Up until Julia was about 18 months-2 years old, she was SUPER shy. As in, was a COMPLETE velcro child anywhere we went. She refused to leave my arms. She would not talk to anyone, would not go to anyone, would not even LOOK any anyone!
Oh my, how things have changed!!
Julia has become a complete social butterfly! I don't think there is any shyness left in her. Jerrod and I have actually been talking about how we need to have the "strange danger" talk with her because now she will go up and talk to ANYONE!!
On Sunday, out main sewer line clogged up again, so Roto-Rooter had to come up. We see the truck pull in. Julia opens the door, looks at the guy and says "My name is Julia, what's your name?"!! She then keeps asking the poor guy questions. He only got relief because the clean-out for the pipe was outside in the freezing cold and I would not let her out there. Luckily, the guy was really good about it and humored her by answering her questions.
Then yesterday we went grocery shopping. While waiting in the checkout line, Julia turns to the person behind us, points to something in her cart and asks "What's that?". She then proceeds to carry on a conversation with this complete stranger. The lady was really nice about it and answered her questions and even asked Julia some of her own. BUT, when Julia moved on to ask the cashier for some stickers, I noticed the lady behind us switched lines!! LOL I don't know if it was because the other line was shorter, so she just wanted to get away from the nosey toddler!! When Julia turned back around, she wanted to know where the lady went!
And those are only two of the recent things!
