Our Poor Tessa Girl!!!!
I know Tessa stands out here with her blond hair and big blue eyes, but I really don't get the Japanese culture when it comes to kids. Whenever we go out, especially this weekend, our poor baby gets bombarded by strangers. They are constantly in her face (breaking the personal space boundaries) . Or grabbing her hands (which drives me nuts because, hello, she puts her hands in her mouth constantly and I don't know where their hands have been. I use Wet Ones wipes nonstop... I know paranoid mom!). And the really topper that makes DJ and I go nuts, they try to take her out of our arms. Who does that? Would you ever go up to a stranger and try to take their baby to hold? It is like we need to hide her in our jacket.
This weekend alone was crazy. Just going to the games we had the entire section staring at us and probably 5 people taking pictures of Tessa (no exaggeration). Then I had two different crazy ladies try to take her out of my arms. Then when we went to Oktoberfest and she had people taking pictures of her again and touching her. Finally, while we were there I think she had had enough. At one point, 4 people came and surrounded DJ and Tessa. They were in her face and she started screaming. It was so sad :( So I decided that she is going to where this shirt everywhere we go now...
