The Runaway (private with Valeria)

[robehouse]

Janice sighed but drove to the store anyway. She got Valeria out and led her into the store. She put Valeria in a shopping cart and looked for backpacks. She found the children's backpack aisle and picked up a pink one with Minnie Mouse on it and Purple one with Winnie the Pooh on it.

"Which of these do you want?" Janice showed both of them to Valeria.

[valeria]

I wouldn't look at the backpacks as i rather be home watching tv as i wasn't gonna give on that easily about school even though i liked the winnie the pooh backpack.

[robehouse]

Janice sighed. She looked at both backpacks and slipped the Winnie the Pooh backpack in the cart and put the other one back.

"Since you didn't want to choose, mommy chose for you."

Janice went through the checkouts and paid for the backpack. She took Valeria out of the cart and took Valeria to the car along with the backpack. She put Valeria in her seat and then put the backpack next to her. She got in the car and drove home.

[valeria]

I toss the backpack to the floor of the car as i was mad that you signed me up for school as i sit there pouting.

[robehouse]

Janice looked in the mirror.

"I guess someone needs a time out when we get home."

[valeria]

"No! time out me hate school" i pout as we get home as polly was just getting home from taking simon for a walk.

[robehouse]

"I'm sorry you don't like school baby, but you have to go to school."

Janice parked and got Valeria out of the car. She took the backpack and went inside the house. She smiled at Polly.

"Well, I have her enrolled and she starts tomorrow. She isn't very happy about that."

[valeria]

Polly nods a bit as she says "well im sure it will go fine tomorrow when she goes they will get her adjusted for her first day"

[robehouse]

"I hope so. She is in a pretty bad mood right now. She didn't even want the backpack I bought her."

[valeria]

Polly: "lets just give her sometime alone and maybe she needs a nap or something hopefully she would be better after it."

[robehouse]

"That's a good idea."

Janice takes Valeria up to her room. She takes her dress and shoes off and puts her in the crib for a nap.

"Mommy will be back later."

[valeria]

I pout as i didn't want to be in the crib as i go and try to climb out of it so i can go watch tv.

[robehouse]

"Don't even think about getting out of there,

[valeria]

"NO! me no wanna stay me no tired me no need nap" i whined and fussed as i still tried to climb out anyway.

[robehouse]

Janice came over and gave Valeria a swat on her bottom. She laid her down and covered her up.

"When mommy says it is nap time, It's nap time."

[valeria]

"No nap me no sweepy me want tv" i yelp as it hurt feeling you swat my bottom as i cry a bit

[robehouse]

"Just close your eyes and rest then. How about I read to you?"

Janice gets a book off the nursery book shelf in the nursery and sits down in a rocking chair. She starts reading to Valeria.

[valeria]

I was frustrated as i didn't want a story read to me as i wanted to get out of the crib as i wanted to watch cartoons.

[robehouse]

Janice kept reading softly to Valeria, looking up at her occasionally. Once she finished, she put the book back. She stepped out of the room, hoping Valeria would go to sleep.

[valeria]

I wouldn't go down for my nap as at this point i didn't care as i didn't feel tired since i just wanted tv and my room didn't have a tv in it.

[robehouse]

Janice went out to where Polly was.

"I'll leave her in her crib for another half hour at least to see if she'll fall asleep."

[valeria]

Polly nods in agreement as you both just relax and talk as i still haven't napped yet.

[robehouse]

Janice sits at the table drinking ice tea talking to Polly. She keeps an ear out to hear if Valeria gets up.

[valeria]

I sigh giving up on trying to get out as i sat there awake in the crib.

[robehouse]

After awhile Janice came up to check on Valeria. She came up to the nursery and smiled at her.

"Did you get any sleep at all?"
