Whenever we are at a group function, Lydia follows me VERY closely and wants to hold my hand (which gets in the way of taking pictures mind you) – here she is earlier today at the little house on the prairie bookclub meeting, looking up at me with fear in her eyes, wanting me to hold her hand. She’s kinda cute in a big fraidy-cat way, huh? She did eventually warm up and go play with the other kids, which for her is a HUGE step – normally she doesn’t…growing up perhaps?
That photo is too precious!!
Thank you Kara! Nice to see you “here”
I’ve added your blog to my reader…
Riley does the same thing in group settings, and even in one-on-one with someone new she’s not familiar with. Once she gets to know someone, she’s loud and crazy and wild. But she’s always clingy in large groups, even if everyone there is family.
