the switch flipped

So the "mommy-daddy' switch has flipped.
For the last month or so Caden has wanted me to do everthing.

No, I am not exaggerating.

 He wouldn't let anyone make him food, zip his coat, put his shoes on, turn on a tv show.  In the beginning it made me feel special but..... the last week or so it has been driving me nuts. (I hate to admit that but it did) I would be in the middle of doing any number of things (napping, nursing Coleman, eating, going to the bathroom, anything) and Caden would want something.

David (my husband) wold try to help but that would just cause a melt down....
"NO, I need mommy!" or
"NO, I want mommy to do it."'
The crying wouldn't stop.      I tried my best to be patient, he has been sick for the last month and I know he needed a little extra tenderness.

Out of no where the switch flipped about a week ago. Caden wanted Daddy to do everything one evening: sit with him at dinner, sit on the couch together, give him a bath.  (by the way Caden has never requested anyone give him a bath and actually allowed that person to actually give him a bath..and now it has happened twice!)

Ahhh......It was a breath of fresh air!

I know the tides will continue to change and he will prefer one of us over the other for the rest of his life, depending on his mood and needs.  I love him with all my heart, but there are 2 parents for a reason, to share the burden of frustration and joy of feeling needed.
