Mr. Shy Man

Lately I've been finding one strong character trait in Eddie......he's my shy guy.

No surprise, really, when you realize that Hubby is the same way. He is shy when you first meet him, but after a bit he opens up. And once he opens up...oh man. He's so funny and cute and loving and awesome. Which is just like Eddie bug.

This week we had a playdate with cousin Michelle and Ms. Shelby and new little addition Leah (squeeeeeee!! little bitty teeny tiny babies!! oh, she was so tiny and sweet and her faces were so cute and she was just so SMALL! Oh, she was such a cute little peanut. Sorry. Baby love over). Now, you've seen pictures of Shelby on here. She's sooo super animated and funny. And oh man, she talks. She tells you about everything and anything. Eddie was a little shy, playing by himself and not saying a word. My little man who has narrated just about everything for the past couple weeks was silent. Granted, there are only a handful of people that actually understand Eddie, but he willl still tell you whatever he wants. Shelby gladly took charge and told him "Here Eddie" or "Eddie sit here" and even "Eddie messy!" when we ate lunch. My little munchkin was happy as a clam to follow Shelby's directions and do whatever she said. Heh. My mom even said later that he was just learning to be a good husband. BWAHAHAAHA! Learning to follow the woman's direction. Good call, buddy :)

The shy thing crept up again at our new gym class. Eddie had to hold my hand for most of it. During the free play time he finally let go but didn't interact with any of the other kids...instead he watched them and would come to me when he wanted to play with something. I'm hoping that as we continue to go to class, Eddie will open up. I'll admit, this class was a little loco. TONS of kids, circus music, running, jumping, singing, throwing...it was a lot to take in. Add in the fact that I'm trying to change Eddie's nap schedule and well, I understand his whole WHOA demeanor. I was kinda WHOA myself. Heh.

We have a big birthday party this weekend for another cousin, so we'll see how he does there. Ten bucks says I'll be holding a pudgy little hand most of the time :)
