These days, I have been neglecting this space. It's getting harder to find time to structure a post that is worth reading, that will not bore me, besides I don't want to just use this space for regular ranting. Not that I have plenty to gripe about at this point of my life, but so many things are happening, so fast that it is hard to even keep up and jot them all down.
Things are going well as a parent, despite being woken up at least once a night by Kyle coming into my room, whose complaints will usually revolve around how warm or cold he feels in the room. Somehow upon turning 4, the boy seem to have morphed into this clingy, whiney, sticky child, totally out of character. He surprised me last week by whining "Mommy…Mommy…" and then clinging onto my leg, refusing to let go. Despite spending the whole week (March school vacation) in the mornings with him, bringing him along to run errands, and having our favourite Japanese lunches. Could it be that there are some emotional issues not being met, despite spending time with him? Maybe. Or he could just be going through some phase and exhibiting some behaviour that stems from his demanding little self.
At other times, he just turns into this toilet-humour loving and boisterous almost 5 year old kid 
Just last Sunday, he started laughing loudly and hysterically when hb said something humourous to him. Then when hb said something teasingly to me, he joined in and laughed hysterically at me. He loves toliet humour these days and finds all sorts of 'toilet talk' extremely funny. I just exclaimed to hb that our son is not cute anymore. I always have this fear that when he loses all his pre-schooler cuteness, he will be that loud and annoying kid that only his parents will like
'Bi-polar 4'…I don't really like u very much right now.
Haha… ‘kid that only his parents will like’ sum it so well! My boy just turned 4 last 2 weeks and he’s been very clingy too. Sometime he’ll want to be strong and act like grown up, but many times he loves to pretend he’s a baby and cuddle in my arms. Maybe I’ve ‘over-bonded’ with him? Hope he’ll outgrown it soon. Could only pray for God’s guidance, as many a times I really dunno what to do that would be best for him.
I think 4 is the stage where they are torn between independence and still being attached to us…explains the behaviour. Let us continue to pray for God’s grace to give us the patience as well as the discernment to tell between willful disobedience or just plain curiousity.
