Scary Baby

On several occasions I've seen other children get very anxious around Baby J. Kids older than her mostly. I think it has something to do with how uninhibited she is. She has the disposition of a golden retriever, you see - in your face, playful, a bit overbearing. I'm not sure if this is a personality quirk or just something typical of the age but Baby J has no quams about walking up to a complete stranger and trying to shove both her hands into their mouth. Or trying to peel their lips apart to inspect their teeth.

I think other kids sense Baby J's lack of boundaries and find it unnerving. Sometimes a kid will get brave though, try to stand up to her. He'll look stern and say, "go away," or push her down. This only upsets his mother and makes Baby J laugh. It's a bad scene all around.

Maybe I should take Baby J to a dog obedience school.
