Playful Days

We've had a busy past few days and now I'm playing catch-up!  One thing we've learned over the past several days is how shy Madison has become/is.  She is super cautious of new people, new situations or even people she knows - but hasn't seen in a few days!  This is totally a new experience for me.  We are trying to be gentle and let her warm up on her own. Once she's comfy - there is no stopping her!

 Just peek at her recent fun:

Madison and her bff, Lily Olivia.  Madison loved playing in Lily's new house and trying out her ball pit and    sit-and-spin, although she was incredibly confused by how it works!

Madison at story time.  This picture does not do justice to the silly-beans she had.  This child was lying on the floor cracking herself up!

Play-date in the pool.  She LOVES the water and couldn't get enough of the splashing with her little friends!

It is highly likely that there is a lot of research and books about raising a shy-child and how to enable them to grow more comfortable.  I haven't yet found them or read them, but after the past few days, I'm thinking they should be at the top of my list.  Sure hope they come in kindle format!
