Poop & Phases

I forgot to mention that Hunter did number 2 on the potty this past weekend. Isn’t that exciting?!? Well if you have a child then you know it is. Hehe I didn’t think he would use the potty for that just yet, but he did just well. Another proud moment in our lives! J

For two weeks now I’ve been having a little problem with dropping Hunter off at daycare & at his Sunday school class. He is going through one of those attached phases. Before I walk him into his class, I have a talk with him that goes a little something like this:
Mommy: Hunter mommy’s about to drop you off at your school. I want you to be a good boy okay.
Hunter: okay
Mommy: Okay so that means don’t hit, push, bite, spit & listen to your teacher’s okay.
Hunter: okay
Mommy: so I’m going to walk you in & mommy’s got to go bye bye & I’ll pick you up later so don’t cry when I walk you into your class room because mommy will be back, I promise.
Hunter: okay (and he gets excited to go in)
We both walk in together. I sign him in, and give him kisses before entering the room. Right before we hit the door is when it all begins. He starts clinging onto my leg, & wants me to hold him & will not let go. He cries & throws a huge fit every time I drop him off. It’s not just at his school either, like I said this happens at church as well, so I know it has nothing to do with him being afraid of the teachers or anything. I believe it’s just a phase he’s going through. It’s so crazy because two weeks ago he did good, but now It’s horrible dropping him off. I hate leaving him all upset but there really isn’t anything I can do but walk away. His teachers says he is fine after about 5 minutes of me leaving. Ah the joys of kids & there crazy phases they go through. It’s amazing how one week they are completely opposite from the next. I just hope that this phase passes away very soon because I don’t like it. Ha!

That first poop in the potty is so exciting!!!!!!! Awesome job for him!

Allie is going through attachment issues too. I am so nervous about her starting preschool this year and her crying like that. I'm worried she won't calm down!

YAY Hunter!!! That is so exciting! I've always heard it takes so much longer with boys too but it sounds like he is doing really well! I hope it continues!

I HATE that for you. Aubrey is TERRIBLE when we drop her off at church. As soon as she sees the building, she starts crying and apparently whines the whole time we are gone too so I've started taking her to my parents house instead. I hope that it eases up and it is just a phase. It sounds like that especially since he is fine about 5 minutes or so after!
