Here we go again.

The last two Sundays, Lucy has refused to stay in her toddler Sunday School Class. We worked so hard over the summer to get her to stay in there by herself and one Sunday in August, she just went right in and never looked back. It was even becoming difficult to get her to leave when Sunday School was over. She liked her teachers and always seemed happy went she went it, and happy when she left.

Then last week we were on our way in the door and it was a bit more chaotic than usual. There were a few toddlers crying and I don't know if that's what sparked this sudden fear in her again. I ended up staying with her and she did fine once things calmed down. I was hoping last week was a fluke but this Sunday the same thing happened. I even tried sneaking out today but in just a minute or two she realized I was gone and became hysterical.

There are 2 new teachers that have taken over. I don't know if that's part of it. I don't really think so, because in the last 4 months there was a time or two when her regular teachers where gone and she didn't seem to care that there was someone new.

It so frustrating because it took us 8 weeks of Sundays to get her to stay the first time. And I know she can stay, but for some reason we're going through the separation anxiety once again. I'm glad the teachers are understanding and don't seem to mind that I am staying in class with her. I explained to them that Lucy has a quick vomit reflex and more than likely she would throw up if I left. She did that once way back last year when we visited First Christian for the first time. I've learned my lesson and it's just not worth it. So for now, I'm spending my time in toddler Sunday School.
