only wanting mommy

Olivia is going through a mommy-only phase.  I think it might be a reaction to my going out of town last week.  She has slept in our bed the past two nights about midway through the night because she just doesn't want to sleep by herself. 

We had one blissful week of STTN.  And now that is done.  I don't know what is wrong with her.  She isn't acting sick.

When I dropped her off at daycare this morning she was crying hysterically which she never does.  :(

    Let me know when the phase stops. lol

    We've never been apart more than like a night, if I go out I leave after he is in bed so it's like I never left. I haven't peed by myself in 3 years! Actually today I got to cuz he was playing with play doh. Preschool is going to be a hard thing for us I think- we are both going to be going to school! EEK

    It passes... and then dd became fascinated with dh.  I'm still waiting for this princess and knight in shining armor phase to end.  OH MY it can be a pain at times.  Nice sometimes too.  oh well.

    Yes, DD is acting that way (for 2 weeks or so now)! I can attribute it to the fact that we've been leaving her with MIL on Saturdays and sometimes also Sundays while we shop for construction supplies for our home. She never acts sad when we leave her there, but when we return, she almost ignores us. Hurts my heart! And also, she's been getting really wierd when I go upstairs to do laundry or something, and DH is with her downstairs, she starts to call me from downstairs, "MA!" I always answer her, "Mommy is upstairs washing clothes! I'm not leaving you honey!" She keeps on with, "MA!" I laugh and usually return to grab her and take her with me upstairs. I just can't take it! It's too freakin' adorable:)

    My son is 2 and started going through this phase about 2 weeks ago. He only wanted Mommy to give him a bath, read him a book, and put him to bed. Every other night I put my son to be and vice versa for DH, so having DH do his bedtime routine has been a normal thing for well over a year now. My son would cry and cry asking for Mommy to read him a book while DH tried to do it. So, to attempt to get over this phase, DH has consistently put him to bed every night for the past 2 weeks. Now when it's time for bed, my son will give me a kiss, say "bye bye mommy" and walk up the stairs with DH to get his bath, book, and be put to bed.

    DD goes back and forth.  She does seem more prone to mommy phases after I travel for work or daddy phases after he travels, but many times it just comes and goes for no apparent reason.  A couple of weeks ago she wanted daddy to do EVERYTHING for her.  She was nice to me, but she barely paid me any attention.  A few weeks before that she wanted me for everything and practically ignored her dad.

    Just when you think you can't take it any more it will pass.  :-)
