3.28.21 - kid snippets: Clara the extrovert at the playground

We took the kids to the playground first thing today. Clara chose her own outfit and was hoping there would be other kids at the playground who could admire it. But we got here kind of early and at first it looked like no one else was here.

Then Clara realized there was one other girl, probably a couple years older, on the other side of the playground. So, in extreme extroverted fashion, Clara runs to the edge of the playground, stops, and yells "HI!"

The girl looks a little bit uncertain and starts walking toward her parents. Clara starts chasing her shouting "MY NAME IS CLARA AND I AM 6 YEARS OLD DO YOU WANT TO PLAY WITH ME?" (I cannot even write the status without laughing.)

Fortunately the girl was good humored and joined Clara on the swings. I'm hoping Clara's extroverted tendencies will keep mitigating some of her social quirks.
