Hi girls,

Quick question about whether your kids are doing this too as I'm not sure what to make of it. DS has been doing this a couple of weeks now and it drives me bonkers!
Not all the time but at least once a day and sometimes multiple times. He usually wants lots of cuddles throughout the day. I have no drama with that. I get it. At times he says he wants a cuddle but then gets a bit upset and then moves away from me, sometimes even pushes me away or struggles to get out of my arms then sits on the other side of the room and still calls for cuddles. If I go to him he runs/moves further away. If I stay where I am and tell him to come to me he gets louder with more whinging and sometimes even crying. Says over and over "cuddle mummy". It goes like this for a few minutes and then eventually he will come to me or allow me to go to him or we meet half way and have another cuddle. It drives me crazy that he says he wants one and then rejects it. It is usually, although not always triggered by him having to wait (briefly) until I finish something. I'm talking a few seconds to a minute at most. I'm not 100% on this though. Is it normal or is it about what is happening with DP do you think? What can I do? It's seriously so frustrating!!

His sleep is all over the show atm but he's been a bit sick so we know why. Still no sign of 2yr old molars and I'm dreading them!! Anyone got any yet?

Currently have the MiL here for the weekend. She has been ok so far but still tends to play with him when it suits her. Earlier today he made her a cup of tea and gave it to her but she didn't even pretend to drink it, just put it on the bench and talked about how she was going to have a cup of tea after her breakfast. Later when she wanted to have it with him, he'd moved on and was up to a different game. All morning it's been like that so he's spent more time with me and DP than her. He will stop asking her soon (as in another few visits like this and he will learn not to bother) so I really hope she works out that she has to follow his lead a little bit to be more involved.

Hope you guys all have an awesome day tomorrow with your kids. We are all so lucky to have them. xx
