I just started my daycare so had my own 10 month old son and 11 month old DCG ... It was rough for the first 4 weeks and then got better for a couple of weeks before christmas and now after three weeks off she is having a rough week again. her parents told me that she was sick over the holidays so they carried her almost the whole time and just gave her whatever she wanted. she has been back with me for 7 days now and we have had improvements every day :-).
however, i started transitioning a 2 year old DCB into care yesterday and he had a super rough time so it really disrupted our flow and upset DCG. At one point DCB and DCG were both wailing away and my own little guy was just staring at me with these huge eyes as if to say, `what the heck, mom!`
good for you for giving yourself an easy day today! hope you enjoy it!
