We recently started attending “Mother Goose Storytime” for babies 12 months and younger at our local library. They have been having it on Thursdays, but they’ve now switched it to Mondays during this 6 week session.

Well, Monday morning, as we entered the children’s department, I noticed a lady I didn’t recognize with another baby seated on the comfy chairs in the back. Jack-Evan and I checked in, grabbed our purple moon shaped name tag (which I had to wear, because Jack was too interested in eating it), and we headed towards their friendly faces.

As we came within 10 feet of the lady and her little toddler, Jack perks up, raises his hand and yells “Hey there!”. The baby receiving the greeting, looked at Jack, then promptly fell off of his chair and started crying.

It seems now as if greetings are Jack-Evan’s new found addiction, especially when it produces strange reactions in those he greets.

For the next 5 minutes as everyone was gathering, Jack held his hand in a perpetually waving motion, shouting “Hey there!” to everyone that made eye contact.

I’m hoping this is a sign of good things to come! As for myself, I’ve always been shyer than a country mouse, and I’ve always been afraid that my children would inherit my awkwardness. That’s one thing I love about my husband – he’s extremely sociable and does well around people – so he balances me out.

Hopefully Jack-Evan is going to be like his dad in this aspect!
