Well the kiddo was happy to see me - then with in an hour she threw a snit that almost escalated into a melt down. I was a little scared by how fast it escalated -she was ready to start hitting-but she redirected quickly over all. I of course took the opportunity to make her sit on my lap for a little while. Now we seem to be back in sync. I think this should be most of it. In the past it's always been about one meltdown on my return and she frequently has wanted to hit me then. It's such a primal moment for her.
