Sunday:

When I went to church today with the kids, I took Annabelle in service with me since she's had a little runny nose. I let her sit on the floor and play with my sunglasses as that was keeping her entertained and quiet. She ended up falling over and really getting upset over that. She had a 20 minute nap with me in the morning, and no nap since then, so I think she was mainly tired. We went out to the lobby of the church and sat, and as soon as we got there, she saw the Pastor's wife and their little boy who is about 3 months older than Annabelle. The locked eyes and it was like all inklings of pain disappeared and she was instantly fine. They would play and talk to each other, but the he would crawl over and she would get a little nervous and let out a cry to let him know she wanted space or I wanted to get him to give her space. I told her she was fine and that he just wanted to say 'hi' but he was very persistent in getting her to play with him. She didn't want to play, I think that was too much for her. She sometimes has to warm up to others before she is ready for interaction with them.
