It's been coming. He doesn't like me to kiss him goodnight, even when no one else is there to see. Hugs are stiff (well, they have been for a while since that is just his way). When I used to volunteer in his class, he would be excited to see me and let me talk to him. Well, no more! I was in his class as the art docent yesterday and he wouldn't even acknowledge I was there. I got a few sly glances. I tried to mess around with him and tap him on the shoulder a bit. No response, just kept working. Not even a stop, Mom...just ignoring:) He got hurt the other day and didn't even want to be comforted, he just said "I'm OK" through teary eyes and a red face and walked away. Funny thing is, I'm not the slightest bit offended or hurt. He's 9 and likes to be "cool." It's sort of amusing to me. I will probably bug him at home for hugs and kisses, but I am smart enough to leave him alone in public, especially in his class. And I even controlled myself when explaining what a Boogie Woogie was to his class. I don't think anyone wants their mom dancing at school:)
