Separation Anxiety

Today was M's first official day as part of the Nursery at church. Apparently he finds 2 hours of toys, songs and snacks much more appealing than 2 hours of mommy's lap and grown-up lessons.  The separation was only difficult for me, as M didn't seem to even notice I was gone.(Is that a sign of good parenting, bad parenting, or just a mellow kid?) I sensed a distinct void without my little tornado at my side in all my meetings.  



Not my best photo, for sure, but a girl can only do so much without photoshop (hint hint to B)

Big day! I think Jack needs a lesson from M on nursery. I am surprised it is harder for you than him. I was SO ready for him to go. I was wishing we could put Jack in nursery at 12 months!

You look great! No photoshop needed (although it would be fun to play with. I have dropped the hint many times without results. Oh well, can't complain too much...he does get me new lenses and accessories instead).

Congratulations! I can't believe he's 18 months already.

Wow - 18 months... That's a good time. Each of our boys were different in terms of when they hit the separation anxiety thing. But rest assured, they all went through it at some point, whether it was at first or 6 months later. O has actually gone back and forth a couple of times on his willingness to leave us to go to nursery... He likes it now, though. Thank Heavens!!

That was a hard time for me, letting C go. I was in the nursery for 6 months with him {not as a calling}just because, well,apparently I'm too attached to that kid.
