Ms. Clingy

I don't know if it's the teething or what, but Reagan has suddenly become very much a clingy mama's girl. This is odd to me, as the boys were NEVER clingy, even as babies. She wants to be held all the time, and when I was gone to a meeting the other night, she apparently cried the entire 4 hours. She insists on being rocked to sleep now, too - a taboo I have tried to avoid for the past 5 years, in an effort to instill "self soothing" in my children. But Reagan has also started calling "mamamamama", and... I just can't resist. She calls for me, I jump, and we rock rock rock until she falls asleep. BAD habit, but so sweet.
