For 15 months I was convinced he considered me part of the furniture. DS has never needed any help getting to sleep, eating (he used a fork at 10 months) he likes to wash himself and even tries to dress himself. He never said Momma until recently.
About two weeks ago he has really started to appreciate me and it's been heaven!
The problem? He's in his room calling my name for comfort....something I have dreamed about. But I know if i go in there it will not be helpful in getting him to sleep (he's not crying just wants me
)
Ugh the grass IS always greener. I was always loving this kid but now that he's demonstrating that love back I don't even want to part with him at bedtime!
I can literally feel how much I love him in my chest right now. It's crazy. But it was soooooo one way for sooooo long. He's still not affectionate but in his own little way he is trying.
Why did he feel the need to be so independent for so long? So strange to me. Held his own bottle at 4 months.
I wonder if some funky attachment stuff was going on....
