I have to say... I was sooo proud of Jackson last night. I went to my little 6 year old cousin's little league baseball game and I always bring Jackson. There were a ton of younger kids (2-4) wandering around as their big brothers played ball. Jackson did GREAT with all of them. He willingly went up to a few of the kids, and allowed these little kids to be petting him, I asked the kids to give him some treats too and he lovingly took them from the kids! Yay!
I had posted in the other 'kid' thread that he's always been shy around kids. Never aggressive, barky, or snappy or anything. He's 1.5 years old and the only kids he's ever really LOVED are my halfbrother (6 yrs) and halfsister (2 1/2). He will let the 2 1/2 year old do anything to him and he could care less, etc.
But I just wanted to say how proud I was, that he was so friendly last night! Even to adults. He went up to a few adult women and let them pet him willingly. Wow, I was totally surprised. I knew he'd been getting better with his shyness -- but last night was definitely a breakthrough. |
