(she isnt my DD but my Dps DD)
Ever since ive met her since she was 2, she always had that shyness in her so i said to DP "She will break out of it, once she start school", she had started school 2 yrs ago but is now more shy as she clinged onto my leg and she burst out crying (esp if men talk to her - even my brother as she end up hiding behind me!) .. And even last week, we went to a outdoor show to see Noddy as she wanted to go, and one of the characters took a lolly pop out of her mouth pretending to be sucking on it (but it couldnt cos it had a costome big head on), DD was laughing with us and so was everyone else but suddenly she burst into tears - sobbing - coz we thought the character wasnt gonna give back her lolly pop and everyone was going "AAWWWWWWW".. later on that day she said she didnt like everyone laughing at her but Dp said that she was laughing aswell..
or we went to her cousins bday party, and she was stuck to my DPs leg so she came up with us as we were helping out and DD was happy and sat down, then the rest of the kids came up 10 mins later but DD just froze for the whole hour staring at the floor, she wouldnt speak to us or eat or anything... i wish she was living with us as ill make sure ill take her to libraries or a club..
Awww i feel sorry for her but we dont want to push her in the wrong direction as i dont think she have a social thing to do eg Brownies (which i used to love)
