Adam is 18 months old and that is the age they start going to nursery, I was a little sad because my little boy is growing up but did not expect what happened last Sunday.
We took Adam to the nursery room and he went right in to all the toys and did fine... Until we went in the other room to give them our information and it didn't help that there were three other babies freaking out and crying I could tell it made Adam scared, I was feeling a little uneasy because I knew he was tired and a little cranky and I hate knowing that he will be sad without me. Matt and I sat in the other room for a while because I was fighting with myself to not run in and take him with me when Matt snaps at me "lets just go!" and that's when it happened I started crying and couldn't stop I didn't understand why exactly because I knew he would be fine but the hormones kicked in and every time I heard him whine I started again. I felt so stupid so I tried to calm down so everyone wouldn't see me crying but I couldn't. Eventually I just went to the bathroom to calm down and we left Adam there, well that lasted 30 min cause they came out with him with a leaking diaper and I didn't want to do that again that day so I took him to relief society with me.
Today I was preparing myself to be calm because I don't want to be those moms that stays with her kids at school or places because they cry a little. We took Adam into the nursery room and immediately he clings to Matt's neck, we got him a little comfortable but he still wouldn't let us leave, I started feeling that take him and go feeling and that's when I decided the only way to go is to let him cry so we passed him to the nursery worker and walked out, he cried for a min and then was fine for the whole two hours! Yay! I didn't even cry or want to cry!
I didn't realize the attachment I had on him I know I'm picky about who I leave him with but it never occurred to me that it was partly because I was too scared to be away from him :) I just love my little boy!
So am I just a over protective mom or is it normal? ha ha
