Lilly seems to be experiencing some separation anxiety. About 4 weeks ago Bill and I took her to the childcare center at a yoga studio so we could get some exercise.  Lilly was one of two kids in the room and I felt comfortable with the young woman who was watching them.  About 20 minutes into the practice she came to get me because Lilly was so upset.  The second I walked in the room I started to cry because I had NEVER seen her that upset.  We didn’t want to give up on the childcare/yoga option so I tried again a few days later.  This time she started crying the second I left the room – and she repeated this behavior at the gym daycare.

We have decided to hire a nanny to watch Lilly one day a week for a few hours and on occasional Friday/Saturday evenings.  We’re hoping that Lilly adjusts to this change and begins to enjoy Katherine.  Meanwhile, I’m still going to try to take her to the childcare centers at the gym/yoga and hope that she gets over this soon.  Thankfully she does great with her daddy and grandmothers!
