Baby learns a life lesson
Baby's Great Adventure
by davisr (Rhonda)
Okay, there it is again. If I can just get my eyes to focus on it.
Eyes...EYES...focus...great, good, I can see it clearly now.
Hands? Hands, get it together. Come on, it's not that hard. You grabbed a whole handful of mommy's hair just this morning.
Okay, hands are on-board.
Now all I have to do is conquer the roll over. I almost had it yesterday. I can do it today. I am older and stronger.
Do it on three, one, two, darn-it, what comes after two? I knew I should have been paying closer attention to that ridiculous song sister was singing to me. How did that go again?
"One, two, buckle my shoe, three, four..."
Okay, good. It's three. Great, now I'm going to have to start over.
Rock one, rock two, rock three, and over I go to my side.
Yes!
I'm on my side, people. Anyone have a camera? Where's grandma? She's always good for a picture.
Grandma? You're not looking. Fine, I'll do it with no documentation...
Now, where was that orange fuzzy thing I was reaching for?
Good, there it is.
Stretch, stretch, I got it!
Yes!
Soft, so soft.
Owwwwww. Mommy--- Kitty bit me---
Oh, there Grandma is with the camera. Don't worry, I don't need it now. Bad kitty just slashed me.
Waaaa, waaaa.
Ooh, look there's a puppy tail. Hmm...work on that one tomorrow.
