π The morning started slow and warm.
Babygirl was still tangled in blankets when Mama leaned over her, brushing soft fingers through her messy hair.
βGood morning, sleepy baby.β A grumble came from beneath the comforter.
βThatβs unfortunate, because we have plans today.β
Babygirl slowly peeked out. βWhat plans?β
Mama kissed her forehead. βCoffee shop.β
βAnd maybe the toy shop after.β
Now she sat up immediately.
βThe one with all the stuffies and books?β
βYou shouldβve started with that.β
Mama laughed. βI know, but i like seeing you being dramaticβ
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.
βI thinkβ¦ I need changies.β
Mamaβs expression softened immediately.
βCome here, sweetheartβ
Babygirl slowly walked over, still looking shy.
Mama gently rubbed her side. βhave you got messy bum?β
βAnd you didn't want to tell mama?β
Mama smiled warmly. βSilly bum.β
Little one hid her face against Mamaβs shoulder. βDidnβt wanna stop getting ready.β
βWell now we definitely need to stop.β
βItβll only take a minute, sweetheartβ
βlay down for me please, bubba.β
Babygirl pouted dramatically while Mama worked gently and efficiently.
βColdβ babygirl complained quietly as Mama used wipes.
βI know, baby, Almost done.β
βYouβre being very brave, sweetheartβ mama gently applies some nappy cream on babygirl
βThatβs not helping, mamaβ
Once she was clean, Mama slid a fresh nappy into place and helped her sit up.
Babygirl immediately melted into her arms.
βYou never have to be embarrassed to tell me when you need help, okay?β
Babygirl nodded against her chest.
Mama kissed the top of her head. βThatβs my baby.β
At the coffee shop, babygirl immediately spotted the most ridiculous drink on the menu.
βBut I didnβt even ask yet.β
βYou were looking at it too hard.β
βIt has cookie pieces.β
βIt has whipped cream.β
βIt has COOKIE PIECES!!.β
Babygirl crossed her arms dramatically. βYouβre ruining my life.β
One hot chocolate for her grumpy baby, with extra whipped cream and marshmallows.
When the drink was handed over, bubba stared at it.
βI thought you would.β mama chuckles as she takes a sip of her drink
The toy shop was full of chaos. Bubba wanted everything.
βThat feels unfair, mamaβ
Babygirl dramatically flopped against Mamaβs arm.
βYouβre so strict.β
βAnd yet you still adore me.β
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 Mamaβs arms.
Mama adjusted her arm around little so she could check her nappy. βOh? Then why are you falling asleep on me?β
Mama laughed and guided little one up the stairs and into her bedroom. But before laying her down, Mama paused.
βI think we need one more nappy change before nap time.β
Babygirl groaned dramatically.
Mama laid her down gently and handed bubba her paci. Babygirl clutched her new bunny dramatically while Mama changed her.
βThis is the worst day ever.β Mama smiled. βYou got hot chocolate, a new bunny, and a nap.β
βThat sounds more accurate.β
Once she was clean and comfy again, Mama helped her into soft pajamas and tucked her into bed. Babygirl immediately reached for her.
βCuddle.β Mama climbed in beside her. Bubba curled into her chest, bunny tucked between them. Mama rubbed slow circles against her back.
βDid you have a good day, sweetheart?β A sleepy nod.
βEven with mama being so strict?β A tiny smile. βYouβre still a little mean, mamaβ Mama kissed her forehead. βAnd youβre very spoiled.β
βVery.β mama kissed her nose playfully Babygirl yawned.
βLove you more, bubba.β
Within minutes, she was fast asleep, warm, clean, cuddly and holding both Mama and her new bunny. π
