Cuddle bug

At two-and-a-half, Eddie is still quite attached to me at times. At his worst, he follows me around whining, "Mommy I neeeeed you!"  At his best, he climbs in my lap happily and says, "Mommy, I want to snuggle you!" But my favorite is when he's playing or otherwise occupied and he runs up, lays his head on my shoulder or leg, yells "SNUGGLE!," and runs away.

All things considered (read: also having a nursing infant), it can be a bit trying, but I know it's one of those short phases and I'm trying to love it while it lasts.
