Miss N finally decided I'm OK -- at least, for now!


I used to flirt with her when she first started coming to our church, and for a while she and I got along swell

But after a while, she wasn't sure what to think about me, and I never could get her to shake my hand during the passing of the peace

Last week, however, I did get a handshake from her after church

So I tried again this week and then pushed my luck: first, I got the handshake, and then I asked her if I could picked her up. She nodded yes, so I picked her up

She must be about two now

maybe she just passed some developmental milestone regarding strangers: her grandpa says she's become more outgoing suddenly
