Potty Training, Toddler Bed, 2 yr Molars, and Separation Anxiety

You would be correct to assume by the name of this post, that we haven't been getting much sleep lately.  Anna Rose has decided she is scared to be away from Daddy all day, and she wants her Mommy to sit in a rocking chair by her bed all night. 

We've been able to ease her off of having Tammy sit in the chair til Anna goes to sleep at night, but she of course spends her whole day with me.  Stay-at-home moms have networks and contacts, and they have play-dates for their kids all the time.  Not so for the stay-at-home dad.  There's no group of dads with kids Anna's age for her to socialize with.  It's just me and the kid.  We have a great time, but it kind of reinforces her separation anxiety.  Almost everywhere she goes, she goes with Daddy.  The other day, Tammy tried to take her to an ice cream party with some moms she knows and their kids, but Anna would have none of it.  She spent over half the time crying and throwing a fit because she wanted her Daddy. 

She'll grow out of it, but I wish I had some opportunities for her to get to know more than just the realtors I work with and the occasional client, when I actually have active clients.
