Fun shopping at Target

We like to take Pumpkin A on outings when we can. Most of the time she only gets to see us, which was our choice in not having her in daycare for her first year. This also means she doesn't get to interact with children much, and she loves interacting with kids. She watches them, so we now try to go to the park once a day so she can watch them playing, and maybe get to sit in the swing. And we do outings. She loves Target because you often get lots of kids and sometimes she gets to be in the same aisle with them for long enough that she can 'talk' to them. In fact, if a baby starts crying near her she starts to chat away at them trying to calm them down, even mimicking some of the sounds we use to calm her down. Much better than a group cry and pretty impressive for a little one. I just know she will be great with people for all of her life, which makes me so happy because the best way for her to be happy and successful is to be able to work well with others, doesn't matter what you do. You go little girl!
