is Thomas is currently suffering from pretty severe separation anxiety. It intensifies and weans throughout the
year. For the past three years, every
May til around mid July, he begins to get very intense separation anxiety
and extreme clinginess to both my husband and I. Looking back through this blog, I can see the same type of post written this time of year. I attribute it to the fact that the end of
the school year brings about a disruption of routine with class trips,
ceremonies, more casual class time, etc and also adjusting from a school routine to a more laid back
summer routine. The beginning of summer
was particularly difficult. At
home, Thomas has been having trouble being on a separate floor from me. He is quick to follow if I need to go
upstairs and gets upset very quickly if he can’t find me. If he is with his three year old brother though, he is okay. He also has trouble
getting out of bed in the morning without me there. He calls for me and will not usually get out
of bed until I come in. Hoping it decreases as the summer goes on, as in years past.
