The sweet taste of victory!

It’s been sort of a trend in my house that the kids become super attached to their dad from about 6 months until 2 years, and then they turn in to stereotypical “mama’s boys”.

So, my youngest, who turned 2 already, showed no signs of making the switch to “loving” mommy, which I have decided was probably for the best, I mean, do I really need them all to be “I want mommy!” all the time??

Anyways, the mousehunter was away on business for a night, and was sorely missed by the 2 year old, who, as soon as he heard the garage gate opening, said “daiie? daiie?” and got very excited about the return of his daddy! I thought for sure all hope of me being the object of his affections was lost!

However, last night, when “daiie” tried to put him to bed, the kid cried and cried and cried, and we were totally bewildered, until I came into the room and said “do you want mommy?”... he nodded sadly and threw himself into my arms!! I don’t know if I was happy that he’s finally becoming mine, or if it was the fact that mousehunter lost him, but I had a strange sense of satisfaction!
