I feel sad that I haven't met Owen yet. I LOVE to watch children explore, listen and learn. If I were to sit down and observe Owen for the first time, what would I see? For example, Aiden was shy, but because I gave him attention, he began to use me as a jungle gym. I loved that, but it eventually became painful, and he wouldn't stop until scolded. This weekend the sweetest little girl, who was painfully shy, walked around the pool, never making eye contact, but absorbing all the positive comments, from the crafters, like a sponge. The 9 year old, home schooled neighbor girl is starved for contact with the public, and is bold beyond what is safe. I love her and chat for hours with her, but I worry. Some boys like to ride everything, some like to dismember everything, some like to taste first, some like to watch from Mom's arms, some are attached to an object like a blanket or car. Who is Owen so far?
