I used to love picking Lorelai up from daycare because as soon as she'd see me, she'd run and jump into my arms, as happy as could be. Past tense. As of Monday. For the past two days, I've walked in and she's run away from me wanting nothing to do with me.
I do appreciate that she's becoming more independent and having so much fun she doesn't want to leave, but I'm not gonna lie, it makes me sad. I may or may not have actually cried a little when she still wanted nothing to do with me when we got home and flat out refused to give me a hug or a kiss. Hard not to take that personally. She's been so attached to me for so long that I'm really not used to it. Do not like!
I hope this is a short phase, I want my sweet momma's girl back.
I'm thinking it's a phase. Pretty sure Leila did that with me for a couple of weeks. And it totally broke my heart. Sometimes it's so hard to watch them grow up.
ReplyDeleteWow, I think you just nailed it. It *is* hard watching them grow up. She's my baby! I don't even want to think about a time when my baby is so grown up she thinks she doesn't need me and wants nothing to do with me. Sniff!
