Separation Anxiety

I popped down to visit Miss Mouse on my lunch break today and for the first time, she cried when I left. It was a very sad moment.

She was wrapped up like a wee sausage when I arrived -- swaddled in a blanket, lying on a big pillow next to her teacher with her binky in her mouth. I didn't want to disturb her so I just chatted a bit and stroked her head.

Fine so far.

Then I got up and started to walk away, and she burst into tears. Oh dear.

I knew that the day would come when Ellie actually noticed and processed my absence but I wasn't quite prepared.
