now that you are up to speed...
i would like to report that i baby beth is alive and well. she's been hanging out at the bottom of the baby basket for the past few months.
today, d and p were out front playing while momma was painting some furniture. d asked me if she could go inside to get some babies to push around in her stroller.
sure, muffin. mamma's down with that. oh- and could you grab one for p because she's going to want one if you have one.
a few moments later d emerged with her own favorite baby doll and... wait for it... baby beth, for p. and while i was slightly injured that it wasn't d's first pick, i was excited that she was making an appearance.
p pushed baby beth around for the better part of an hour. i was stoked. after our playtime, i ushered the girls inside for nap. as we headed for the stairs i reminded the girls that the dolls needed to be put away. both girls obediently trucked up the stairs with babies under their arms (p under my arm). when we arrived in p's room, she went about her normal routine of running away to avoid the inevitable pre-nap diaper change. she stood next to her bed and proceeded to toss her blanket, giraffe, and be-po over the crib rails in preparation for bed. as i was about to reach for her and engage in the diaper changing tackle... my little muffin grabbed for baby beth. yep- then she tried to hurl the big 'ol beloved baby over the side of the bed. momma was happy to help with this task. and so today, my sweet p slept with her normal collection and her momma's favorite dolly. (geesh- it's getting crowded in there!)
when i went in to get her from nap, she was laying her head on beth's belly. snuggling, if you will.
and then at bedtime... well, here. you can see for yourself.
baby beth is making a come back! that's right- she has no place in the "must toss" pile that e may have chosen for her a few years back. watch out- the koosah's next.
