Argh! The CLING!

I'm guessing that Geneva's finally sensing something about our impending #2. We talk about the baby and read her stories about being a big sister. Blah blah blah.

But NOW...she has become so incredibly clingy with me that it's almost unbearable! She's always been a pretty independent child - happy to go off and do whatever. But there are some days here lately that I can't even peel her off my leg long enough to cross the room! She's taken to crying when I leave for work in the morning to wanting to sit in my lap anytime I'm sitting. She's just on top of me constantly. 

And the kicker is that she's so cute. She says, "I love you, Mama" and wants to kiss me and hug me. Of course this makes me feel guilty for wanting her off me. The worst part being my energy to deal with it just isn't there. 

So, I'm guessing this is normal when #2 is rolling around, right? Or is this our part of the Terrible Threes?

    That's probably part of it, but also Avery is doing this now too.  I'm wondering if its age related at all?  Avery will come up and just kiss me, or hug me over and over and over.  She says things like "I want to hold you forever, mommy."  Its darling, but difficult to walk with a 3 year old attached to your leg!

    I'm going with age too.  Gavin has suddenly started having separation anxiety for school drop offs again.  Seems like we go through this phase every 5-6 mos.  This morning, he was literally hanging to both my legs with his arms and legs.  Both teachers had to peel him off and distract him :-(  To make matters worse, Sophie also just hit the separation anxiety phase at daycare too.  And they are different daycares so its not like they are copy catting each other.  Sophie's are so much worse too b/c I have to go down there to feed her multiple times a day and she's so happy after she eats and then I have to sit her down and face crumbles like "oh no, you're not staying?"  Breaks my heart.  The guilt free drop offs were fun while they lasted :-(

    We went through this too about 2 months ago. She would freak out when I dropped her off at school and also do the same thing with our nanny in the mornings.  The funny thing is that she loves school. So I was shocked when she started getting upset there.  It was really hard :(  It lasted 2 - 3 weeks and then went back to normal as if it never happened. I googled it and general consensus seemed to be age.

    In the last couple months Jackson has gotten super affectionate with us. Telling us 100 times a day "Mommy, I love you". He has gotten a tad more clingy too. Wanting me to hold him or sit with him. It is probably a little of both age and baby.

    I figure I better enjoy it before I know it he will be asking me not to kiss him in front of his friends.
