The tyranny of a toddler

We need to incorporate more students from our wait list into the class.  I have been hesitating because of little one year old C, who has taken our program hostage with his extreme separation anxiety from his mom. Ah, the tyranny of a toddler!  I don't dare take on new students until we get him a bit more settled.   The staff might declare mutiny!  We have all been brainstorming and things begin to go better and then his usually faithful mom took a day off to go to St. Vincent's to sign up for a Christmas basket--so tomorrow may be difficult again.
