We joined Hannah for her Haunted House party today. 

Hannah is one of Grace’s best friends, but being in different schools and different parts of Cape Town means different groups of friends.

Today, for the first time (that I’ve noticed), Grace was shy to meet the other children. She’s been shy about older children, but I can’t think of a time she’s been shy with her peers (although I may be forgetting some obvious times, which Donné will remind me about in the morning).

She was off colour today with a bit of a head cold, so that may have played a role.

I’m okay if she just needs some space to be an introvert at times – I know I need that sometimes too.
