Like most toddlers, Sprout doesn't like strangers. Strangers are defined as anyone she sees less than once/week. For example, she goes to school once a week. If Miss Jamie leaves early and someone else takes over, she meets me at the door with all of her stuff, ready to run out the door. If Miss Jamie works the entire day, I have to drag her out of the place.
Unfortunately, Uncle Kory falls into the stranger category... Until now. This evening we were watching a crop duster (Sprout loves airplanes) when UK showed up with a big tub of raspberries. Initially she gave him the stink-eye until I handed her one of the raspberries. After that, well, she had a new best friend. She managed to cram 5-6 berries in her mouth at a time until we finally had to leave to put her to bed. Well played Uncle Kory.
Uncle Kory's next trump card: the water park at the YMCA. Stay tuned for an update.
