My son loves connecting with our cabin neighbors

My Social Butterfly

Every year, I enjoy watching the beautiful array of colorful butterflies that flutter around the cabin property. Last summer, however, a new kind of butterfly flit about our cove – a social one named Trevyn.

Though my high-energy kindergartener was often gregarious back home, there was something about the cabin that amped up his outgoing demeanor a notch more. It was behavior I couldn’t really identify with, because I was painfully shy as a kid. If I waved to a neighbor, it was with my eyes averted and my chin touching my chest. Trevyn, on the other hand, loved to look everyone squarely in the eye and greet them with a firm handshake and a friendly “hello.”

So, last year when someone new moved into our cove, Trevyn took notice. He and I were down at the lake when he saw the new neighbor, Mr. Kosovec, docking his boat after fishing.

Trev set off in a flash, screaming, “Be right back, Mommy!”
