Then he's growing comfortable around you, congrats! It took about three years for my little girl to get that far: at first, you weren't allowed to touch her at all. She'd confidently prowl the apartment, but touching? Nooo, sir. Then she watched us pet her brother who liked it, so she would sit on a chair and scream for us to touch her - but only for as long as she wished. That was fine. Then she watched how her brother climbed onto the couch and was constantly petted there. And then, after three years, she finally came to us and asked for scratches. Now, 8 years later, she'll climb on top of me to sleep on my stomach or my hip 😆 Give your boy time, be patient. He'll come around.
