So Pria is at a point in her life where she needs to get more involved with other kids. At church she will be joining nursery in a couple months and she is pretty shy so I want to be around her with other kids to see how she will be. On Wednesdays, there is a baby reading time for ages 0-24months which Dustin and I went to with her and it was cute. Pria just didn't know quite what to do with all these other loud hyper kids kids. It was similar to when we were in Nebraska and there were a bunch of kids and she just sat, watched, smiled and slowly moved closer to the other kids.
I don't mind that she is shy. Really I don't. I was shy and still am at times around other new people. Sometimes it bothers me a little and I know everyone always likes a more social butterfly around than a quiet person. So I do want her to get the opportunity to be around other kids and can make what she wants of the situation. If she is shy she is shy. But I can't keep her all to myself anymore...
It is not just Pria either. I have a goal this year to try and be a more social mom. Not my favorite thing... But I know Dustin would be happy if I did and its healthy I guess. Not that Dustin minds if I am not a social butterfly. But I know he would like it.
