We had our cousins over last night for sushi and cake.
Her Aunts and Uncles tried so hard to play with her and she just didn't want any piece of it. Sometimes she can be a real snob. But in Fa's defense, she hates people in her grill. And for some reason, these particular family members invade her space and happen to get in her face often. She just doesn't know how to say "back off" just yet. And once you let her warm up, she's a pleasure to play with. They just don't allow her that time. Sooooo....
She didn't want to share her toys. She wouldn't play with the girls. She wouldn't even talk to anyone but BD and Myself. Can you all say "attached"? Am I doing something wrong?
She whined a lot and cried because we wouldn't keep the dog out of his crate. The damn dawg won't sit still for two seconds. You can't have company over because he'll burst an artery. So we crated him and she lost it.
Her Aunt and Uncle gave her some very cool games from this company. I never heard of them but the toys are great. She is now playing with this and this at the same time. She can't get enough!
We had cake. But under no circumstances were we allowed to sing "Happy Birthday" or light candles. Snob.

Aw, I think that is normal. The same thing happened w/ Charlie when he was 2.5. My sister and her 12 yo daughter (my niece) came over. My niece kept wanting to hug, hold, caress, rub, pamper him in any and every way. I could see that Charlie didn't like it, but he didn't have the words to say "back off." Finally he just looked at me and started crying in a pleading way, so I took him from her even though it prob'ly hurt her feelings. I think this behavior is normal.
I mean, as adults, we wouldn't expect a total stranger to hug and caress us, right? Yet we expect toddlers to warm up to strangers just because *we* know these strangers, you know?
Don't worry about her being "snobby!" It's all normal!
I'm still chuckling over the sushi and cake thing. Because when I think birthday, it's sushi and cake. You're the hip, stylin' family over there! :)
I think we all have those "snobby" days. So far, there's not alot of people that Aidan won't go to, yet.
::although he does have a mean temper and has NO problem showing it::
hehe sounds like the perfect party! Poor SF, being the center of the attention of not so familiar people has to be rough!
Haba toys are amazing. I have seen some that are soooo neat!
Both my husband and I adore the picture of SF today (he reads your blog too, what a guy eh?)
There's nothing wrong with the kid not liking people all up in her grill. Good for her!!! She isn't old enough to know that you're supposed to be nice to all of these strangers even if you can't stand them.
Also, sushi and cake does seem to be an interesting birthday combination - especially for a child!
