Self conciousness

Sometime during this year, Abigail became self concious about getting changed in public places such as the swimming pool deck. She was taught this partly by Por Por but was getting modest already. Por Por taught her to hold a towel around herself as she got changed, and Abigail would do this even in the change rooms. Of course she has been having her privacy in the toilet for a long time before this, but now she locks the shower cubicle door to prevent Priscilla from helping her with her shampooing.

Once at Heather's party when all the little (pre-school) children stripped off for their skinny dipping, Abigail remained in her singlet and underpants.

Has become more selective and stylish in her choice of non-school clothes (few opportunities are embraced for fancy/pretty stuff, even just to do craft).

She doesn't like to stand out/have different things from others in her class/school eg. knitted scarf, school apron colour, rain poncho in school colour instead of yellow or Dora. Of course the hair ties and long socks are like other kids'.
