Yeah I am kind of attached to the name as well. My dad, me and now little Ricky all have the same exact name. I wonder if he will name his future son Richard as well?
So is 10 a fun age or is he getting moody now? I will be sad when my little one stops wanting to give me cuddles. Although at the moment it is a bit overwhelming how much he clings/climbs on me. I need to work out more so that I will be able to keep up with him!
Oh wow, three Rickys in a row! That's pretty cool.
He has his moments of moodiness, shadows of the teenage years to come I suppose (and I fear), but mostly he is still very clingy. He also always wants to cling to me, climb on me, play with me. He still wants me to sit with him as he goes to bed every night until he falls asleep. It's sometimes overwhelming, as you say, but I try to enjoy it as much as I can, because I know it won't last forever.
My 6 year old, now, he is already much less clingy than his older brother. Funny how they are so similar in some ways but so different in others.
