He hasn't been whingey and whiney with this clinginess, but after finally getting my body "back to myself" after stopping breastfeeding Maya, I now feel like he's filled that space again and he is constantly on me. I find myself saying phrases I never thought I would (For example - "Please don't lick mummy!") And he's fascinated with watching me shower, or even worse... he has to come into the loo when I need to go. I can't even "go in peace"!
It's quite an adjustment after having a baby that didn't like to be held or cuddled for such a long time, to suddenly be so intensely affectionate. This morning he even fell asleep on my chest - something he hasn't done since he was less than 1 year old (and even then, he'd only do it when he was sick). Having not had a 2+ year old myself before, I'm not sure how long this phase of uber-loving will last... Knowing my luck, he'll probably stop just as Miss Maya starts! But at the same time, it's lovely. This new-found affection for those around him means I get to witness him being super-sweet to his little sister. There's nothing so beautiful as watching him walk up to her spontaneously and telling her "Love you May-May!" (almost as sweet was when he did this at Daycare the other day, then proceeded to also say "Love You" and kiss another lady's baby!)
Oh well. Despite it being a bit counter-productive to my day, all this lovin' can't be bad for us... After all, "all you need is love" :)
