We just love him.<br /><br />This year (or next) you should check out the Let's Pretend tearoom in downtown Grapevine. They do a Nutcracker tea every year - they bring in a local dance group to perform an abbreviated Nutcracker ballet while the little girls have a "real" tea party with tea (or milk) and cookies and little sandwiches, and the girls each get a nutcracker ornament to take home. I did this for several years with my own daughter, who is now too big for tea parties :( , and it was so fun! And the lights stay on the entire time!<br /><br />Merry Christmas to all the Steeces!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14602014607643804189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16582505.post-18436948161863940172009-12-10T07:21:36.765-06:002009-12-10T07:21:36.765-06:00Love it...what a fun and happy time for Mommy and ...Love it...what a fun and happy time for Mommy and the Princess!

We will be playing at the park and if someone else comes, he will stop playing and just stand there and watch. Won't talk, or smile, or play. I think he is just observing, concentrating maybe. Doesn't seem scared. And afterward, he will do or say something that has made me think he was observing the other kids and picking up things. Maybe that's what she is doing?<br />MichelleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16582505.post-46398048644143003072009-12-08T20:13:30.968-06:002009-12-08T20:13:30.968-06:00How awesome is that?!?!!!

Your family is so ...Hi, I love reading your posts. Your family is so beautiful. I have three kids, Lily is 6, Cooper is 4, and Ruby is 10 months. My little Lily is just like Savanah. She clams up big time in public, she has been this way since she was Savanah's age. It has gotten a little better, but she is still completely different at home where she feels comfortable. The best thing we have done to help Lily along is encourage her when we are out and about and she literally closes off. School has been a little tough, but she is getting better. I think the best thing for kids sometimes is just to expose them in order to get them comfortable around other people. Wow, that was forever long when I just wanted to say I understand where you are coming from. :)Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09693845693143796358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16582505.post-38478917109295579142009-12-08T15:25:34.770-06:002009-12-08T15:25:34.770-06:00My 4 year old was shy and wouldn't talk to ANY...My 4 year old was shy and wouldn't talk to ANYONE outside of our house until he was 3 1/2... now... can't get him to *stop* talking to people.<br /><br />My 2 1/2 year old is the super shy one now.<br /><br />The photos of your daughter and her Nutcracker princess are priceless!

You can not pressure her to talk, smile or be more outgoing, she's just got a shy personality. It hasn't harmed my daughter in the least! The only thing I hated was that everyone (even some family members who aren't around frequently) do not get to see her wonderful and beautiful personality that she shows only to those dearest to her. By the way, her brother is the exact opposite too!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16582505.post-60550756339199312622009-12-08T12:18:33.649-06:002009-12-08T12:18:33.649-06:00cutecuteImageine Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00192155007460275332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16582505.post-51775559149680334412009-12-08T11:29:21.059-06:002009-12-08T11:29:21.059-06:00So glad you got to start/continue a family traditi...So glad you got to start/continue a family tradition with sweet lil' Sav.

But when she's in a new situation she likes to sit back and observe and get a feel for the people and what we're doing...and sometimes it takes a good while, maybe even an hour before she starts opening up. Usually when it's time to go home, she's just getting comfortable and then sad we're leaving. She's just an observer...I was, kind of still am, the same way. I think it's just a personality. I've learned to just hold on to her and sit back and observe with her and turn down opportunities for group photos in the beginning or having her go off with other kids until she's comfortable. And by me not forcing her (something I used to try and do), she seems more confident and opens up sooner. I sit back and talk to her and point out people and talk about what they are doing, etc.Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16135983707757089459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16582505.post-20881810102037781022009-12-08T11:11:00.120-06:002009-12-08T11:11:00.120-06:00How sweet!!!!!How sweet!!!!!Andriahttp://andriastanley.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16582505.post-44695878331393437132009-12-08T11:10:49.636-06:002009-12-08T11:10:49.636-06:00So special and so precious!

She looks fabulous and after all she has been through I am glad that she had some fun with Mommy!<br /><br />My two year old is one month younger than Savannah and her brothers. It's the age they are at which is normal to be shy. My shy guy warms up after 15 or 20 minutes. Also how many times is Savannah out and about without her brothers. Not having them with her might make he feel a bit more clingy and shy. It's all normal!<br /><br />Happy Holidays Steece Party of 6!<br /><br />The Cappadona FamilyMomma and Her Doodlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01259361926569391453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16582505.post-74476868878603240772009-12-08T10:32:41.200-06:002009-12-08T10:32:41.200-06:00What a fun memory, and the start of a special trad...What a fun memory, and the start of a special tradition for you two.

She just takes everything in very seriously and won't speak or smile. It takes her a long time to warm up to anyone new and is even quiet around people she knows that are not in her "inner circle". We were so concerned about it that we had early intervention come for an evaluation to see if she had a speech delay and of course, she wouldn't say a word to the evaluator so she qualified for 6 months of therapy (a therapist came to our house once a week). All of that just to determine that she was shy. What we did learn though is that it is best just to let her do what she is comfortable with and not label her around others as "shy" or push her to talk or smile if she doesn't want to. Anyway, long story just to tell you we went through the same thing. <br />What a special afternoon for you and Savannah!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00789296933078020811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16582505.post-48378301604952358262009-12-08T09:11:01.064-06:002009-12-08T09:11:01.064-06:00So sweet.

My little one is the same - she's so excited to go somewhere, talking about it in the car, but when we get there, she's anxious and withdrawn, and she usually wants me to hold her, especially if it's something new with lots of other kids. Sometimes, if there's enough time, she'll loosen up, but other times, we get in the car to leave and then she's a chatterbox again.<br /><br />So if you figure it out, let me know!Mrs. Hopehttp://www.holdmyhope.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16582505.post-21805004336964279632009-12-08T08:59:10.931-06:002009-12-08T08:59:10.931-06:00I guess she just needs the time to warm up, probab...I guess she just needs the time to warm up, probably a good thing.
