not a people person

A few weeks back we were told that in nursery Haris does not talk much to anyone. They can hear him talking to himself (!) whenever he is playing (on his own!!). He doesn't like to play with the other children, he keeps very much to himself...

So anyway today when we (that would be me and Sarah) went to pick him up at the nursery, we walked into the 2-3 room and there was this group of little people playing together, going round and round the table. And where was Haris? He was lying down on the floor a distance away watching the kids at play but made no move to join them. He jumped up as soon as he realised we were there and was ready to go. The carer said he still wouldn't play in a group, he sometimes would play in pairs but tends more often than not to keep to himself. 

And we have this little boy at home who talks and talks and jumps about and does everything but stay still. He plays with Sarah and even when she is sleeping wants to be next to her. When there are other children he will end up sort of playing with them , more because Sarah would be playing with them so it would seem as if he is as well but in actual fact he is only playing with his big sister. 

Shy? Doesn't seem like it

Anti-social? Like the mother? Well, he is only two, what is my excuse? :)
