A sneak attack
Bribing him with a toy
Our best friend Matt is here visiting. He is in town for a teacher conference. Tomorrow we are going to the Georgia game (Aunt Christy we will miss you as we reminisce about old times in Athens-it won't be the same without you).
David has proved himself shy once again. He will laugh and giggle at Matt across the room, but anytime Matt tries to pick him up, David turns his head and grabs on to Jason or myself. Is this because I stay home with him, or because I was a shy as a child...anyone have any advice on how I can get him to be more social?

It was great to hear from you, and I'm glad you enjoy the blog :) I've enjoyed reading through your posts too. And your little boy is absolutely adorable!
Glad to see that Matt is doing well! Have fun at the game!
Do you schedule playdates yet? I had a fear of our children being extremely shy since I stay at home too. We had a patient at the dr's office where I used to work...her son would literally lay on her while being examined; he was GLUED to her. Now that would be awful!
Anyway, playdates are tough but help out. It was toughest when Logan was learning to share.
Of course, it doesn't hurt that my kids have a motormouth as a mom - it runs on my side of the family to talk to everyone within sight.
Yeah, Patrick literally NEVER stayed with anyone but me or his Aunt Joan for the first 2 years of his life, and now he'll talk to any random person he sees (waiter, checkout lady, drug pusher...whatever, he cares not). David'll grow out of it.
Amanda- thanks for the advice-I thought about joining my local mom's club but haven't yet...still debating it.
Katie and Becky-thanks for the encouragement. I was hoping it might just be a phase, but worried because my sister stays home with my nephew (except two days a week) and he is like Patrick. He will talk to anyone!
Bethany found me on Myspace and told me about your blog site. David is just too precious! I'm glad to know you are doing well.
Olivia-so glad you could visit and so great to hear from an old friend! Does Bethany have your e-mail address?
Andrea, If you find the magic cure, pass it on to me, sister!
I will admit that playGROUPS are hard. Playdates are much easier. Just meet up with a friend once/week or so. I've tried two playgroups and neither worked for me. Katie's right about all the moms thinking their children do know wrong; very irritating when you're disciplining your child and then he sees another kid getting away with murder. Not cool.
Good point Amanda...playgroups and playdates are two VERY different things!
