Poor Claire

By now you know that Claire is shy. Put her in a room full of kids and she grabs on to your pant leg for dear life. Last weekend we had our annual neighborhood cookout. There were probably 20 kids under 10 years there. Initially Claire sat behind our chairs, almost hiding. We finally got her to play with Ella and Cassidy (both around 8 years old). They were excited because they thought they taught Claire to count to five.

Lynn made unofficial plans to meet with a couple neighbors and their daughters (2-3 years old) later that week, but forgot to confirm with them. So Lynn and Claire are sitting outside on the rocking chairs waiting for Alexis and Callie to come play and they didn't come. Next Lynn was telling Claire that they were going to a new tumbling class and that Claire would meet some new kids. They went to the tumbling class and Claire was the only one who showed up.

Poor girl is going to have a complex when she grows up.

Rejoinder: Callie and Alexis are coming over tomorrow (10/20/10) to play with Claire! Lynn has me cleaning up the entire house!

so, mark does exaggerate a little. she isn't so much shy as reserved (like her daddy!). she had a great time at the playdate today. all morning she talked about how her friends were coming over to play. she started out slow until she felt comfortable. near the end, she asked if her friends could eat with her. so, i got some snacks ready and she brought the girls their respective plates. so sweet.
