UGH! This boy is breaking my heart...daycare related

He is really having a rough go of this transition to his new room.
Today was the first time I've dropped him off all week and he made me carry him in, which I did. Then when it was time to go into the playground he freaked out and wouldn't let go of me. I stayed for a bit and talked to his teacher, and finally handed off a wailing, snotty-nosed ball of tears to her Chat Icon
I watched in through the surveillance as he straddled her lap, his head against her chest Chat Icon as she rocked him.
He got down for a bit but mostly just sat on the bench next to her and watched his friends play, and then they went back to their room, which is when I left.
I just called and she said he's doing fine, reading books with his 3 buddies he's known since 5 months.

I just wish he could walk in and be happy to play and not be going through this "I want Mommy" phase.
There are so many new things coming up for him, I only hope this isn't the start of more drama to come. New classroom, new bedroom soon, potty training, and a sibling in a few months. I just don't want to overwhelm him all at once.

Thanks for letting me get this out and as usual, any advice is greatly appreciated. Chat Icon

Awww Gina. I went through this too and it is heart breaking!! TO be honest, there isn't much you can do. Just keep reassuring him. I would tell DS that mommy and daddy have to go to work to make money so we can buy him fun things. That seemed to work a littleChat Icon The night before and morning of school we would talk to him and remind him that he is going to school to play and learn with his friends and mommy/daddy will get him as soon as we get out of work. It was a phase and they get over it. If you feel to much will be going on...hold off on potty training until after the baby is home for a few weeks/months. Dont worry about when the baby arrives. Your DS will get so much attention from family members you will start to feel like your newborn is being neglected by themChat Icon I kept out bedtime routine once DD was born. It was something I felt was important for him and I. They get through it. WE are the ones who have a harder time!
