Too Funny

I find it hard to strike up conversations with people, and I also love it that my daughter will talk to anyone, anytime, anywhere when she's with me. Most people respond wel and seem to be genuinely touched or amused.

I've always been super shy - socially anxious, almost - as well, and I love that our son (who is five also, haha) is the same way as yours, except he doesn't even wait for them to speak first. I've been trying to instill in him a reasonable level of caution, because he'll do the same as yours - he'll tell ANYONE our names, ages, etc, etc haha - and I just want him to remember that he does need to be careful of how much he tells people (they don't need to know where we live or that daddy is gone all night at work, for example). But I do hope that he stays this confident, I know exactly what you mean. The idea of speaking to anyone growing up scared the heck out of me, and I don't want that for my son. :)
