Chat, Chat, Silence

So why is it that Christian is so chatty and LOUD as we walked through Target tonight, but when the clerk at the checkout counter talked to him he was silent???
The more I tell him to talk quieter, the louder he got and of course he thinks it's funny. He was grabbing anything possible within reach. I mean you can only kept the shopping cart so far away from the stuff before he figures out that if he just turns to the other side, he's really close now to the other aisle of stuff! He was like an octopus tonight, alot of arms and going in every direction.

He wouldn't make a peep as the clerk was trying to coax him into talking to her. I guess that's not a bad thing because you really don't want him talking to strangers right? That concept always seemed like a double edged sword to me.  You don't want them talking to strangers to be safe, but you also don't want them being untrustworthy of everyone, plus they need to learn how to talk with manners when a stranger innocently asks, "how are you? or how old are you?"  Uuummmmm.....just one more thing to think about.

As you would expect, as soon as we walk away from the checkout counter, he starts chatting away. Makes me laugh! He's off to the park tomorrow with the daycare folks to play and splash around in the fountain.  Wish I could go.................

  1. You can't put a price on a good daycare. It is so much easier knowing they are in a good place. I love the water picture.
    He has come a long way and you are doing an awesome job.
