Move Over Dad

I recently decided that I would prefer to sleep with Mom than in my own bed. It has caused a little tension between Dad and me. Apparently Dad also wants to sleep with Mom and he doesn't like to share. I have had to resort to despondent, desperate tears at times (I've discovered they can only ignore me for about 10 minutes before they have to make sure I am ok) but my preferred route is to be really cute and cuddly. I throw my arms around Mom and stroke her hair and she usually says, "Ok Ben, you can sleep with Mama until Dad comes to bed." Sometimes I fall completely asleep and wake up in my own bed - very unhappy. But sometimes, I just hold her tighter when Dad comes in and threaten him with a "don't try to split us up" look.

Today, Baby Madison was in my living room when I woke up from my nap. I really like her hair and Mom encouraged me to stroke it but not pull it. She is very pretty and I cried when she cried. Mom said she needed lunch and she sounded like it was pretty bad. Mom asked me to leave her toys alone and I didn't get it. I was willing to share with her. And I know she must like me.
