usually clingy dd dissed me for relative stranger

[red and lulu]

dd is 14 mo. she is generally very, very attached to me though very social. she loves to say hi to everyone she sees and loves other kids. but when it comes to grown-ups she wants me only, if i'm in the room. so i was shocked (and kinda hurt) today when she began following the music teacher around with outstretched arms yelling "mama." she would look right at me and then look frantically for the teacher, crying when she wouldn't pick her up. this was only our 2nd class, and she never went to her before... it was just weird. or maybe not weird but really out of character?

i own that i'm being a little silly, but has this happened to anyone else?

Was it a noisy, busy overstimulating environment? Maybe she was confused? Or just freaked by everything?

well it was music class so there was a lot going on but she really loves it. maybe, though. she was having lots of fun, clapping and dancing with me. and then she suddenly just became fixated on the teacher.

Were you wearing similar pants? Twice my DS has gone to someone else because they were wearing jeans that looked like mine. He was just confused, and kind of afraid when he realized the person he was chasing wasn't me. I could see this easily happening in a music class where there was a lot going on...

I have a 14 month old daycare boy who does the same thing. Only with two other daycare moms. It's like he REALLLLY likes these two women, and wants them to hold him. But, then he looks down at the mom's kids and kinda grins a little. I think he knows he's making them nuts.

The odd thing is, the boy's mom is also one of the other kid's mom favorite parent. Did that even make sense? The little girl who belongs to another mom LOVES the little boy's mom as much as the little boy loves this girl's mom. So, maybe these two moms have something similar that the kids really love about them. Who knows, maybe if the two moms met, they'd be best friends.

I think your daughter just really connects with the music teacher, and wants to be picked up.
