So I don't even know if I spelled shier right, or if it's spelled shyer-anyhow...


Babe seems to be getting more and more bashful. We are doing Germboree weekly, and progressively babe is becoming less and less interested and is beginning to down right protest going. Babe has a real issue with taking turns and prefers to wait until all kids are out of an area before trying a task or climbing. It's getting unpleasant for both of us which is not good, but babe needs to be with other kids. It's to the point if we are going to grandma's house babe will say,"Cousin's not going to be there, and cousin won't take my truck." Babe wants nothing to do with other kids. If we go to the park, babe will say,"There won't be other kids there." Saying it aloud will hopefully make it reality in babe's world.

These tendencies are not new, but as we spend mre time with other kids they are getting worse. To add to that I think babe is feeling some internal things from the stresses in our house with the loss of my mom. Babe had a total melt down last night when we left babe with grandma and grandpa so we could run an errand. Now babe spends every Friday with grandma, and we have other visits with grandma at our house, her house- but this was a melt down on the level of which I haven't seen in ages.

Any thoughts, any ideas from parents of shy or bashful kids? I want babe to feel confident and comfortable, whether or not babe tends to be shy. That's part of babe's nature, but let's face it, the world doesn't like bashful kids.
