However around 6pm I started to feel better which is a good thing. Especially since the boyfriend has his little girl for the next few days and they are going to be staying with me.
Around 6:30pm the boyfriend arrived with his cute little two year old munchin. It had been a couple of weeks since we last got to have her due to her daddy's work schedule (which included lots of overtime), and because of the fact that I've been not feeling so well.
Anyways so they arrived and the minute they walked in the door I felt great. My two loves besides my immediate family arrived to spend time with me. I felt my the coldness of my heart and my health fade into warmth. If I could have looked in a mirror and seen myself I would have probably seen a grin 12 parsecs wide.
The little munchin was so happy to see me that she couldn't take her eyes off of me. So I spent the evening with a little 2 1/2 foot shadow trailing me. There was no escape. "Hi! Hi! Hi!" She kept saying until she found the new knects building block toys she found in her toy bin. Then it was "Elmo! Elmo!" She handed me the box to open. I dumped the contents onto the living room floor and she was so excited. She picked up knect Elmo's head "Elmo!" Then she picked up cookie monster's head "Cookie!".
I assembled the figures for her and watched as she gave them each a hug prior to dragging Elmo off to the toy kitchen set.
She grabbed a cup, a plate, and a spoon. "Mmmm.... A bite?" She asked Elmo and started to feed him.
I thought I was free to sneak out for a cancer stick, but alas it was no good. "Going bye-bye?" The little munchin asked. I realized that trying to sneak away was to attempt in vain.
It didn't matter. I love the little girl so much that I put the cigarette out of my mind and instead went to go fold and put away some laundry. She followed.
She jabbered up a storm pointing out the bed, the pillows, the shirts, and anything else she knew the word to that she saw. It cracked me up. Hearing hearing the phrase "pillow shirt" defiantly made me wonder what it would look like if pillows could be worn in place of an old fashioned t-shirt. Strangely the vision of one of those sumo wrestler suits came to mind, but instead of being a regular sumo it was a leopard print sumo since that is the design of said pillow.
As soon as I finished putting the laundry away I walked over to the large closet and grabbed a plastic grocery bag I had been keeping there. "What's that?" The munchin asked as she had followed me yet again.
"It's a present for you. You like presents don't you?" I asked.
"Oooo Oooo" She said as she lifted up her little arms.
I reached into the bag and pulled out a care bear. Cheer Bear to be exact. I handed it to her and squealed in glee. "Care Bear!" She shouted before continuing to squeal. She ran out of the bedroom and I followed behind. She ran into the living room Squealing in delight the whole way.
"Wow, little girl. Why are you so excited?" her daddy asked.
She showed him the new care bear and gave it a big hug and a kiss.
"Care bears?" she asked looking around. I pointed to the toy bin.
She rummaged through all the way to the bottom and produced her other 2 care bears. She was still squealing.
Eventually the squealing stopped and she started to rub her eyes.
"Are you ready to get in your pajamas?" Daddy asked.
She shook her head no asked for more juice. Juice denied and she threw a temper tantrum and collapsed to the floor whining.
I asked her if she wanted her jammies and she once again declined and went to attempt to hide in the corner.
The little munchin usually loves getting into her jammies and in fact usually tells us when it's nighty-nite and walks her self to the bedroom. Tonite was different.
"Do I have to come and get you? I'm going to get you!" I came after her and she started laughing. Eventually I caught the little bugger and managed to get her undressed after torturing her with a few belly lows first. Though, I don't know if its considered torture if the subject is giggling. hmmmm.....
Finally she was all ready for bed. "Are you ready for nighty-nite now" Her daddy asked.
"Nighty-nite!" She said happily and walked to the spare room where her bed is kept.
Epic Fail! The bed was not set up and ready to go. The boyfriend quickly set to getting it ready while I lured the adorable little shit out of the way.
We went and got all three care bears which she managed to hold onto all by her self and started to walk back to the bed room.
"Watcha doin'? We have to wait on daddy. He's not done setting up your bed yet." I told her.
She paid no heed and went to the bedroom anyways yelling all the way there "Come on Daddy!"
Finally everything was ready to go and one by one she threw her care bears into bed. She gave us good nite hugs and kisses and the boyfriend swooped her up and put her into her bed.
"Kitty?" The munchin asked.
I told her I'd go get it. I asked her if she wanted her puppy too and she said no.
I went and got the kitty and moments later was back with it and handed it to her. She smiled then frowned.
"Puppy?" She asked.
"Seriously child? I just asked you if you wanted your puppy and you said no." I told her.
"I'll get it." Her daddy said and went to get it.
"Really? Seriously? I asked if you wanted your puppy and you said no." I told her.
She cracked a crooked grin and smirked.
I HAD BEEN PLAYED..... BY A TWO YEAR OLD! How embarrassing is that? Really? How could I have been so stupid!
Finally she was ready and nodded her head off to the side. The boyfriend and I told her we loved her as we shut off the light and closed the door. I chuckled.
"What's making you giggle?" The boyfriend asked.
I explained that she wasn't too tired that she merely forget to say yes to wanting the puppy, but that I was played.
"That's my girl." He said and laughed as we went out to the living room. Despite the embarrassment I laughed too.
