The Social Butterfly Grows Up!

Anna has been quite the social butterfly lately. Last evening she had a penny social with her Daisies Girl Scout troop. She was out until after 9:00pm! The house felt very strange and quiet without her -it was our first time being here without the little monkey. Then this afternoon she had a birthday party at Chuck E Cheeses. She's definitely starting to grow up -she knows the sign for "I Love You" and frequently throughout the day we'll sign that back and forth at one another. At the party I signed it to her while she was across the room and it wasn't received very well -I got a wave back with a nervous grin. Obviously 5 1/2 year olds are too old to sign "I love you" to their mom in front of their peers. Stick a knife in my heart!

I'm always amazed how different Noelle acts when she's with her peers and I'm there. When we were trick-or-treating and we saw a bus buddy, she ignored them as if she didn't want anyone to know it's her hanging out with her parents. Then I went to her school to have lunch with her and as I saw her class coming down the hall I walked over to her and she ignored me. Where's the little girl who's excited her mom is coming to eat lunch with her?
