The Protector

Akins displays the trait of hyper-vigilance which means that he is holding vigil at all times about all things. In some cases it comes off pretty cute. Lorea was with him at Target - giving Mommy a moment of rest so it was just the two of them. They were in the shoe aisle and Akins was in the cart Lorea had walked about 1/2 way down the aisle away and was approached by a sales person. After answering questions about needing any help Lorea walked back to the cart and Akins begins to scold her for talking to a strange man (it was actually a woman) and that it is not safe. Part of this is good because he is getting the concept of stranger danger but unfortunately he does not apply these rules to himself yet will quickly apply them to everyone else. Even still it is pretty cute that he was being that protective.
