This morning (2/10) he decided that he wanted to nurse after breakfast, I let him try, but he discovered that there was nothing there anymore! Anyway, I knew he didn't really need the milk, he just noticed the source and realized that it's been a while since he had it, but when he couldn't pull any, he gave me a shocked and a bit desperate look, then tried the other side, found that there was nothing there either (or the flavor changed?), and then he started pulling, hitting, crying, trying again, getting completely desperate and angry or offended as if I didn't allow him to have what's his at all times... it was sad... yes, it made me cry too.
He is starting to be possessive with toys and when mommy gives attention to other kids, which is another characteristic of a toddler. He has always been so easygoing until now. However, when I took him to Orlando with Jen and little Abby and when we brought the kids to play in the grass, they had episodes of screaming at each other and pulling some wooden sticks from each other's hands. It was a surprise to me. Then also when I babysat Isa the other night, I sat with her on the floor and gave her kisses, and Nikolas was there in a snap, moving right between us and hugging me tightly around my neck. If I gave food to Isa, he was right there again, although he had just eaten his dinner.
Leave it, Abby, that's mine!
I'll share this time :)
Mommy, I can walk without your help!
In the store stroller (and outside the car seat) for the first time during our outing in Orlando:
He now wears shoes outside because he is always up on his feet! We regularly visit a couple of parks with lots of grass as well as slides and swings (we've tried those too!).
