Tita and her son Tomoki were visiting Aki's house, and I was also invited to have dinner together. It's been a while that I didn't meet them, so I wonder how big Tomoki-kun now (he's around one year at that time). When I arrived it was Aki who's opened the door, and at the time Tomoki-kun heard my voice, he started crying.
"It seems that your charm didn't work on boys, isn't it?", Aki was laughing (so far I have no problem with small kids, and even some of them didn't refuse when I hold them around in the first meeting, that's why Aki sometimes think that I use charm :-) )
Anyway, gradually Tomoki-kun began to used to with my presence, so he didn't cry anymore. Tita said that her husband was very busy that Tomoki only had little time to play with his father - the thing that we thought to be the cause of his shyness.
Thinking about it, I and my sister mbak Tini were also shy when we were kids (and still now, I think :-) ), while my brother mas Yudhi and sister mbak Wiwin were very outgoing. I can remember that in my childhood I hardly had time to play with my father (my father was so busy when I was a kid) - seems like the same reason for Tomoki-kun's problem.
I just can hope that Tita can find a way to solve the problem... anyway, I think I would try to spend time as much as possible with my kids (if I have :-) ), and also make them meet a lot of people during their growth, so they won't grow bashful like me... :-)
And more important, I think I should change to a more stronger charm... :-)
