hun i'm sure he loves you more than you know! My DD1 is the same even when we go to toddler bop she wont dance with me she'll go with another mum the instructor anyone but me! She is a daddy's girl over and over if there's some one else around she doesnt want a bar of me but hey i'm with her 90% of the time so i just remind myself of that and think well at least she isnt the opposite and overly clingy iykwim. Maybe it is a jealousy thing with your body changing etc but never doubt that he doesnt love you. Sometimes when DD2 is having a bad day i am thankful that she will go to anyone so i'm not torn in two so i guess it has its pros!
Can you make time to do something *special* with him every so often .. like maybe reading a new special story or perhaps baking a cake! Something that might interest him and then give you some special time together?? Just a suggestion .. I agree with the other comments that he is absolutley so secure in your love for him that he dosent hang at your skirt.
Good luck with him passing through this phase with swiftness ..
I agree with Dach. My DD is just this way. I get rare cuddles, XP gets masses, even DP (who she knows is NOT her daddy and only sees her once a week!) gets copious loving snuggles, she climbs on all the other mums at toddler group and sits on the leader at singing group.
I always thought that it meant she trusted me the best...? That's how i see it. She loves and trusts me so much that after only about 18months she could take me for granted. She now seems to be getting more aware of my feelings as not being an extension of her feelings i am getting more hugs so i reckon it was a bit of a phase too, you know? Another thing i notice is that if i don't hug her or try to hug her all day, she DOES come looking eventually, it just takes longer because she always has a full-tank of mummy loves because i hug and kiss her all the time.
Don't worry about it, it sounds like you have a happy confident little boy who knows his mummy loves him VERY much.
