Lucas has always been a momma’s boy...until recently. I know that I should be excited and love watching this strong bond continue to strengthen between my boys, but its starting to break my heart. Since being in Hawaii there have been more than a handful of daddy comments made by Lucas that completely exclude me. Here are just a few from the past couple days:
L: “I can’t find another flower.”
Me: “Don’t worry, mommy will help you find one!”
L: “No, I want daddy help me find it.”
L: “Will you get my milk?”
Me: “Yeah, I’ll get it.”
L: “No, daddy get my milk.”
Me: “Lucas, don’t you wanna sit with me?”
L: “No, I wanna sit with my daddy.”
Me: “Oh my Lucas!”
L: “No, I’m daddy’s Lucas.”
And the worst of them all: Lucas woke up in the middle of the night scared because he didn’t realize where we were.
L: “Mom?!”
Me: “I’m right here sweetie, it’s ok”
L: “Where’s my dad?”
Now how am I not supposed to let this get to me? I feel like I’ve been completely replaced and shoved to the back burner. Levi thinks it’s hilarious every time Lucas makes these comments and he just grins the happiest daddy grin. He jokes that Lucas is now his and that I get the new baby. I know this is probably normal...especially with boys...but it doesn’t make it any easier. I want my super lovey, affectionate momma's boy back! But I have to admit, they are pretty darn cute together!

kids are always going back and forth between parents or even parent type figures like grandmas and aunts. it is hard to accept though. my husband chris leaves for weeks at a time for work and when he gets back, avery only wants him for like 5 days straight. she wont let me do anything! lol
