Pushing her DC friends

At DC drop off the last month or so, my 20 mo old, generally sweet girl, has been UBER clingy to me.  She's been at this DC since she was 3 months, as have all the other kids in her class, all about the same age.  They all run to the door to greet me & her when we drop off, but DD just backs up into me and will push away (not hit) any toddler that comes to her to say hello (she's fine with the teachers/adults).  She previously used to run up to her friends with a big smile, so I don't understand the attitude change.  The other kids are just being friendly.  I tell her no, we don't push our friends, and I greet the other kids with a friendly hello and a wave so she hopefully learns how to appropriately greet them. 

Is this just a phase?  Is she clingy b/c I'm due with LO2 imminently?  She wakes up happy on her own and we have happy/fun mornings getting ready to go.  She walks excitedly into school, but all of a sudden gets shy & pauses right outside her classroom door and I usually have to carry her in.  I'm not sure if she continues to push them away throughout the day (will ask the teacher) but MH has said he's seen her push away kids when he comes to pick her up sometimes.  Wondering if this is just another one of those phases, or if we need to work on her social skills somehow.  Anyone go through this?

Sorry, I don't have a lot of advice on this, because LO is really social, and I actu

Maybe it's overwhelming for her as soon as she walks in to be bombarded. If there's a window to her class, maybe t
