I was reminded again today just how different Ella and my personalities are. We came to Washington Park again and as we drove up I noted to Ella that it was very very crowded. Then I asked her if she'd rather go to a different park because of how crowded it was. Her reply was that "the crowded, the better. The more kids there are the more likely I will be able to make a friend." And then she noted that her and I were very different in that way. She said "i likes the crowds and you don't." It's very true Ella and I are very different in that way. She can make friends with just about anybody willing, where as I have a very difficult time being outgoing enough to make a new friend in a snap. I'm kind and sociable when they're sociable but I'd never be the first one to try and make a friend. I wish my personality was more like Ella's. She'll have a very happy life with that attitude.
Ella already made a new friend here at Washington Park and is playing very happily with her. That's my social butterfly. I do worry sometimes though that with her sociable attitude that she'll grow up not wanting to listen to me as much as she wants to listen to her friends. I guess I'll just have to make sure I teach her what's right and how to make good choices, no matter what her friends think or say.
Link and Lisey had a blast at the park playing with each other. Lisey sure loves her brother!
Ella virtually dressed up Link... She said that he "went from glum to glam!" haha. He's in for some real trouble with two big sisters.
