My wee one is not so wee anymore. He's a crazy running jumping two year old mad man. We were lucky that when he was little he never suffered from seperation anxiety. We attribute this to being in daycare full time and have a large group of people loving and caring for him throughout the day.  My husband and I are both teachers and look forward each year to staying home in the summers. This summer was great. We travelled and played with friends for 2 months straight. Well, now it's time to go back to school. We started our son at a new preschool where he and his best little buddy are attending together. Each morning we drop our son off at his friend's house and his mom takes the two to school, and in the afternoons we pick up the boys and bring them to our house to play for awhile before dinner. It's a great routine. Our son seems to really like school, he loves his friends mom (hugs and kisses everytime he sees her!) but every morning when I leave him at his friend's house, it's tears and sobbing and "mama not yet!". Talk about heart breaking.  Since we never had to deal with this before, I kinda ignored the techniques to help this behavior, and I don't think what works on a 6 month old would work on a toddler who's 27 months old! Any suggestions?
