LO saw some kids playing in the neighborhood and expressed interest in going to meet them. We walked over and she said hello and gave her name. I didn't even know she knew how to do that, so I was so proud. She was so sweet introducing herself!

The kids she went to meet were much older, and they basically ignored her. Ugh, it makes me sad to think about. I think next time I may ask them to say hello back so LO doesn't feel rejected. Either way, I told her I was proud of her for socializing and saying hello to the big kids.

Anyway, when did your LO start introducing themselves?
