She is also continuing to be the social butterfly. While she does have occasional bouts of shyness--for the most part Elizabeth, "never met a person she doesn't love". She has a tendency to run up to people and try to hug them and she considers you a friend if you are in her field of vision. She has relationships with people that don't even know she is there! When we are at a restaurant she will try to get the attention of every waiter and diner in the the place--and even when they don't notice her she makes certain to say "bye bye" to them when they leave.
There are times when we should probably be concerned about her "indiscriminate friendliness"--but it is just so darn cute it is hard to discourage her when she seems so happy and friendly. And she gets so much postive feedback when she is so affectionate to perfect strangers that she keeps on doing it.
I certainly don't want to squelch her outgoing personality but at some point we will have to have a lesson on appropriate stranger behavior. For now, we will let her continue in her quest for Miss Popularity--but we will have to keep a close eye on her.
