I love how hospitable, friendly, and that they love to welcome the new kid at church. But it also wears me out, all the talking and to anyone. I think sometimes one of my fears is they would just go with anybody. They are so extroverted that they are easily pulled to where the party is and not even notice that I am far away.<br /><br />It is good to know that I am not the only one with littles that say Hi to everyone loudly in the grocery store.Wattmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03379315067558553814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750282299627894194.post-33347437899731834922011-08-07T23:44:35.312-07:002011-08-07T23:44:35.312-07:00Definately agree.

I remember as a child except maybe in kindergarten..sitting in class and it was always the boys getting in trouble but I wouldnt dare do anything to get in trouble. Monkey however man oh man I feel like nothing gets his attention.Maybe its his age but after reading this I wonder if it is just a boy thing.<br /><br />Not to mention more boys then girls are being labeled as add or adhd.Monkey's Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17851470140905746904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750282299627894194.post-22835301630280999842011-07-01T19:10:59.080-07:002011-07-01T19:10:59.080-07:00Sorry for typos commenting from my phone.

I'll try and pull the link for you based on the first article you posted I think you would enjoy it and fine it helpful. I homeschool but my boys go to a school one day a week and I sometimes teach an art class there. It has really helped me in how I approach their educational environment and motivation.Bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10642750858017107595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750282299627894194.post-28105696673902770222011-07-01T16:42:31.021-07:002011-07-01T16:42:31.021-07:00Renee~ I'm not sure what Lola is going to be y...Renee~ I'm not sure what Lola is going to be yet! A few months ago I would have said introvert, but now I'm not so sure. I know she'll change a lot over the next year, or so. I don't know how she'll survive if she is really introverted!!Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05878817427434603915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750282299627894194.post-51301975829542530502011-07-01T06:28:55.619-07:002011-07-01T06:28:55.619-07:00Interesting!

On days when there are a lot of places to go he is quietly asking, "When is it time to go home??" It is always a challenge giving the other two the social outlets they need, while respecting his need to be alone!!Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12303680733635723712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750282299627894194.post-52178168687407324312011-06-30T09:46:34.331-07:002011-06-30T09:46:34.331-07:00I recently was a camp counselor at a girls camp. ...I recently was a camp counselor at a girls camp. My cabin was filled with all the rule followers. They were at the right place, at the right time for every activity and cleaned their cabin everyday because their camp book said they should. Life was pretty sweet that week! Then I came home to my kids! Not so neat nor orderly here, but I wouldn't trade them for anything---and that includes sending them to school so I could have a clean house!MissMOEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15768255902242857358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750282299627894194.post-89119808295519723312011-06-30T08:39:44.632-07:002011-06-30T08:39:44.632-07:00Yep.

Alan and I often remark that we know of no other more quiet, introverted people who have children of the opposite extreme. <br /><br />There are no strangers in Riley's life.
