Kai has gone through quite a long period of separation anxiety which seems to suddenly have disappeared over night! Yeah! It got to the point where it wasn't even worth dropping him off at the YMCA daycare, because after 15 minutes of crying, they would page me to come and get him - too much work bundling two kids up and into the car for just 15 minutes of working out. I guess Kai suddenly figured out that I will come back for him and that playing and having fun is a better alternative to crying. This past week, I dropped him off at several different places without him shedding a tear. What a relief! Although I know that the crying isn't harmful in any way (in fact perfectly normal), as a mom you always feel so bad handing off a hysterically crying child. It's such a pleasant change to drop him off happy and pick him up happy.
