Rough week for Greta

Greta is a definitely a creature of habit.  After being without mommy for 4 days and taking a few days off of daycare, her last three days of the week were rough.  

The morning after I got back she didn't want me to leave her for a minute.  I literally had to put her shoes on with her kicking and screaming.  That day at day care she bit a kid.  When they showed it to her, she said bite.  Then when I was talking to her about it after school, I asked her if she bit someone and she said yes. And then told me who.  Now I'm not sure if that's really who she did bite (since day care can't say) but another sign she's too smart.  We then talked about that it's not being nice and we don't bite.  She also was randomly hitting people on the head.  

Next day, she went to the blue room (which is the next group up).  They said she didn't do too bad but had a couple melt downs.

Then today, she was back in her normal room.  She had another rough day.  Tried to bit a couple kids and the teacher, but luckily failed.  Then had a major melt down during breakfast, where they finally unbuckled her and let her lay on the floor crying.  The teacher told her she could come back when she was ready.  A few minutes later she brought the teacher her bib and said bib on.  And joined the party.  

So when I arrived to pick her up, the teacher and I had a nice talk.  Ugh!  So new plan, Greta won't do full day visits to the big kid room - maybe she's learning bad habits or just too different of an environment.  Also need to reinforce that our teeth are for eating and not biting people.  I told her that I was okay with doing whatever she felt was best for Greta.

This is the first trip that I think she actually realized I was gone and then was mad at me when I got home.  She hasn't wanted to go to day care, wants me to be by her at all times, and has been having lots of melt downs. Hopefully after some quality time together this weekend, we can get back to normal.
