Our boy has recently started walking. He is now walking everywhere! And he doesn't walk slow, I have seen some other babies walking - they carefully put one foot down and are unsteady.
He just throws his hands in the air and guns it! Which also makes him fall down a lot :D

Boys! They just go. Were the other babies you spoke of girls?

Awesome when they start walking, but it's a whole new world of baby proofing, and you have to run after them way more.

Yes, they are :)

We've done some baby proofing, but we let him walk and do what he wants. He has fallen but he will learn :)
We're always close-by for any major things.

Little boys and little girls are very very different I've seen. Most of my friends that have kids have girls, and they seem so sweet and good and placid and easy (relatively speaking), but one day they will all be teenagers, and then I'll have the last laugh.
 
My little Superman. (lol, yeah, they are those 3D glasses you get when watching a 3D movie at the cinema)

I quick reach out to other parents.

I'm having an "issue" with my boy at the moment and dunno if I should try and stop the behaviour or not, and if so how?


I have always had a policy that my bed, is MY bed! You don't sleep in daddy's bed! But lately, for a few weeks now, I am waking up with the little tyke curled up next to me in my bed. Sometimes on top and sometimes under the blankets. I am just wondering the reasoning behind this, it's unlike him.
 
Beo, when was the last time he saw his mum? he might be feeling a bit alone and rejected, hes getting to the age where he understands that mum isnt around? Its either that or something is happening at daycare/preschool that is upsetting him?

He sees her on a more regular basis now, but something happened this weekend where he wanted to come home. Without bringing personal affairs into the forums, I went to pick him up for the night and took him back in the morning, because that's what he wanted.

Then it could be that something happened there that he isnt willing to talk about, or he doesnt know how to talk about it. It could be anything tho so don't go to a dark place yet. Maybe see if you can get him to draw some of the stuff that he does at home and at her place? Keep an eye on the use of colours, also keep an eye on his behaviour - is he acting more clingy when he is with you when awake?

Could just be a phase. My little ankle biter is on a phase now where he gets nightmares around 4-ish in the morning, wants nothing to do with me and only wants his mom for about 15minutes but then refuses to go back to sleep so I end up "fighting dinosaurs" with him for a bit before he settles into breakfast and dressing, etcc

I wouldn't say clingy, but he asks for me a lot and is very affectionate. But he's always been like that. He doesn't have an issue when leaving me to go inside school.

I would let him be for now, if he doesnt outgrow it in a month or so, then I would maybe worry. But you are blessed with an adorable little man, maybe its just a phase, he might just be a bit more clingy right now, or check if he isnt maybe having weird dreams and he is just looking for comfort by being next to his daddy.

I know he is, and I know he is an awesome little man - I miss the haaaaaaaaaaaaaai voice messages :P

I can tell you now, you are doing a great job with him. And you know you always have friends here to help or give advice

Don't stress it too much bro, just give him love and everything he needs and it'll work out. Sometimes they suffer with separation anxiety, other times it can just be their imagination running wild.

Dude, you are his ultimate protector. I guess something happened that freaked him out like maybe a scary movie at mom's house or an incident in the neighbourhood?
When I had nightmares I would also go looking for someone else to sleep near, even our dog or my brother but first prize was mom and dad! I often had nightmares, almost every night in fact.

I would do away with the my bed rule thing, kids grow out of it anyway.
 
So.... anyone else's kid(s) bring home "rocks" for their rock collection (which is just stones they find in the playground or road)?

Just about every day he comes home with a pocket full.
