When leaving a baby that young you really have to believe they are OK and I did (in time). Today Millie runs to nursery, talks and talks about her day 'We went to the library, we are learning French, we made croissants', we played Tennis' etc. She does 'Diddy Dance' lessons and at 3 years and 8 months can write her name, my name, her friends names, She can write numbers and more.
