JJ's Buddy

JJ's friend TB has two adorable kiddos (JB and EB - and a wonderful wife BB). They live upstairs from us and we have begun to spend more time with them. At first JB (age 2) was scared to death of JJ. This is a very unusual occurance for JJ. Kids usually flock to him. In Church, for example, he's usually in a stare down from some kid over a parent's shoulder. One time when we were visiting the B's, we just entered the house and JB started bawling. Poor thing! When she settled down, JB and I were chatting (at times with the help of translator mommy). She was showing me her new baby and wanted to give me a better peek, but I was sitting by JJ and so she made a WIDE path around any time she was near us on the couch. We believe this whole thing started when JJ came to get TB to go to class and was dressed in his full winter get-up - basically covered from head to toe. Not to mention that his visit resulted in JB's daddy leaving. So anyways, to help JB get over her fear of JJ, TB and BB gave JB a pic of JJ to get her used to him. NOW, the opposite has happened. NOW, she has a little crush on JJ. After giving her the picture, it was time for lunch and BB told JB she had to put the picture down, to which she replied, "Not my JJ!"
