All about Mommy

Not that I am complaining in the least, but the last few days have seen a marked shift in Jack's excitement about me. Usually, I am fun to have around and play with and serve his meals, but he's not really that into sitting with me or covering me with kisses.

But something has shifted as he gets closer to 3. He's been climbing into my lap unexpectedly. He's been throwing himself at me, hugging me. He's even asked me to lay down and watch Elmo with him, which involved him actually lying still with his body touching mine.

He has not laid down next to me for more than 2.5 nanoseconds since he stopped the nonstop nurse-athons in our bed when he was a year old, so this is foreign to me. This evening, he was sitting next to Josh on the couch watching a video when he climbed down and announced "Jack sit Mommy" and climbed into the chair with me.

Everyone says little boys are so into Mommy, but I hadn't really experienced it until now. I sure hope it stays this way for a while. Makes me feel like a million bucks.
