Teary 3 year old...don't know what's wrong :(

Thanks Manta
Some really great ideas there which I'm trying. We think she may have had a dream about the old house which has triggered all this, she's going on about it again today... "I want to go and live at my house" etc. I took her for a drive past this morning after we took DH to work, big mistake I think she just got even more wound up
I let her sleep with me last night and she was reaching out all night to check I was still there poor little possum...so it's definitely some sort of security thing.
I guess it's really thrown us because she's never been a kid who is like that, always been very independent in everything and she has just done a complete about face.
Kids...jeez life is never boring huh.

I don't have children yet, but my first thought was they could be having some seperation anxiety.

Tobily, we moved house a year ago and Jack was very unsettled by it. One day we just pulled into the garage after grocery shopping and he burst into tears saying "go back mummy, go back". I asked him where he wanted me to go back to and he said "the other house". Then he asked "why don't we live there anymore". That was the first time a change had rattled him - he had started kindy, I'd gone back to work, he'd changed kindys - no problem. He'd moved bedrooms, moved into a bed, no problem. Moved house, problem. It must be so unsettling for them. Interestingly enough he also mentioned the old house the other day out of the blue - it's amazing what they remember isn't it?

It's amazing what little ones remember, I'm sure her mood will pick up.
My daughter has days like that, more so when she's over tired.
I'd just keep an eye on her I'm sure she'll be fine.
