Yes! That is my clingy, crying two year old...she came to me last May in a sling, and was sent to my home with her sling for me to use (didn't happen). I remember putting her down on the floor and her giving me this stunned look like "You expect me to move myself?" She caught on after a few months that I wasn't going to come carry her everywhere and started moving around. Unfortunately, she was away for a week just recently, and I suspect was carried everywhere again...she returned to care asking me to carry her, refusing to play with other kids, crying if she wasn't picked up or didnt get what she asked for right away. Some of this I can chalk up to her getting close to the two year old, "terrible twos", mark but a bit to the extreme. (I've had a few other posts about her, she is definitely more suited to a nanny). Mom brushed it off at first, but when I pushed she admitted that dcg fell down a few stairs and so they have been carrying her up and down the stairs as she "scared herself and is afraid now". Mom also admitted that she in fact doesn't play well with other kids outside of my care (which I have been saying for months), and that she prefers to stay with adults as opposed to going off and playing. Drives me bonkers, I am constantly telling her to go play, which she refuses to do and if other kids try to play with her, she asks to go to "nap" (she is extrememely verbal for her age) and will happily stay in her playpen for hours at a time reading books or playing with little toys. IMO mom is a bit over the top and would ultimately enjoy a nanny more - she texts me multiple times a day to check in (kid has been coming for almost a year now), sends her own organic food for dcg, doesn't push dcg to do anything she says she doesn't want to do, insists on long "snuggles" to say good bye in the morning even when dcg obviously wants to get down....
