Thank you all so much for your prompt replies to my earlier mail =
regarding Bonding.  It has created many diverse and interesting replies.

I just want to emphasis at this point, that Devin and I do have a great =
relationship and I think he is the most unbelievable child (read Letter =
to Devin).  I think that maybe we have just been through so many =
enforced separations and he is also incredibly self reliant and very =
strong willed.  I am more worried about his relationship with me than =
mine with him.  Probably, it is just that he is so different natured to =
Gareth, who is an extremely loving and affectionate child where Devin =
would rather be rushing around on his own.  If I am very lucky, he will =
allow me to cuddle him but only for a few seconds, kind of like "OK Mom, =
I got things to do around here" and off he goes.

Once again, thanks for so much valuable input and believe me - I DO LOVE =
HIM DEARLY.
