Baby or big boy?

My "all boy" two year old, who loves baseball and trains, might be having a regression. He now hates the vacuum and thunderstorms. You should see the tears. His new favorite game is "night-night with Mama". This entails us laying down immediately and cuddling and pretending to sleep. (this can happen anywhere, including a museum) This game is nice if you are tired, but a distraction if you are trying to do anything that requires standing, ie most things. Like all things, I'm sure it is a phase, and I do like the hugs!
