[robehouse]

"Well that's too bad. In winter you can do fun things, like play in the snow if there is any and drink hot chocolate."

[valeria]

"Mommy i have too go potty"

[robehouse]

"Do you mean you have to poop in the potty or pee?"

[valeria]

"I..i gots to go poop"

[robehouse]

"Okay, let's find the bathroom."

[valeria]

"Tank yoo mommy" i sit there as i go potty til i was all done and tried to clean myself but need alittle help.

[robehouse]

Janice waited while Valeria went potty and then helped her clean up. She put a diaper back on Valeria and put her in the stroller.

[valeria]

"Okay" i relax in the stroller as you head off to another store.

[robehouse]

Janice pushes Valeria through the mall to another clothes store.

[valeria]

I held my teddy close to me as there was alot of people shopping around as i was shy and stayed quiet but was then getting a bit thirsty.

[robehouse]

Janice takes Valeria into the dressing room and tried several outfits on her.when she is done she puts Valeria back in the stroller. Janice gets a bottle out of the diaper bag and hands it to Valeria.

"Here is something to drink In case you get thirsty."

[valeria]

I drink the bottle alittle too fast as i was hungry.

[robehouse]

Janice picks up Valeria and takes the bottle from her. She pats Valeria's back.

[valeria]

I let out a few small burps and had spit up alittle bit from drinking the milk too fast.

[robehouse]

Janice smiles and wipes off Valeria's face and then sets her back in the stroller.

[valeria]

'Okay mommy" i hug my bear as i get comfy in the stroller.

[robehouse]

Janice pays for everything, then leaves the store. She pushes the stroller through the mall and sees a play area.

[valeria]

"i..i guess so" i get a bit shy as there were kids there playing as parents watched.

[robehouse]

"You don't have to worry. If you don't want to play, you don't have to."

[valeria]

I held on to you not wanting to get down as i look at you.

[robehouse]

Janice goes into the play area with Valeria.

[valeria]

I shook my head no as i didn't feel like going on the slide.

[robehouse]

"You don't have to play on the playground. I just thought you might want to."

[valeria]

I held on to my toy as i suck on my thumb as you strap me in to the stroller.

[robehouse]

"Are you getting hungry? We can go to the food court and get something to eat."
