Today has been the worst day I have had yet in daycare. New 18 month old has cried most of the morning. I mean out of the 6 hours he has been here 4 have been spent crying. I have carried him around with me most of the morning. He sat on my lap during calendar and cried, he sat on my lap at story time and cried and pushed the book away several times(no story time). I put him down to make lunch and he followed me around crying, we went to the library and he screamed while I was holding him. We went for a walk and he was quiet. We played in the sandbox he sat on my lap and pinched me (comfort thing?) it hurt
! I asked VERY nicely to stop and told him it hurt me he cried louder. We eat lunch he sits on my lap and pushed plate away. I put him in high chair and he screams. We watch his tractor video ( not happy I "caved" ) he was quiet. I put him on floor to watch he screams. DCB comes to sit on my lap as well and screams at him and pushes him away.
I feel so awful for this little guy. He has had no exposure to other children, adults anything. It has been his parents and grandparents since day one. This is only day 2. Yesterday he did so well, I was hopeful that the transition would be not easy but not like this. He just isn't happy and it breaks my heart. I feel awful telling his mom. She has a ton of stress on her right now (mother has cancer).
I feel I am not giving my all to the other kids I have as well. Feel bad for everyone. Its just a giant pity party here today. I want to go off and cry myself.
I know things will get better just had to vent..Thanks for reading!
