Mr Independent?

I think Wyatt is conflicted these days as to how independent he is/wants to be.

Example: On the way to Mother's Day Out, I park pretty far out so we can walk along the sidewalk to the door and enjoy the flowers. He walks the entire way holding my hand with no problem. We arrive at the door and he helps get it open. Once we are inside, he lets go of me and walks as fast as he can to the door to his classroom. While I'm signing him in on the dutch door, he's frantically trying to get the door open. Once we open the door, he takes 5 steps inside and turns right around and comes back to me when he realizes I'm about to leave. Then he cries for about 10 seconds until I'm out of sight. Funny boy. Some days he waves and blows kisses and some days he cries. He loves "school" though and I enjoy the time to get work done. So, I'm sure he'll work it out. It is so fun to go pick him up though. He sees me, throws his arms up for balance and walks so fast squealing he's almost running. That is the greatest gift! :-)

totally age appropriate behavior. Bad news - it may get worse before it gets better. All kids go through a little separation issue. Don't worry, it is a phase and we will grow out of it and if you are lucky, this will be the worst of it!
