I am a very mean mommy! Hailey has been having a hard time going to preschool for the last few weeks. She is very attached to me. Wherever I go, Hailey goes.
She talks and talks about going to school all week and then when it comes time to go she hides her head and latches on to me. Last week she threw a fit for 10 mins in the hall of her preschool. I couldn't do that to her teacher any more!
We have been talking about how big girls go to school without crying, big girls are happy, big girls do this and this and this. It didn't work today, so I got mean. I told her that when she got home, I was going to take all of the toys out of her room and she was going to stay in there until preschool was done. I was prepared to hold on to her door handle for 2 hours!
We got home and I got a black garbage sack and put her toys in it. (she even helped me, silly girl) She went in and was not happy. (I told her that if she wanted to go to school at any time I would take her) After a few mins of unhappiness she said that she had to go to the bathroom. I told her to go but that she had to get back in when she was done. After she went, she grinned and said she was ready to go back to school.
I hate being mean!....But I hope that this solved her problem....(good thing I love her to pieces)
