Mama, Mama, up-peas up-peas....

We've been having a rough week at the house... Truman's still sick, no fever (knock on wood) but his cough is somethin else.. ugh.. hurts me to hear it :(  I've now successfully picked up the cold and man do I feel like crap... the first thing I thought of was WOW I made Truman go to daycare feeling like this? lol

Along with entering the terrible two's (early) Truman is extremely clingy to me... I know I know someday I'm going to wish for this but right now I look like one of those commercials where the kid is hanging onto the mom's leg while she drags him along... all the while he's learned a new high pitch whine that I'm pretty sure could break a glass if he held the note long enough ;)

I know right now he's testing boundaries and figuring out how to be independent (when he wants to) but I think a lot of the clingyness right now is due to the amount of change he's had in his little world in the last 6mo.

• We move out of the only house he's known
• He breaks his arm and has to get a cast
• We try a big boy bed (fail)
• Only sees Nanny (Elizabeth) every once and awhile
• Starts daycare
• stops taking Paci to daycare
• Has been sick for almost 2mo
• Is starting to pay attention when people are around and when they aren't but doesn't quite get the schedule concept so sometimes he sees Henry and Evelyn and sometimes he doesn't... and sometimes he sees Daddy in the evening and sometimes he doesn't (depends on work and traffic etc).  Loves his Gramma, Grampa and Grammy but they come for awhile and then they go back to 'Penton".
• We move back to Sammamish (long story... different blog post)

That's a lot of change to deal with even for a grown-up - no wonder he's clingy and doesn't want to get to far away from mama (I wouldn't either!)

Like I said... I know someday I'll miss the clingy and want to hear the words.. "Mama, Mama, up-peas, up-peas" but right now I'd just like to be able to do a load of laundry or walk into the other room without a piercing scream crawling up my spine!
