I have a little shadow, his name is Brigham and he’s my two year old. I find myself tripping over him, prying him off my legs or neck, dragging him around the house while he hangs onto my belt loops - the kid is STICKY! I love the little guy and I realize that all too soon the desire to hang out with Mommy will fade a bit and he’ll be interested in other things. Right now I am his focus and his goal is to be attached to me at all times. I sometimes worry that maybe he’s insecure, but he’s NOT a shy kid in any way - he just likes me, he really, really likes me! I should be flattered, what other male do I know that wants to be around me 24/7 constantly? I think even my loving hubby would tell you that he likes a break from me now and then, but not my Brigs. I even walked around last night half laughing and half frustrated singing to him “Your gonna have to face it, you’re addicted to MOM” in my best Robert Palmer impression. :)

Now I can totally relate to what my Mom must have felt when I was a child. I remember always following her around and wanting to be with her to the point where she’d be saying “Daria! Go do something, stop following me!” LOL! We’ve laughed about that several times since but I seriously must have driven her crazy somedays. I know that every-time she turned around I was right there and she’d bump into me. That just reminds me of how much I LOVED to scare my Mom when I was a kid. She honestly has the funniest reaction to anything that freaks her out. I would lay down in the bottom of her closet and pretend I was dead so when she’d open the closet door she would jump and scream! IT WAS GREAT! I also would hide in the clothes hamper and pop out at her - she would jump and kind of shake her hands in front of her to pull herself together. I thought it was the funniest thing in the world to freak out Mom. So Mom, hang on to your socks cuz the next time I come to visit I’ve just got to “get ya” again and maybe I’ll even film it!!! HEE HEE
