Little Miss Extravert

On Saturday, I wasn't feeling that great, so we enjoyed dinner at Sweet Tomatoes. When we were getting out of the car to go into the restaurant, there was another family (whom we did not know) walking from the restaurant to their car. When Rebecca saw them, she yelled out with a big smile, "Hi, everybody!" Steve and I laughed because this is totally unlike either of us (and totally unlike every one of our parents and our siblings). Then while in the restaurant, she started smiling at and playing hide and seek with a family across the aisle from us (I was between her and the other family, so she was hiding behind me). I don't know how we are ever going to teach her to be cautious with strangers, although I'm glad she won't have any trouble making friends!

On Sunday, our friends Jung and Mary came over for dinner and cards, and brought some nice steaks for us to grill. Rebecca was very excited that they were coming over, and a little while after they had gotten here, she said, "Mommy and Daddy go bye-bye; Jung and Mary stay here with Rebecca." Poor thing, she's used to us not having anyone come over unless they are coming to babysit! At least she likes having babysitters!
