Separation anxiety

Beth recently changed kindergarten from one which was excellent but a fair drive from our house to another one which is closer and cheaper. Unfortunately, she had become comfortable and familiar with the old place so now we are going through a period of readjustment. She recognises the joint when we pull up in the morning and gives off the following signals:

1) Arching her back dramatically and flinging her arms in the air, like that bit in Platoon
2) Lying on the pavement
3) A-weeping
4) A-wailing

Its actually rather heartbreaking. We can hear her laments as we are leaving her behind, which leaves us with a somewhat glum feeling for the rest of the morning. The staff assure as that she's fine again about 2 minutes after we leave, but its horrible while it happens.

The things they don't warn you about, eh?

(I also blew up a tyre when I was last there, but that's another story.)
