Eating cheerios by the pool:



Eating chips by the pool. Not your typical snack, but it sure lured her out of the pool fast. She was having so much fun she wouldn't have gotten out otherwise!
Running to the park before dinner:

Paige shows off her park:

Paige's social skills are really surprising me. I guess I haven't seen her around random kids in a while. I mean she goes to her class 3 times a week, but I drop her off there. So I find it so shocking to see how much confidence she has with any kid under the age of 12. While we're here and she's missing out on the social interaction of her pre-school, she is actively searching out playmates. Over here she's the first one to start the game of tag at the park, recruit kids to spin around with her in the pool, or alligator walk to the spray jets. Today when we arrived at an empty park she was actually yelling out "KIDS!!! IS ANYBODY COMING TO THE PAAAARK!!!". We couldn't actually see any kids, besides the ones that were swimming. One little boy finally came in and she had a game all worked out. "Quick! The circus train is leaving THIS INSTANT! HURRY!!!" She'll even ask 10 year olds to play tag with her. She's not shy at all with other kids. And sometimes she even talks to the parents of the kids..."Excuse me! I don't think he understands me!"--this was when she was trying to get a 2 year old to play tag with her. She runs around like crazy having so much fun, giggling and screaming. I really don't think I was like this as a kid.
