So DD has been going thru a phase...or at least I hope it is a phase. So the run down....

 So for the last 2 weeks when i drop her off at daycare she clings to me and gets so upset (literally have to pry her off me in order to drop her off) maybe this is just seperation anxiety. Or maybe something happened that she doesnt want to go there anymore? She did go through a change of teachers but she doesnt want to go to any of them not just the new one. 

Maybe she was diciplined and put in time out and doesnt like it? Im not sure.

Last night we went to the gym to work out and took her to the daycare there. It was the first time ever, she did absolutely wonderful at first. We went and worked out came back after an hour and she was sitting in the corner by herself in hysterics and had peed herself. It broke my heart.

 It makes me feel like I cant leave her anywhere....

Then today I went to put her down for a nap and she didnt want to sleep. Normally she will cry for a few min and fall asleep. This time she was in hysterics and had wet herself she was so upset.

I dont know if this is phase or if something has happened. Im getting so upset because I dont know whats wrong. Its breaking my heart. Its so hard to drop her off at daycare and now all of this....

I am not sure what advice you may give but please anything would hopefully give me some strength

    I can tell you my son went them random bouts of this too. 

    First, make sure she doesn't have an ear infection coming on that would make her not be feeling well.  I was so mad at my son for doing this one weekend last year and then next day his ear finally drained the fluid..so he didn't want to be away from me cause he didn't feel good.  He had no real fever so I never knew. 

    Second, I would ask the teachers if anything happened.  My son had a BFF for a while, but as they got older his BFF got very "in your face!" and my son is laid back.  His old BFF (who is younger) is in his class again and he's happy again.  Plus, his old teacher comes to coddle him. 

    One thing I do w/school is pop in at random hours to pick him up.  I want to see how he's eating, sleeping, playing.. My son's school knows me or DH can drop in at any time.  I'm very happy to say everytime we've gone, he has been very happily playing, eating, sleeping.  This will make you feel better to see it for yourself that she's fine when your gone. 

     As for gym day cares, my son will only go to one if he likes who runs it.  Plain and simple LOL  I went through 2 gyms last year and the second one I told the lady I had a hard time and she actually fell in love with him and he could feel it and they were buddies. 

     Good luck!  I know its hard.. Some days are good, some you feel like you do now.

    it sounds to me like it's the change she's upset about

    new teaches is a HUGE change

    I'd drop doing the gym daycare all together until she settles in with the new teachers at her current daycare

    my dd gets really upset with a change of teachers too - toddlers aren't great with change

    do they say that she settles in during the day?

    I'd talk to her a lot about how nice her new teachers are, and take time to drop her off - sit and talk with them for a bit , it'll just take time for her to get used to it - GL!
