Play time

It is getting so much fun watching Harper play.  Today we went to a new program at the library which was pretty much play time.  She got out the cash register and started ringing up all the things I wanted.  Later, we spent 30 minutes playing outside before it started sprinkling and a few minutes later was a downpour complete with lightning and thunder.  Anyway, while we were outside she was raiding Nate's tools to 'fix' her bike.  Hilarious.  The day was pretty much like this.

She is, however, extremely shy and gets really nervous about playing with other kids.  At the library she wanted to play with the kitchen set but there were other kids there and she was too scared to go play with them.  Reenacting such a moment later, she was going to 'dance class' but told me she couldn't go because there were too many people.  So, we practiced.  She went to these imaginary people and said 'Hi, I'm Harper.'  Ha, we'll see if this pretend experience helps the next time she's in a group of kids.
