Krissy cried when it was time to go to Primary on Sunday, Krissy cried when it was time to go to play group yesterday, Krissy cried today when we got to her school to drop her off...
We've got a bad case of separation anxiety brewing...
What to do??? I've been stressing all day, feeling completely at a loss. That's where the frustration comes in. I'm sure everything I have tried is completely wrong. That's where the guilt comes in. And...we leave for our trip 2 weeks from Friday! It may be just what the doctor would order, but it still makes me feel terrible. So, the best thing I can think of is just to give her more time away from me...any other suggestions out there? I can't be the only one. At least, I sure hope so...

No worries everyone...I just read this again myself and I sounded really stressed...I guess that is how I felt yesterday. But...the good news is...today is a new day and we are doing much better! Brittany took Krissy for the afternoon and she is having the time of her life! Once again...Brittany saves the day! Thanks Britt!
...hopefully there will be NO tears at school tomorrow. Fingers are already crossed...
How sad is this anyway...it has come to me leaving myself comments...and it is the only one to boot!
...chuckle, chuckle... :) Bloggers come back!
Sorry :( I just haven't had time. When I read this early this morning, I thought "What advice can I give?". I've been thinking about this all day, and then I get back on to check what others have said, and you're kind of talking to yourself (he,he). Looks like you've got it figured out. Please don't worry about your trip. I've done this a few times, and was worried the whole time, only to find out that the kids were having the time of their lives without me. So, go and enjoy your trip and don't worry!
Crap! Thanks to Britt I will never be the her favorite. LOL! What a lucky girl to have SO many cute aunts...I am so glad that today was better. Since I didn't talk to you, I was nervous. I am sure it will be better soon and we might as well enjoy it because there may come a day they don't want anything to do with us!
Is she tired and getting enough sleep? Is she feeling alright? I find that sometimes the reason the kids are acting out is because they are tired... or sick! Hopefully she will do better soon :)
P.S. At least you know she loves you and wants to be with you!
It's hard to pinpoint why they go through these phases, but they all seem to at some point. Some of mine have been worse than others with separation anxiety. I've found that extra time and love works better than extra time away. Sometimes they are just feeling insecure for some reason and need a little extra mommy time. I'm sure she'll be fine by the trip!
I'm sorry I can't be of more help as my children are perfect. I wish! We have never had any real problems with seperation, they love to get away from us, what does that say?
