That was the gist of the thought I had this morning. I'd fed him breakfast and popped on an episode of Curious George, then I hopped in the shower. Within 10 minutes, he was inside the bathroom gabbing at me and bopping a punch balloon against the shower curtain. All I could think of was, "Man...he used to watch at least 2 hours of TV in the morning if he could. What happened?" He's 4 years old, and for the last few months he's been all, "Play with me, Daddy!" and "Read me a book, Daddy." What's an anti-social introvert to do?
I've tried to get him into video games. I've bought him action figures. He has every Pixar DVD. I DVR The Spectacular Spider-man twice a week. But still, he seems to crave human interaction. What am I doing wrong? I have it on good authority from my parents that I used to play quietly with my Star Wars action figures for hours at a time when I was 5 years old. Obviously, the proper genes were not passed along.
This is what I get for marrying someone who spent high school doing musical theatre. Apparently that extrovert gene is dominent.
