Just wondering what's normal.
DD is 2 years one month. She goes to nursery 3 days a week and has done for a year. She is very attached to me. I think this is partly because she spends a lot of time just with me - my family are great but live in Northern Ireland while I'm based in London and my husband is in Afghanistan for the next six months. At nursery, she insists on carrying my scarf and her teddy all day long - but will give them to me without prompting when I collect her - it's almost like they are a mummy substitute. We go to a couple of playgroups such as tumble tots which she loves, but only if she can hold my hand during play or sit on me during the singsong - she'll never wander off independently. She loves to be carried ("mummy carry" is her favourite phrase!)
It's kind of sweet and I don't mind obviously, but wonder if she lacks confidence. She's always been a bit like this - took ages to settle at nursery and gets extremely upset if her key worker isn't there.
Interested in what your children were like at 2!
