Fearless Franny

Although just fifteen months, Franny seems to be very outgoing and doesn't appear to get intimidated by much. She plays with the big kids, even takes their toys, and doesn't skip a beat. If a bigger kid takes something from her, she'll either take it back or just move on to the next thing. She is pretty well adjusted with that--I have never seen her cry or get upset over losing a toy to another child.



Sunday, she was in true Franny form at the Jamison Square fountain. It was our first time, and we didn't think about bringing toys for her to play with, because we had assumed she would just splash around. But, that didn't phase her--she just made a bee line for the first ball she saw...



And then she moved on to Miles' ball...


Back to the original ball--after a minor battle for possession...



Then, she confiscated a small truck... The owner dumped water on her head--twice--but that was okay...


If we had stayed longer, I am sure this ball would have been her next target...


And of course, don't forget about the main attraction! What fun!


Eventually, I know that we will have to address sharing and respecting other kids' property, but for now, it's fun to see her so confident and having fun playing on her terms. And secretly, I love to see her go head to head with the bigger kid and win!
