Seperation Anxiety

Wow.
This girl has it bad.


She has been crying when we leave her with pretty much anybody.
Not that we leave her often or leave her with just anybody...
Nana, papa, gigi and pop-pop are it.

She will not speak to anybody she does not know.
She's like a little monkey baby.
Holds on tight, arms and legs in like a death grip.

We started dance class - ballet and tap - 
and I have been sitting in on the class with her
because she will not let me leave the room.

She knows this too.
She'll say 'wook, no udder mommies are sitting in here'
I keep telling her it is okay.
I'm not going anywhere.

I have no idea how long this stage lasts, but the worst part is feeling so helpless.
I actually started crying at ballet right along with her because I honestly
had no idea what to do or how to help her overcome this fear of me leaving.
Helplessness is definitely not a great feeling.

Love you baby girl, monkey arm and leg grasp and all!
