Lesty - we have orientation next week because Abbey starts child care on the 2nd July... and I TOTALLY expect to be told she is high maintenance after reading your post!!! Abbey LOVES to be in the same room as me and cries if she isn't. She also loves to be sung to - especially at feeding time. I would try not to take it personally - remember that any child they have to spend more than the usual amount of time with - is going to be labelled "high maintenance" - it doesn't mean they are! And like someone else said, he was probably crying with the shock of not having you around!
I'm really dreading Abbey's first day
