I didn't really expect the boys to have issues with this until they were a bit older, but we may have had an instance last night. Mike came home from work just as I was finishing feeding the boys. I handed off Logan so Mike could burp him, and I burped Caleb. Then I put Caleb down and was heading to the kitchen to start supper. Logan was still with Mike and started to cry, so I walked back over to him and he got all happy, then when I tried to walk away he started crying again. I did this a few times to test it. I have also noticed a couple times when putting them down for a nap that Caleb will watch me leave the room then start to cry. Hopefully this doesn't turn into TOO big of a problem. :) Please spare me the comments on how someday I'll miss them needing their mommy. Sure, some of that is great, but I would like to avoid having it become a major roadblock to them becoming emotionally healthy, independent, productive members of society. :)
A few weeks ago we did a few spoon feedings of cereal for the boys, but then we switched to doing it with a bottle due to being out of town and just plain busyness. Tonight we gave the spoons a shot again. Talk about a scream fest! Hope it doesn't take them too long to learn. Mike pointed out that it's rather interesting that normally anything that comes within arms reach goes right to their mouth, but try to put a spoon in their mouth with milk & cereal on it that they eat out of a bottle all the time and love, and they act like we're the meanest parents ever!
Mike took Caleb to the store with him tonight. So it's just me and Logan for a little while. And he's down for a nap. I've got half an hour before the next feeding, maybe I should actually do some cleaning like I intended to today? Maybe it's not worth it and I can just leave it for tomorrow, or the next day...
