| 1 Your newborn stares into your eyes — he's actually working hard to memorize your face. He doesn't understand anything else about the world, but he knows you're important. |
| 2 Your baby thinks about you even when you're not around. Between 8 and 12 months old, he'll start to scrunch his face and look around when you leave the room — and he'll smile when you return. |
| 3 Your toddler throws wicked tantrums. Nope, those screaming fits don't mean he's stopped loving you. He wouldn't be so hurt and angry if he didn't trust you so deeply. |
| 4 Your toddler runs to you for comfort when he falls down or feels sad. Kids this age may not truly understand the meaning of "I love you," but their actions speak louder than words. |
| 5 Your preschooler gives you a flower picked from the garden, a finger-painted heart, a sparkly rock, or another gift. |
| 6 Your preschooler wants your approval. He'll start to be more cooperative around the house, and he'll look for chances to impress. "Look at me!" will become a catchphrase. |
| 7 Your grade-schooler trusts you with secrets, like his first crush or his most embarrassing moment. You're his confidante, even if he shies away from your hugs in public. |
Your preteen's fit gets louder after a while.... just in case you forgot they are mad and want you to come and rescue them from all those horrible emotions. There's no one else they love enough to really be themselves around, and really be angry at!
Thank you for all the little reminders. You could write a book a zillion pages long and still not cover them all. My 11 month old doesn't feel very good today, combination of teeth and a cold. It was a long night and today nothing makes her happy and she wants to be held at all times.. If she sleeping and I set her down, she cries. It was wearing me out before. But obviously she loves me or she wouldn't need me so much today!
i love this....... when my son just wants his mommy (which is all the time lol he chooses me over daddy) and i pick him up a lot of times he gives me a biggg hugg and a kiss he's only 10 months old.

Do you ever reuse empty wipe box containers?
