[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]5 year old only child, cries every other day or so. Said explicitly that she is glad to not have to go to pre-K but cries on her usual gymnastics and dance days. She cries after FaceTime play dates because she “just wants to be next to my friends”. Strangely, she  also said she misses going to Trader Joe’s. She’s specific enough about what she misses that it’s very clear she’s not echoing what we say, but her longings are much more narrow and focused than ours as adults. Her upset comes in bursts. One day she’ll be fine but the next day she realizes that she won’t see a certain relative this summer or do a special thing at school and she’ll lose it for a half hour or more.

I wish I handled it more like her. I am so sad but can’t seem to cry. And I’m usually a crier.[/quote]

A child after my own heart - I miss going to TJ's too.

My nearly 5 year old is fine but can't wait for this to be over. He misses 'school' and his grandparents. He is also loving the extra time with mom and dad. My 1 year old has no idea this is different, but I notice that she's much better behaved on days we go outside than on days we do not... [/quote]
