Joey is at a super friendly age now. It doesn't help that she is already by nature a super friendly girl. So, you can imagine how she would sprint away to kids around her age when she sees them.
That day, we brought her to Terminal 3, and she saw a bunch of kids playing. Without any hesitation at all, she ran towards them, and started to laugh together with them & chase after them. Whatever the kids did, she followed suit, and she just merged into the group without a tinge of shyness. The kids looked at her weirdly at first, but soon accepted the little girl into their games. Amazing how fast she can make friends!
Just today, I bought her to Central, and she saw a little boy playing with his cars, and she immediately ran to him, sat down next to him and played with his cars! I tell you, the poor boy looked alittle shocked. But Joey was totally non-chalant. (Check out the pics.)
When we are out, and she sees some people pass by, she will sometimes call them 'Uncle!', or 'Auntie!'. When we take taxi, she would say 'Hello' to the driver or 'Bye Bye' when we alight... She even waves enthusiastically to buses when they drive past... sometimes, I see amused passengers looking at her waving..
I guess it's good that at this age, she is not self-conscious at all and not hindered by any mental barriers at all when making friends. To her, the whole world is her friend. But I must admit, it is sometimes a headache for me, cos I got to keep watch on her and pull her away quickly when she gets over-friendly, lest she scares the other kids away. =P
