My Jennifer


Peep kiss!

Our friend Jennifer is one of Juniper's very favorite people. Whenever Jennifer comes over, Juniper wants to sit next to (or on) her, play with her, tell her stories, and generally be as close to her as possible. We know several people named Jennifer, and Juniper calls her "my Jennifer" when she needs to distinguish her from the other Jennifers.



Unfortunately, Jennifer usually sees Hazel in the evenings, shortly before bedtime, when Hazel is at her grumpiest and is least interested in hanging out with anyone other than Mom and Dad. There have been several occasions where Hazel looks suspiciously at Jennifer and then starts crying (or when Jennifer picks her up, and Hazel then looks stricken).



But last Sunday evening, Hazel and Jennifer had a delightful time together! Jennifer played the very fun game of tickling Hazel with her hair and was treated to the smiles and giggles that those of us who hang out with Hazel when she isn't tired take for granted. It's fun to watch Hazel just starting to learn who are the important people in her life.



No connection to Jennifer, but since this post has the Peeps kiss, it seems appropriate to include this shot of Juniper discovering the sugar at the bottom of the Peeps box.
