Hi,
So today is our family day and I should be feeling happy but instead I am scared. Very scared. Little has been home for 2 years and is 3.4. We love her and she loves us. All good, right? This should now just be like plain sailing until teens.
This is my real problem though and I really need some advice. She has been going to a nursery full time for 4 months. She cries at drop off most days but is happy and is enjoying it 30 seconds later. I believe this.
Two things have happened recently that make me worried. We were invited to a class birthday and she said she wanted to go, we went. It became very clear that people were trying to be her friend but she wasn't bothered. Socially she looked behind other children, although she was the youngest there by 3 months.
Today was the nursery singing and my husband and I went. She clocked my husband and that was it, no singing, just sitting on his lap. She likes the carers at nursery but I sometimes wonder if they like her. They often seem to dismiss my worries about things.
Do I pull her out of nursery? Is this normal three year old behaviour? I can't see the wood for the trees here. Am I just feeling overly emotional because of the day? How can I help her with all of this?
Also, as an aside, is family day always bittersweet?
Any advice greatly appreciated.

I know she did Puffin. I hope she's ok and that it's working out. She made such a huge difference to so many of us and I miss her.
Lilka, if you're lurking, we hope you and yours are well and happy and that you know how much we value you here
