Little boys and their Mommy's question
Last night Dh came home and gave me a kiss and a hug. DS saw this and came running, making all sort of noises and wanted me to pick him up and kiss him. So I picked him up and we had a family hug, I didn't think anything of it. Fast forward to today, my husband said DS is jealous of you, I said what do you mean? He said the other day when he didn't want to share you with me. Then he goes on the say how DS loves his Daddy but not enough to share his Mommy. I told DH that was perfectly normal. I am just assuming this is normal, right? I do spend more time with DS and just like I do with the dogs and they tend to favor me over DH.

Re: Little boys and their Mommy's question
Enjoy it while it lasts. I still have a little mama's boy, but I am seeing glimmers of the tide changing. He is super into his daddy right now, and I only see him getting more and more into his daddy as he gets bigger.
He used to get in between the two of us more often then he does now. And he used to not care if N left, when he came home, etc. Now it's all "I want daddy," "daddy coming home?" "Play with daddy!" "Daddy, daddy, daddy." He even cries when daddy leaves now.

I don't think it's anything about jealousy or not wanting to share you with daddy. I think he just saw daddy kissing mommy so he did it too.
Cooper makes sure everyone has their shoes put away and their jackets hung up. Not because of anything other than mimicking what I do (or should do). It's nto that he loves a tidy house or doesn't want mud on the floor. They just mimick.
If anything, maybe he's loving daddy and wanting to do whatever daddy does!
That's Awesome Katie, I remember not too long ago he wanted nothing to do with N and only wanted you!
And I agree it's totally normal, T still favors me over R! But it's cute when R comes home from work and the first thing T says is "Daddy GO PLAY WITH ME?!?". They have their own relationship and it's totally different than mine and his. He still comes over and hugs us when we are hugging or kissing. Sometimes he'll ask for a kiss too. I think it's sweet.
I am totally enjoying it and thought it was cute that DS wanted to kiss Mommy after Daddy did.
Jill- that is funny about Cooper, R does the same thing. Yesterday we were at Nordy's trying on shoes and the sales girl was in the back getting more shoes and R was putting all the shoes back in their boxes. He does not like things out of place.
