baby's first altercation
Apr. 26th, 2010 08:08 pmSo I guess today was the first time another kid made Juniper cry... a similarly-aged baby at playgroup sort of groped her in the face. She was initially fine with it and I hung back just seeing what would happen and then it got a little more pokey and the other baby's mother came over to intervene and Junie turned to me and there was maybe ten seconds of tears and trembly lip before I distracted her. Hardly a major event, but the reason I take her to playgroups is to experience other kids, so, go Juniper starting to navigate the murky waters of social interaction. Now I get to look forward to the first time she makes some other kid cry, which I expect will be rather more uncomfortable for me as the parent.
