She still prefers me some days but it's not the same as it was and now she happily goes to daddy if I can't be there and some days even chooses him.<br />To break it I just handed her over to him and walked away through tears over and over again.

Yes, they outgrew it. The littlest one has done a complete 360 (well except for bathroom duty) and wants daddy to do everything and to heck with mom. I love watching that bond develop though. I'd say don't try to be distant, but don't avoid daddy doing things like helping with the coat. Sounds like you're doing it just right.

Your husband will get his time to shine when your boy gets a little older, but right now you are his safe harbor :)Brigittehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08926133266351355310noreply@blogger.com
