Baby J is now at an age where she can express what she likes and what she doesn't like. She can express it in her own language, in actions, or by the language we adults are currently using, modern English.
She is also at the stage where she can be very clingy to Mommy. She will not go with anyone, she will not go anywhere, if it is not Mommy. I will be lying to you if I tell you I do not get tired of this set-up. I cannot even go to the toilet, much less take a shower, in peace. That small voice will start shouting: "Mommy! Mommy!" when I start to walk away from her, even after explaining to her about where I am going or what I am going to do. She will also start knocking (yes, she has learned how to knock this early) on the bathroom door just to see my face. True, it is indeed very tough to not be able to do the things you have to do. But, on the other hand, I am just savoring the moment.
The daily routine with baby J, the sweet talks and cuddles as we wind down for the night, are the things I look forward to each day. I know that there will come a time when she will not want to be this clingy to Mommy. There will come a time when she might even avoid Mommy and keep secrets from Mommy. That time may or may not arrive, but at least, for the moment, I am everything to her, as she is everything to me. She may not remember all the things we are doing now, but I am sure the feeling that she has always been the top priority of Mommy and Daddy will linger and help her grow up to be a fine, young lady in the future.
