[quote=Anonymous]Just as an update-- it seems like things are getting better.  I still wish she was more confident, but my DD seems ok with her.  She seems level headed and warm.  I'm trying to be very specific about my expectations.  I told her we need to have a verbal update at the end of day (she was just walking out the door).  She seems very naïve about quirky toddler behavior.  She asked me why my DD eats better when she is around other neighborhood children who are also eating than in a one on one situation at home.  She also wanted to know why my DD refuses to drink cups of milk from her.  I can explain my own theories (eating with other kids is a great social activity? kind of like daycare?), but there is no absolute answer.  Morning separation anxiety has also developed, adding to the stress.  I keep reminding her that they need to get used to each other.  One of the reasons I picked this woman is that she had started as a nanny with a 1.5 year old before-- I kind of assumed she was a vault of information about toddlers.  Whoops.[/quote]
