We are having a hard time with Sarah's daycare transition. This week (Week 2) has been more difficult than the week before. Everyday this week, Sarah cried at drop-off. She is very clingy and the minute she walks into the room, she cries. Last week, at least she didn't cry. She went straight to the table for breakfast. This week, even the sight of food doesn't appease her. She wants to cling on to me. Seems like she is regressing, instead of progressing... To be honest, I thought Sarah would do better than this since she's been dropped off at a daycare before. She's used to not seeing us during the day. But I guess the new environment and new faces are enough to throw her off and make her uncomfortable.
It also seems like Sarah is going through her separation anxiety phase right now. She's also very clingy at home and at other familiar places. Now she needs to have us nearby or in the same room. She whines when she doesn't see one of us and then drops what she's doing to look for us. Sarah has always been an easy-going baby. She rarely cries and fusses. That's why we can bring her to restaurants, libraries, everywhere because she was so easy. We are definitely not used to this sudden change of personality. But as my sister said, there are a lot of things that we won't be "used to." Kids change. Welcome to Parenthood!!
