However, he has no issue when I leave him, he crawls away and starts playing. He will turn his head and give me a brief wave though. Like "seriously mom, leave." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-not-want-to-leave-when-you-pick-them-up-from-daycare#post-620680 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 12:49:30 +0000 MarieJ 620680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter is only 4 months, but when I pick her up from the sitters house, she instantly smiles when she sees me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-not-want-to-leave-when-you-pick-them-up-from-daycare#post-620679 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 12:49:23 +0000 winniebee 620679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last week, my LO (9.5 months) cried when I picked him up. He was very upset until I put him back on the floor and he crawled away and started playing again. I felt terrible!!! Like, what, I'm chopped liver? But then I realized that it means he loves it there and didn't want to leave his buddies! He's only ever done this once, though. Normally he smiles and starts jumping up and down or crawls towards me when I pick him up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-not-want-to-leave-when-you-pick-them-up-from-daycare#post-620664 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 12:45:41 +0000 mrs. wagon 620664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This was Wagon Jr. until a few months ago!!! We'd have to bribe him or drag him out kicking and screaming, and it always took FOREVER! He did this from the FIRST DAY he started daycare. I still remember when I went to pick him up, he saw me, then ran straight to a toy and wouldn't make eye contact with me. Chopped liver. We remained chopped liver until a few months ago. I think he sees his friends all run straight into their parents' arms and wanted to do the same. Now it's so nice at the end of the day to see him smile and come and give us a great big hug! Plus it's so much quicker to get out of there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-not-want-to-leave-when-you-pick-them-up-from-daycare#post-620659 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 12:44:43 +0000 autumnlove 620659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: same here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-not-want-to-leave-when-you-pick-them-up-from-daycare#post-620651 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 12:42:50 +0000 T.H.O.U. 620651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She needs me immediately and is ready to go home. Not like in a panicked, get me out of here, way. Just a mom I am so glad you are here, lets go, don't leave me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-not-want-to-leave-when-you-pick-them-up-from-daycare#post-620640 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 12:40:41 +0000 Mrs. Bee 620640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both Charlie and Olive don't want to leave daycare when we go to pick them up because they're having so much fun! They've been there for 8 hours! On the one hand it's great that they love daycare so much. On the other hand... we're chopped liver!</p> <p>Does your LO want to stay at daycare when you pick them up? </p>
