🎀 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.
“That’s unfortunate, because we have plans today.”
Babygirl slowly peeked out. “What plans?”
Mama kissed her forehead. “Coffee shop.”
“And maybe the toy shop after.”
Now she sat up immediately.
“The one with all the stuffies and books?”
“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.
Mama looked up to see babygirl standing in the doorway, cheeks pink.
Babygirl shifted from foot to foot.
“I think… I need changies.”
Mama’s expression softened immediately.
Babygirl slowly walked over, still looking shy.
Mama gently rubbed her side. “have you got messy bum?”
“And you didn't want to tell mama?”
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.”
“It’ll only take a minute, sweetheart”
“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.”
“You’re being very brave, sweetheart” mama gently applies some nappy cream on babygirl
“That’s not helping, mama”
Once she was clean, Mama slid a fresh nappy into place and helped her sit up.
Babygirl immediately melted into her arms.
“You never have to be embarrassed to tell me when you need help, okay?”
Babygirl nodded against her chest.
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.
“But I didn’t even ask yet.”
“You were looking at it too hard.”
“It has COOKIE PIECES!!.”
Babygirl crossed her arms dramatically. “You’re ruining my life.”
One hot chocolate for her grumpy baby, with extra whipped cream and marshmallows.
When the drink was handed over, bubba stared at it.
“I thought you would.” mama chuckles as she takes a sip of her drink
The toy shop was full of chaos. Bubba wanted everything.
“That feels unfair, mama”
Babygirl dramatically flopped against Mama’s arm.
“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.
Mama adjusted her arm around little so she could check her nappy. “Oh? Then why are you falling asleep on me?”
Mama laughed and guided little one up the stairs and into her bedroom. But before laying her down, Mama paused.
“I think we need one more nappy change before nap time.”
Babygirl groaned dramatically.
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.”
“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.”
“Very.” mama kissed her nose playfully Babygirl yawned.
Within minutes, she was fast asleep, warm, clean, cuddly and holding both Mama and her new bunny. 🎀
