Admittedly, Jonah's been a little spoiled over the holidays. I think with all the visits, family and travel he was a little overwhelmed. In this regard, he's probably more like his Daddy, who would much prefer to stay home and relax. He's been very fussy and demanding - always needing to be in Mommy's lap. I can no longer move so much as an inch without setting off his radar and starting a full-on tantrum. It's been rather tiring for me to be in such high demand! Daddy reminds me that in a few short years, Jonah won't even want to be seen with me. I'd not be so eager to give up our cuddles except I worry that my little Mama's boy is also going to be a spoiled brat.
I made a lot of excuses when he wasn't feeling well or off his schedule, but today we (Daddy and I) were very happy to get back into our routine of work/school. Jonah fussed all morning and all evening, as if to make up for the middle of the day when he was torn away from Mommy. I expect he wasn't like that all day, and I like to imagine that school was a great way to give him back some autonomy, which seems to be forgotten when I'm around. If I ignore him long enough, he does eventually give up and find something else to do on his own.
