Since he was an infant, Henry has always preferred the
company of his daddy. I was quite alright with this, as Spencer has always been
momma’s boy, and I honestly didn’t think I could handle two children who are
attached by crazy glue to my hip.
The apocalypse is nigh.
For the last several months, Henry has become one of
those children that just can’t get enough of mommy. On one hand, it’s a serious
tug at the heart strings when he comes bounding to you when you get home “MOOOOOOMMMMMYYY!!!”
and hugs your thigh. On the other hand, any separation leads to meltdowns and
sobs and my husband dragging a screaming child away from me.
But mommy, I’ll MISS YOU (cue lower lip out as far as
possible)
Don’t go running! I want to come with you!!! I’ll ride my
bike!
I don’t want to go to Tita’s! (meltdown city, this is
daycare)
I don’t want you to go to work! I’ll miss you!
I want to ride Dumbo with YOU!
(and unfortunately frequently) I love you and Bubba. Only.
It’s been tough, guys. I love my children. Love them with
the fire of a thousand suns. BUT. When your child gives you a guilt trip every
time you try to leave the room, it’s hard.
This is Henry sitting on the bathroom floor waiting for
me to take a shower. It wanes, right? This is just the ebb before the flow?

I don't know, man. My girl is 5 and she still sits in the bathroom waiting for me to finish my shower. (Which is to say: I'm sorry. And also I feel your pain, though not REALLY pain, but you know what I mean.)
I have my own little velcro boy and I'm a little scared as to what's going to happen when the new baby is born...
His little face staring at you from the bath mat!
I sure as heck hope so. Adriana is my little shadow, and goes so far as to openly say that she wants nothing to do with Justin because he's a boy and she only likes girls. Lucy is a bit more of a daddy's girl but she happens to be in a mommy phase now too. It's too much!!!
