Far too soon, he will not want to. If he doesn't trip on his way to you, enjoy it and reward him with a hug. If he trips, then you can say something like, "This is why your teacher wants you to walk to Mommy. So you don't get hurt." As someone who now works at a school, I think the teacher is only saying that because she is legally obligated to. Come on, she's gotta love a kid that loves his momma! Let the boy run to you.

The joys and the pure CRAZINESS of parenting! It's such a fine balance and more often than not it seems you don't know if you're making the right decisions until it's all over. But right or wrong decisions, he'll remember by the look on your face that whatever you did, you did because you loved him. And that's what's most important of all!

So if he is running and you are smiling...I'd say that makes for some great memories!

Man, I get happy when my Chihuahua wags his tail when he sees me. I'd probably melt into a puddle if a little guy ran out to meet me. That’s the cutest thing I’ve heard all day.
