Separation Anxiety

Our little girl doesn't always like it very much when I leave. We have a new book called "My Working Mom" that is her new favorite because it explains what the kid's witch/mommy does when she leaves for work on her broom. Tess gets particularly ticked when I go to yoga. For example, today.

T: where are you going?

Me: I'm going to yoga while you have quiet time, then we will make a plan.

T: NO YOGA!!!!!

Me: yes, only for an hour.

T: (whimpering) Can't you do yoga at home?

Me: I like to go to a studio, with a teacher.

T: I'm a teacher.

Me:You're not certified.

T: I'm certified.

Me: No, you're not.

T: I am. I really am.

The short story is that after a couple of books, I went to yoga and she is sleeping in her big girl bed - everyone wins.
