Daddy's Boy

You hear when you have a son that he'll be a mommy's boy. Well not with the Lams. M is a Daddy's Boy. Which it hurts sometimes but I have learned to take advantage of that. So when he wants daddy I will either read, watch a recorded show or just take a bath. I won't lie and say that it doesn't hurt when he screams 'I don't like you!', 'I want daddy not you', or 'go away'... But I know it doesn't mean he loves me less or doesn't ever want to be with me. Daddy usually is the FIRST one to run into his room when he wakes up crying or if he falls daddy is the one right there.. and I am more the type of parent that says are you okay? and if i see no blood i don't baby him. Although if he needs to cuddle, hug or just want me by him - i will. But I want to try and make him independent and not rely on me to always make things better. that in life you need to learn that when you want something 'you' need to make it happen. not feel it's owed to you or that someone else will do it.

Now lately since D went on vacation there will be times that he actually wants me over D. It's nice to know that I am wanted but I do know that bond M and D share is still there. Which I am grateful for. It's important to me that they have time for themselves and share their special time together. Also, if we plan to ever have a second baby it will make our lives easier by trading kids off and not having both children wanting the same person.
