Boo!!!

It has been a long time since I last posted. I can't promise I'll be much better because I still have a lot of organizing to do, but I'll try to be a little better at least.

Last Sunday I figured I'd let Dani see what nursery was like. She still has a few more weeks until she is officially nursery age, but with her separation anxiety, I know it will take longer than that for her to adjust. So, I stayed with her to help her get used to having other kids around and see what the schedule, songs and expectations are in the class so I can help prepare her at home.

We met a cute little girl who was at least 2 (probably near 2 1/2) judging by her looks and language. Dani decided to make friends with her, but since Dani has only made friends with younger babies (mainly Jackson), she doesn't quite know how to do this. She said "hi" as I told her to, but then she charged towards the little girl saying "boo" repeatedly. I took the video below to give you an example of what this looked like.

She was still about 2 feet away from the girl after charging. The two year old was somewhat perplexed at this behavior and just stared at Dani like she was strange. I tried to explain to her that Dani was playing "peekaboo" and she smiled back. The other kids were not interacting much, and I was thrilled to see Dani try to interact with others, but I think I need to teach her more common ways of approaching kids her age. Any ideas?

After the "boo!" series she just dances and I thought her dance was cute so I left the camera running. Hope you enjoy!
