Too Attached???

Yesterday at Caleb's 2 Year check up the doctor suggested I put him in daycare to help with his attachment issues. While she's telling me this I was thinking don't we want are kids to be attached to us? O.K. I KNOW Caleb is very attached but I am SURE that he will go to school, serve a mission, date, get married, have children and I'm guessing that he'll probably do all these things without hanging on to me. He'll grow out of this stage and then move into the stage where he tells his daddy secrets (Ethan does this) that he doesn't want his mommy to know and he'll be embarrassed to give me a hug and kiss. These days will come and I will look back and miss the days when I couldn't leave the room without him yelling "I coming" or "I hold you." These days are so precious and I will cling to them as hard as he clings to me. So to you Caleb's doctor NO daycare for my sweet mommy's boy he'll grow up soon enough!

Good for you, mom. If you are not worried about him, I'm sure he'll be fine - I think you have a great attitude.

Or you could take a temple trip and leave him with some friends on the way :-)

Good for you Jen..I think you worded it just perfectly. He will eventually branch out and you are going to miss that closeness. Hang on to every moment.

YAY for Mom! If it doesn't bother you, then leave the poor kid ALONE! :D Enjoy him! He's so precious!

PS. And your friends wouldn't mind enjoying him too :) *hugs*

He is your baby and that is what babies do. Enjoy it while it lasts. I didn't the first round of kids I had so I went out and did it all over again 13 years later with my youngest two. Yup, I enjoyed it this time around!
