Chance is gaining confidence

One of our neighbors told us that she is understanding more of what Chance is saying. This is great!
We also have new neighbors that just moved in. We had them and another new family in the neighborhood over for homemade ice cream last night. The family who moved in next door, lived near by and made regular visits to check out the progress on their new house. They have kids our kids ages, so when they would come check on the house, our kids got to know their kids. They have all been friends for months now.
As we visited last night, our neighbor told us that when they first started coming to see the house, Chance would not say anything to them. She said as time went on though, Chance became more comfortable and would talk around them. Some kids are just more shy, but part of Chance's reluctance to talk around new people, I believe, has been his lack of confidence that they will understand him. His confidence seems to be growing now. This is a good thing for a mom to witness.
Chance knows where he wants to go and is very perceptive. He has announced to us his parents that he is going to play the guitar some day and that he will play for us and "all the people". Should we start planning for a garage band in our future?
