[quote=Anonymous]Frankly 1.5 is HARD. 15 months-24 months was the worst for me with my kids. Forget terrible 2 or terrible 3s, I love those ages. My son was even harder at 1.5 than my dd because he couldn't talk as well (boys are just a tad slower and more physical). So he could do everything and climb everywhere, but couldn't say what he wanted. At 24 months there was a language explosion and he started speaking in sentences which was such a relief. And they get more patience and more time permanence. They trust that when I say "one minute", I mean it and will get to them.

Also, I'm shocked you tried to put a 16 month old in a pack n play. That maybe works with a 6 month old, but a 16 month old? That would just piss my kids off after 12 months.

I also think your son wants MORE attention. I bet if you fake it and give into him more, he'll back off being so clingy. That works with my dd. She's much more clingy than I'm able to give. I basically scheduled time in my day for cuddles and long hugs. Fill his cup even if it's not the way you like to give attention.[/quote]
