have it mommy

Jonathan has always been a pretty big mommy's boy. But that past few weeks have gotten extreme. We went out for dinner as a family on Friday and Jonathan threw a tantrum when Daddy tried to buckle his car seat instead of Mommy. When I put him down on the changing table to change his diaper he will wail and scream "Have it Mommy" as though I have just disappeared totally. He has nightmares multiple times per night where we wakes himself up screaming for me. If I am around will NOT talk to Daddy. He just seems panicky about me being around (or not) all the time. I think it is psychologically related to Daddy having been gone for a week. Maybe he just isn't quite sure about things and thinks physically touching me is the only way to know for sure? I don't know, but it is getting exhausting for everyone around here and I am ready to be done with this phase.
