you clinging to me like this. Do you want to hold my hand or be in my arms?"
"DCB, knock it off, please. Let's play with this ball!"

I agree, I wouldn't let him hold on to me non stop either.
