Kids develop fast

Kids develop fast and their behavior changes dramatically. This surprises and delights a ordinary person used to seeing adults with the predictable behaviors.

A few month ago, my son went through the possessiveness phase. He was about 13 months old. He will not let me go when I will drop him off at daycare. He will not let his mom go while leaving home. Our evenings were runined because he wants to cuddle or stay close to mom and pop. At daycare, i have plan out an extra 10 min just to be with him until he is a tad bit distracted, giving me a small opportunity to slip out. Man, that was hard as it will be weigh on my heart whole day.

Two months later everything has changed. He says bye when i leave him at the daycare or home and does not ask for cuddle as much. He has, however, become very territorial about his stuff. He wants to eat with his own hand and doesn't let anyone close to his food at daycare. He still wakes up in the night a few times. But we do not pay too much attention to his demands for cuddle, training him to take care of himself.
