sticky sticky

I always hear people who have a son and a daughter say that boys are closer to their mummies while girls are closer to their daddies. I don't know how true this is, but I believe that the former statement is pretty true. When Randall was younger (about 1 yo), he clinged on to me like a plaster. To the extent that he was being nicknamed "koala bear" by Daryl's relative. Now that he's 3 days short of 3 yrs old, he's back to his stickiness. When I reach MIL's house, the first thing he does is to pull me along to his room and asks me to play with him. It'll usually take some persuasion/ negotiation (like I'll play with him again after my shower) before I can go for my shower. Sometimes while showering, he'll lose his patience and start banging on the shower door. I'll have to take a quick shower then play with him a while more before I can have my dinner. He will linger around to wait for me to finish dinner and when he sees tat i'm done, he'll immediately pull my hand and asks me to play with him. Like what happened in the past, he wants no one to sleep with him except for me. Generally, I don't mind him wanting to involve me in everything he does, since I think he must've missed me the last 12 hrs I'm not around with him. But it gets abit mundane after a while, cos I practically do not have much time to do my own things like watching shows. Often than not, I'll end up falling asleep with him at 9+pm. Fortunately, hubby just bought a LG portable DVD player as my V day present (Thanks, hubby!). Now, I can watch my shows on the way to work!

I know how it feels. Sometimes their "stickiness" may get to you at times when you have other things to do. But bear in mind, they won't ever be sticking to you when they are in their teens so all we have to do is treasure and enjoy for now before it's gone!

Cool idea to watch DVDs on the way to work, at least it squeezes out some time for you! :)
