Jen,

YES! My DD7 has always been a confident, wave-a-quick-goodbye-and-she's-off kind of gal. Then, about one month before school started, she would WAIL every night about going back to school because she'd have to be away from me. She wanted me to have lunch with her, stay in the classroom, always be the one to pick her up from school....

School started, and it continued on for about a week, but now she's pretty much over it.

So, there's hope it's just a phase....!

Jen
