A Dramatic Day 🤭
🎀 The morning started slow and warm.
Babygirl was still tangled in blankets when Mama leaned over her, brushing soft fingers through her messy hair.
“Good morning, sleepy baby.” A grumble came from beneath the comforter.
“No.”
Mama smiled. “No?”
“No awake.”
“That’s unfortunate, because we have plans today.”
Babygirl slowly peeked out. “What plans?”
Mama kissed her forehead. “Coffee shop.”
Babygirl blinked.
“And maybe the toy shop after.”
Now she sat up immediately.
“The one with all the stuffies and books?”
“The very one.”
“You should’ve started with that.”
Mama laughed. “I know, but i like seeing you being dramatic”
After getting dressed, babygirl padded around the room while Mama got dressed and checked her bag.
Snacks.
Water bottle.
Wipes.
And...
“Mama!”
Mama looked up to see babygirl standing in the doorway, cheeks pink.
“What is it, baby?”
Babygirl shifted from foot to foot.
“Mama…”
“Yes, bubba?”
“I think… I need changies.”
Mama’s expression softened immediately.
“Come here, sweetheart”
Babygirl slowly walked over, still looking shy.
Mama gently rubbed her side. “have you got messy bum?”
A tiny nod.
“And you didn't want to tell mama?”
Another tiny nod.
Mama smiled warmly. “Silly bum.”
Little one hid her face against Mama’s shoulder. “Didn’t wanna stop getting ready.”
“Well now we definitely need to stop.”
A soft whine.
“It’ll only take a minute, sweetheart”
Mama patted the bed.
“lay down for me please, bubba.”
Babygirl pouted dramatically while Mama worked gently and efficiently.
“Cold” babygirl complained quietly as Mama used wipes.
“I know, baby, Almost done.”
“Mamaaaa.”
“You’re being very brave, sweetheart” mama gently applies some nappy cream on babygirl
“That’s not helping, mama”
Mama laughed softly.
Once she was clean, Mama slid a fresh nappy into place and helped her sit up.
“All better, bubba”
Babygirl immediately melted into her arms.
“Thank you, mama”
“You never have to be embarrassed to tell me when you need help, okay?”
Babygirl nodded against her chest.
“Okay.”
Mama kissed the top of her head. “That’s my baby.”
At the coffee shop, babygirl immediately spotted the most ridiculous drink on the menu.
“Mama.”
“No.”
“But I didn’t even ask yet.”
“You were looking at it too hard.”
“It has cookie pieces.”
“No.”
“It has whipped cream.”
“No.”
“It has COOKIE PIECES!!.”
“No.”
Babygirl crossed her arms dramatically. “You’re ruining my life.”
Mama ordered anyway.
One latte for herself.
One hot chocolate for her grumpy baby, with extra whipped cream and marshmallows.
When the drink was handed over, bubba stared at it.
“…I forgive you.”
“I thought you would.” mama chuckles as she takes a sip of her drink
The toy shop was full of chaos. Bubba wanted everything.
A purple bunny stuffie.
Sparkly stickers.
A stuffie frog.
A book.
A new blankie.
“Mama, please.”
“One toy.”
“That feels unfair, mama”
“One.”
Babygirl dramatically flopped against Mama’s arm.
“You’re so strict.”
“And yet you still adore me.”
Little one grumbled. Eventually she chose a floppy bunny stuffie and carried it around like precious treasure.
By the time they got home, little one was exhausted and in need of a change. She kicked off her shoes at the door and immediately climbed into Mama’s arms.
“Tired, bubba?”
“No.”
Mama adjusted her arm around little so she could check her nappy. “Oh? Then why are you falling asleep on me?”
“No proof.”
Mama laughed and guided little one up the stairs and into her bedroom. But before laying her down, Mama paused.
“Baby?”
“Mhm?”
“I think we need one more nappy change before nap time.”
Babygirl groaned dramatically.
“Noooo.”
“Yes.”
“I’m too sleepy.”
“I know, sweetheart”
Mama laid her down gently and handed bubba her paci. Babygirl clutched her new bunny dramatically while Mama changed her.
“This is the worst day ever.” Mama smiled. “You got hot chocolate, a new bunny, and a nap.”
“…second worst.”
“That sounds more accurate.”
Once she was clean and comfy again, Mama helped her into soft pajamas and tucked her into bed. Babygirl immediately reached for her.
“Cuddle.” Mama climbed in beside her. Bubba curled into her chest, bunny tucked between them. Mama rubbed slow circles against her back.
“Did you have a good day, sweetheart?” A sleepy nod.
“Even with mama being so strict?” A tiny smile. “You’re still a little mean, mama” Mama kissed her forehead. “And you’re very spoiled.”
“…only a little.”
“Very.” mama kissed her nose playfully Babygirl yawned.
“Love you, Mama.”
“Love you more, bubba.”
Within minutes, she was fast asleep, warm, clean, cuddly and holding both Mama and her new bunny. 🎀
