Lately Max has been very attached to me. Perhaps it's a phase, perhaps it's his way of dealing with the fact that hi world is going to change, or perhaps he thinks I'm that awesome. But he follows me everywhere. If we are upstairs and I have to grab something from downstairs he follows, if I go to the bathroom he follows, if I go to the car he is behind me. He wants me to lay in his bed with him, cries when I leave him, and is just so darn cute doing it. Almost every afternoon Max fights his nap. And many days when he throws the biggest fit, he is asleep before we ever get home from school. Today when we get home he convinces me to sit with him for a bit. Then I leave. He comes out. Walks into my room. And stands there. We call him "the creeper" in fact because he often will come out of his bed and walk in and stand there. So I say "what do you need Max?". He says "to tell you I love you". Melt my heart but I say "I love you too Max and now you need to go back to bed". He says "but what if I need something?". "If it is something important than you can come get me otherwise you need to stay in your bed." "But mom that WAS important!". Just as I was about to respond, I hesitated and thought you know what he is absolutely right. I'll take a sweet I love you from him anytime even if it is nap time. Even though at times this attachment issue is a bit annoying, I'll take it. And I'll enjoy it. And I'll look back fondly when he is 13 instead of 3 and I have to beg him to even speak to me.
