This isn't a remark on your parenting choices but due to the fact that the gym playspace sort of blows (very babyish). <br /><br />My 5YO is chomping at the bit for kindergarten but that's just who he is. My 2 YO just freaked out at my assumption that he mingle with other kids at a playgroup this morning. Personally I think it's who they are not what we do that determines how much a transition kindergarten is.Alexis@TroublesomeTotshttp://www.troublesometots.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809709352834557002.post-13076967129654428882012-03-29T11:34:01.673-05:002012-03-29T11:34:01.673-05:00lol..glad he's ok going out w/o you now!

As a matter ...You have definitely NOT ruined him!!! As a matter of fact, I'm sure he absolutely loves spending alone time with his mom. <br /><br />I used to wonder the same thing. Having stayed home with both the boys since they were born, J2 was especially clingy and never wanted to do any activities without me. It used to drive me crazy sometimes. Other kids would be happy to be dropped off at a class or playdate. NOT MINE! You have a lot on your plate right now. Go with your gut and once you get settled in your new home, see how it goes and if need be, deal with it then.<br /><br />Just so ya know...J2 just turned 19 and seems to be OK going out without me now. ;P@dkotuckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18395598913393994830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809709352834557002.post-71527947926405411712012-03-29T09:47:55.442-05:002012-03-29T09:47:55.442-05:00I don't think it's your fault.

He won't leave my side unless we are home or if he has his sister.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06474694827431035176noreply@blogger.com
