….well, if you are a baby, you ignore them and choose something completely surprising to fall in love with instead.
Meet “Just Bunny”. He’s a 12″ tall, skinny, hairless, eyeless, white country bunny that my cousin threw out 14 years ago. Jack-Evan found him back in January and hasn’t let go since.
Here’s a video of the happy duo upon the commencement of their love affair. This was taken at the end of January when Jack was approaching 9 months old (he’s currently almost 11 months!).
Each night, as Jack-Evan and Just Bunny lay down to sleep, I tell a continuing bedtime story saga about Just Bunny and his brave, noble friend named Jack-Evan who sets out on a quest to find the little hairless bunny some new fur. Currently, Jack-Evan and Just Bunny are in the woods, witnessing the birthday party of Fairy King Minos the 15th.
Jack-Evan, for the most part, ignores the story (preferring instead to munch happily on a board book), but at the end of tonight’s imagined chapter my husband, Kevin, suddenly spoke up and said…
“Aww, why do you have to stop at that part? Can’t you make it a little longer tonight?”
