He's doing OK.</p> <p>The crying in the morning at drop off is killing me, but hopefully that stops soon. It sounds like he is doing well during the day, eating, napping for 2+ hours, and generally happy. But the evenings and mornings before/after have just been so weird - LO is just so "off".....he has been throwing tantrums this week at home if he doesn't get what he wants, he had never done this! And he just seems so needy/clingy, it's making me sad. I knew some of this was to be expected. It's just been a tough week :/</p> <p>From 4 months - a few weeks ago he was at our neighbors house (she homeschools her 3 kids ages 7,9,12) an they used to entertain my son. But he was in the car a ton, didn't have much of a routine and we move anyway so it wasn't convenient. </p> <p>Anyway......How long did it take your children to adjust? </p>
