Thanks, Saina! She really is shy in big groups and unfamiliar situations, and she needs a lot of warm up time, but we cracked up when she called herself shy.
[...] Anya really enjoys the song about the frogs. I did film the entire show, though she spent most of it with her fingers in her mouth. I always expect but am still bowled over by how different Anya is in a big group like that. She gets so overwhelmed by the amount of people in the room that she completely clams up. A stranger observing her would think she doesn’t talk. Her teacher has commented several times to me about how quiet Anya is – yes, the very same Anya who acts out entire Dora books or episodes with her dolls and then makes up her own stories, the one who NEVER GIVES US A MOMENT’S PEACE at home! What a silly little girl. I guess she was serious when she assured me that she is shy. [...]
