When the Well runs dry...
My 3 year old does this thing. If he thinks I have been talking to someone else for too long he will turn my face to his with both his hands, holding my head firm and look me in the eyes, determined to get my attention. As you can imagine, this makes it almost impossible to continue a conversation. I have 2 demanding, active, engaged, alert, high energy boys. I know that about them. Both of them barely stop talking, singing, laughing, crying or screaming from the moment they wake to the moment they sleep (and they have never been big sleepers) and they want me to be a part of every single moment. And that is OK. If there is a moment of quiet in the house, it is normally for a reason, like they are up to something they know they shouldn't be or we have reached an over tired exhausted 'attempted melt down preventing' TV time. It is very rare for me to be able to use the toilet solo or sit for more than a minute without little arms and feet climbing over me. Over the years...
