Ernest always says that I've turned Caleb into a Momma's Boy. Well, i haven't, however, I do plan on enjoying every second of this phase which is "i only want my mommy and no one else." The funny thing is that he only wants me if he sees me. Otherwise, he's more than happy to hang with others. Example, Ernest picks him up from day care and i don't get home till 7 so for 2 hours he's perfectly content hanging with his dad. The same goes for my mother. He doesn't even think about me but as soon as i walk through the door it's all about me. HA! AND I LOVE IT.
But if Caleb ever takes a nap on our bed guess who's side he prefers or who's pillow he prefers to get very snuggly with? NOT MINE!!! Oh yeah it's all about dad. Example, i put him down for a nap not too long ago but as soon as he saw Ernest laying in bed he wanted to play so he didn't stop until he woke his dad up. Then Ernest left the bed and Caleb snuggled up to his pillow slowly and lovingly closing his eyes everytime he smelled it.
Sidebar, what is it with babies and sniffing things? He'll take my shirts, his dad's shirts or anything we have on or have worn and just sniff or rub all over his face. Guess they smell something totally different.
Back to the story. So he kept hugging Ernest's pillow and then turning to me, then turning back to it and hugging it. Everytime he would snuggle with the pillow his eyes got heavier and heavier. Ernest returns and lays next to him. Moves the pillow and puts himself in its place. Caleb never moved. Ernest puts the sheet over him, snuggles Caleb close and that was it. Caleb is now napping with his dad.
I'm telling you. It was so beautiful to watch. It was a little more than i could handle and so i felt like the third wheel and had to leave the bed. Here i was waiting for him to nap so i can nap too but no. I'll let them have their moment. I wish i had a picture of it but you can imagine it. Maybe it's better left physically undocumented.
