no she doesn't. She loves you so much, that she saves up allof her bad stuff for you because she knows you will love her no matter what. At transition time, play a game....nanny and I would "fly" db between us. [ Reply | More

when you get home have nanny take db and "fly" her back and forth, gently, facing you, do it it one or tow times, where you don't catch her and then finally.....weeeeeeee...into your arms. Just play around with this. She'll giggle and the tow of you can pass her back and forth. Just be playful and joyful and silly. And be glad she is happy to see nanny in the am. [ Reply | More

because you need explicit directions on how to play with your baby and easy transitions, because you don't realize how the baby thinks that you and she are the same thing....you need to have fun with her, cuddle her, be close to her, laugh at her and spend less time stressing about hwo exaclty to do things and what they mean and the nicest way I can think to tell you how to do that (and thaey may actually work) is to send you to alow key book on child development.

I know, I can tell. She will love you no matter what, but you will have more fun as a parent if you chill out and have a little bit of good knowledge. Try the book. [ Reply | More
