But David is almost always a well-behaved and respectful child. While he can be pretty shy around strangers, he always seems pretty open and outgoin... around me. Thats probably why it seemed a little odd to me when his usual relaxed – even playful – mood around me seemed to change to the quiet, shy mood he generally reserved for strangers.
