Jungle Gym and Apron Strings


Simon's not quite crawling yet. However, his favorite games include moving all over me. I am his jungle gym. When I put him on the floor to wiggle, all he does is wiggle back to me. Motivation to crawl? Only if you can stand the screaming. Not screaming in pain but screaming in separation anxiety. My boy has total confidence to move... as long as it's on me. Part of me is flattered and, the other part of me wants to snip these apron strings just a little. All in good time.

oooo, i know that feeling all too well! i know it's hard for the babes to NEED mom all of the time, but just have patience. slowly, over time, back away as they are playing, etc. aria was 14 months old before she let me leave her in the nursery for the entire church service without crying bloody murder. but now?! she doesn't even look when i leave. just think of it as building simon's confidence...when he's ready, he'll let you know :) ps-you are an AMAZING mom! so much more patience than i ever have had...especially with simon's sleep habits! love ya!
