Where's my mommy?!?!

Well some of you may already know about what we have been dealing with here in Utah. Ranneth has been working like crazy to get into her student teaching cohort so that she can graduate in December 2010 so she has been doing a few observation hours in the schools. We just started leaving the girls with an on base day care provider. Oh boy! is all I have to say. Haley has been having really bad stranger anxiety and separation anxiety. I guess that is what happens when you are attached to the baby 24/7 for 3 months. Haley cried well more like screamed the whole 2 1/2 hrs that I had left them. The next time was not any better. We tried all the tricks, like leaving a picture or a piece of clothing with her. Even Cara was trying to calm her down but nothing worked. The day care provider then threatened to drop us if things weren't going to get better the next time I dropped them off. Of course I was freaked out by losing the only day care provider that was accepting infants so I sought out the help from the best resource I could think of... Facebook! I pleaded with all the mothers I knew for any suggestions and for a miracle! We left the girls again a few days ago and I don't know if it was everything that we had tried to get Haley to get used to not seeing me every waking hour or if it was just a miracle but Haley did a complete 180 and was actually happy at the providers house! Whew! So right now we are safe from being dropped but we will see how it goes next week! Here's hoping!
