Maddux: Social Ease Personified

Lehr and I comment on it very often: Maddux is so social able, aware, and competent. We know she didn't get it from us, so we're baffled. Once again this week she proved that she knows how to handle herself in social situations, without any help from us.

We were at the pool and Maddux was playing with her friend, Davis. She saw an acquaintance from school (Mac) playing in the baby pool alone. After a moment she made her way over, chatting and laughing with Davis the whole way, and entered the baby pool as she said, "Mac, this is my friend, Davis. He's a goofball." (She and Davis were being especially silly that day.) So calm, so nonchalant, so easy. She knows how and when to introduce people in the most perfect way....all of that even with a mom who is slightly socially inept.
