That is Davilyn… and it is so tiring for me. Exhausting really. Even when I am sitting right there beside her, I am not close enough.
I never really thought that I would have a child that wanted me so much. But she does. I need one extra arm, so that I can carry her and still do what I need to do or want to do.
She is fine when I am no where to be seen. Oh don’t get me wrong, she freaks right the eff out if she sees me leaving… but once the dust has cleared she is pretty jolly. If she sees me though she wants me. I can’t explain it. It’s exhausting, really. She’ll be perfectly happy playing with a toy on the floor and all of a sudden she does a 360 scan of the room, locates me and falls apart.
According to Davi, “it had to be me.”

I've got a bit of a cling on too. It's nice to be loved but sheesh! Give me a break!
Yes I understand!! Must be a one year old thing. I swear Nolan would attach himself to me with a rope if I let him!
It's nice to be wanted, and my arms are getting stronger, but I could use a little break here and there.
Gotta love those cling ons! 🙂 Like the new look on your blog!
That's rough. Our daughter was such a Daddy's Girl, when she got in that phase, she wanted her Daddy. I'm afraid both of "the boys" are going to be attached to me. It's times like those I try to remind myself that someday they will be teenagers and want nothing to do with me.
