Parents' Weekend Meet & Greet, Town Park [Friday Afternoon]

Barney was smart and had purposefully blocked all outgoing mail from Fandom to his New York City (sorry, no luck for you, Robin) and so could blissfully oversee the gathering of guests, students, teachers, and townies happening in the park. The day was bright and sunny, regardless of what any weather reports might claim.

The Student Council had done a nice job getting things together to greet the visitors. A wide variety of sumptuous food was spread out on long tables at one end of the park. In the center were plenty of comfortable blue and gold tables and chairs perfect for sitting, chatting, and eating. To the other end of he park was the registration table where visitors could sign in and pickup their name tags.

Just above the registration area was a gaudy banner announcing the start of a calm and relaxing weekend. Okay, a weekend where Barney got a lot of popcorn to listen to radio.
Welcome to Parents' Weekend 2009!

"I know how to hold babies," Jaina assured her, carefully taking Juliet into her arms. And she did actually look pretty comfortable with it.

Even if this was one of the weirdest things ever.

"I didn't, until I had one," Rory admitted. "They say you're supposed to hold them like footballs, except I don't have the faintest idea as to what to do with one of those."
solo_sword: (well then)

"I've seen those on television. Babies move and people tend not to tackle you when you're holding one," Jaina replied. "I've known Ben since he was a couple days old."

"How old is he at home for you, now?" she asked.
solo_sword: (hmmm)

She had to think about it. "Three? I haven't seen him since he was a baby, though."

"Awww. I've only met the one here," Rory admitted. "I bet he was a sweet baby, though."
solo_sword: (casual)

"He was. Not much to say, though." See, she could make jokes.

"Juliet's terribly chatty," Rory noted.

Juliet was not. She was totally trying to grab Jaina's hair.
solo_sword: (long hair)

"And active," Jaina said, trying to move her head to keep her hair out of the baby's grasp. And failing. Because it was an awesome image.

Rory tried to keep from laughing. "She likes you."

"She'd better, she's still got my hair," she pointed out. Which was to say Jaina hadn't made her let go yet.
