Sorry sorry sorry! I drove back to Kirksville today, so the posting of Monday’s With Bella got a bit delayed.
Here we go :)
I had this big plan of printing off a picture of Sara’s face and making it into a mask to wear when I go to get Bella out of bed……then I realized it would probably just scare the crap out of her. So this Monday I walked in to her room and decided I was going to leave absolutely no room for “you’re not my mama” moments. I immediately opened her blinds and started talking about the snow and asked her if she wanted to take a bubble bath. We also needed to run to my apartment to grab my cell phone & I knew she would be excited about seeing my fish.
don’t ask me why I have fish….it’s a long story.
Anyway- I told her we could go see the fish. After I bombarded her will all these suggestions, she was so excited to get up and get going. We had no “you’re not my mama” melt downs.
I felt like I conquered the world.
Sara had warned me that Bella was possibly getting sick and might be a bit tired & cranky, so I let her just hang out in her PJ’s till about 10:00. She was actually quite the opposite of what her mom thought she would be. She was running all over the place, dancing, being silly, singing her abc’s, etc.
Then She decided to situate herself on the couch to read her magazine (or her daddy’s magazine). I don’t even know how describe how funny she was while she was doing this. Hopefully the pictures will help.
Then she ate her Nutrigrain Bar with a shovel
Then we decided to take a bath because she didn’t get one on Sunday night. Plus the warm bubble baths always help when their all stuffy, tired, coughy, etc.
Oh man I love it when they’re all cozy in their towels after baths, smelling like baby magic, all clean with no snot or crusty stuff on their face. Then add a lady bug towel to the mix and they are beyond cute :) Me on the other hand…not so cute. No make up and no shower= only putting half my face in the picture.
After her bath we went to my apartment and grabbed my phone. Then I decided to go to the gallery and let her run around for a bit. I hadn’t been to my favorite store in a while (anthroplogie) and she was wanting to run & be silly. Then we made it home just in time for lunch, coloring, dancing, calling papa multiple times & nap time. Here is a picture of Bella enjoying her favorite food group: Hot Dogs.
Now I’m off to finish my editing from my Valentine’s Day shoots on Saturday. Hopefully it goes quickly because I’m slllleeeeppppy…………
Night night :)
