I recently took a weekend trip to visit my parents, L and I flew by ourselves Friday - Monday. Before the trip she was seriously the best baby ever. So laid back, can play by herself, not bothered when other kids takes her toys so she just moves on to the next toy, loves strangers, LOVES other kids...
After the first flight out there though, *everything* changed! She is SO anxious, clingy, scared and whiny now. The whole trip I couldn't leave her alone for two seconds (my poor parents, they couldn't even hold her when I needed to use the bathroom). If someone even dared look at her wrong, it was the start of a major melt-down (more scared than temper tantrum-y), and she didn't even like any of the babies and kids that were around! One baby that was a little younger than her was trying to play with a toy with her and she started crying and clawing for me.
I was just chalking it up to her being scared with all the new stimuli and people, and that when we got back home she'd be back to normal.
Well, we've been home for 2.5 days now, and it's just as bad She's slightly scared of DH, and she was big-time Daddy's girl before. The little dog at daycare that she's grown up with (spends more time with the dog than with me!) makes her scream bloody murder every time she sees her. The BABY at daycare that she's known her whole life touched her foot while laying on the floor and L freaked out and turned into a big scared-y mess
And then there's just a whole bunch of other small things.
I know it's only been a couple days, and she probably (hopefully...) just needs to reset her schedule and her surroundings. Anyone else go through this though? Her daycare provider was even so sad and worried for her, because she is acting so broken
