So nobody told me about the whining. I was prepared for crying, but not the constant whining that accompanies toddler hood! Michael is going through a clingy phase right now and has turned in to a total Daddy's boy and whines if he puts him down or leaves the room. Sometimes it hurts my feelings, but I know it's normal. Still, there were a couple of days when he actually pushed me away and crawled to Rich. Nobody prepares you for that! I think part of it is Rich makes me do all the dirty work, like brushing his teeth. I practically have to put him into a headlock these days to brush his teeth! But, we have to face the fact that our little baby is growing up.
