November 29

It was a rainy day Thursday so the kids were inside, which is different for Maya. It is a small space divided into 2 rooms. There really wasnt any place for me to sit like when the kids are outside, so I tried to leave straight away and that didnt go over so well. I then said I would leave in 15 minutes, and the teachers had me sit in 1 of the rooms with her and kinda hang out. Other kids found their way in and by the time my 15 minutes were up 3 teachers were in there too. She cried a little when I left but started pushing someone away (she is doing that alot now), and I left. I was gone longer than I have ever been - 1 hr 35 minutes, and when I came back she came running over and gave me a big hug. Teacher Barbara said she cried on and off the whole day, but was able to self soothe, continue playing and felt supported by 2 teachers. She said that Maya did great and its nothing to worry about. Im very proud of my brave girl.
