Break my heart!
My son started MDO last week. He missed Tuesday, so today is only his third day. Drop-off wasn't so bad. I was hopeful he would be having fun. Well, I was up at the church for something else, and I happened to walk by the playground. I just knew his class was going to be there, and they were. I ran (as much as my pregnant self can run) between cars, and he didn't see me. When I finally spotted him, my heart just broke. He was trying to get out the playground entrance gate, crying and saying "Mama" over and over again.
All I want is for him to be happy! I would not be the least bit sad about him being at MDO if I thought he was having a good time. But the thought of him crying for me makes me feel just rotten.
I know it's early yet, and I have to be patient. Ugh.

Re: Break my heart!
I'm pretty sure he didn't see me since I heard the crying before I was in his line of sight. I was just hoping it wasn't my baby!
ahhhh
I have the opposite problem, my ds breaks my heart when I drop him off at MDO because he runs into the room, no hug, no kiss, no goodbye. I'm thankful he loves MDO so much but it breaks my heart he runs off so fast!
BabyLoveTX - Thanks! That's what happens when my husband picks up the camera to take one stinking picture. Here I am trying to capture something like that frame after frame, and that's the one shot he gets. Must just be luck.
William was just fine at pick-up. They said he played in the little playhouse out there about ten minutes after I saw him crying. He didn't see me - I just caught him at a rough moment. The teacher said he must've regressed a bit since he missed Tuesday. I have to say, I felt a physical sense of relief when I picked him up.
Ooh! I am so sorry that it was a rough time for him at that moment and how sweet and endearing that he wanted his mama!
What a doll he is!
I am glad you had relief when you picked him up!!
Same for me. We get to daycare and DS freaks out he's so excited. One day both his morning and afternoon teachers were there in the morning and it was so funny seeing him excited and confused that they were both there and couldn't figure out what was better. I'm glad he likes it there, but man...
Hopefully it's just taking a little time. I'm sure in a few weeks he will be running to get there.
There's a little boy at Mar's MDO who cries anytime he spots a mama, but the teachers have told me if there's not a mama around, he's totally happy. I think some kids just have a harder time than others with the adjustment period.
That being said, I think William is going to do just fine next week. Once he realizes it is part of his routine, it will go a lot smoother.

There's a boy in my ds's MDO class that does that sort of thing too. He also cries at drop off but he's getting better about it, this was their second week. However when I picked up my ds, the little boy started crying for his mom. It made me feel bad that I made him cry because I was the first to pick up today.
