So considering Kevin and I are not huge fans of people, we are really confused why and how Emma is such a people person. She just loves people. Isn't scared of strangers at all. Which her teachers and I have tried to have the "stranger danger" talk and she's just not accepting it.
Last week her and I went to the grocery store where we met Jerry. Jerry is just some random elderly man, Emma decided to talk to while we stood in the lunch meat section of the grocery store. She said "hey do you know my name?' Jerry said "no, what does it start with?' She said "E". He said, "Is it Emily". She said "no silly, it's Emma". The conversation went on from there as I tried to come up with a plan to allow this nice old man to escape. When I finally got away, I needed a few more things to get and I actually scoped out the different isles to determine which isles would be the safest to go down. Meaning the isles with not many people for Emma to strike up a conversation with. I know. She just wanted to talk, but if I let her talk to people as much as she wanted... it would take me three hours in the grocery store!
A few days after the usual grocery indicent, Emma and I went to the YMCA to sign her up for soccer which she was absolutely thrilled about. While the girl took us in the back to get Emma's uniform, there was another lady sitting at a desk looking at the computer infront of her. Without warning or anything Emma walked right up to her and hugged her. Didn't say a word, just hugged her. The lady looked at me as if to ask "should I know who this little girl is hugging me?" All I could say was "I'm sorry, she just really likes people." The woman realized Emma was just being friendly to a total stranger and said "well you just made my day". Emma said "why? where you waiting for me to come give you a hug?" So ofcourse the conversation went on from there until I had to practically drag her out and told her we would see the woman some other time.
