The Runaway (private with Valeria)

[robehouse]

Janice rolls the ball a few times.

[valeria]

"I don't know i guess so why"

[robehouse]

"I thought you might want to get away from the house for awhile. We spend a lot of time at home."

[valeria]

"Umm okay mommy"

[robehouse]

Janice gets Simon's leash and puts it on him. She takes Valeria and Simon out to the sidewalk and starts walking, holding Valeria's hand and the leash.

[valeria]

I stay close to you while we go on a walk as simon sniffs around.

[robehouse]

"Let me know if you get tired of walking and I can carry you or you can ride on Simon."

[valeria]

"Okay mommy" i look up at you as we keep walking on the path as i then look around a bit.

[robehouse]

Janice walks slowly down the sidewalk so Valeria can look around and Simon can get a walk in too.

[valeria]

I was starting to get tired from walking but i didn't make it noticeable so that you wouldn't have to carry me on the way back.

[robehouse]

Janice sees a bench on the way and stops.

[valeria]

"Yeah" i smile as i try to climb up on the bench to sit down on it.

[robehouse]

Janice helps Valeria to get up on the bench and sits down next to her.

[valeria]

"Yesh pwease mommy" i look up at you as simon sits down next to the bench.

[robehouse]

Janice opens the diaper bag and takes out a bottle of milk . She picks up Valeria and puts her lb her lap. Janice gives Valeria the bottle.

[valeria]

I suck on the bottle as i cuddle in your arms and felt relaxed.

[robehouse]

Janice cuddles with Valeria and smiles at her while she drinks her bottle.

[valeria]

I smile as i hold on to you as i finish my bottle of milk.

[robehouse]

Janice takes the bottle as Valeria finishes her milk.

[valeria]

"Yesh mommy i ready to go home" i try to get off the bench by myself but have alittle trouble getting down.

[robehouse]

Janice picks up Valeria and holds her on her hip and takes Simon's leash and starts walking home.

[valeria]

I smile and snuggle in your arms as we head home from our walk.

[robehouse]

Janice cuddles with Valeria on the way home. She opens the front door and goes in. She lets Simon off the leash and sets Valeria on the floor.

[valeria]

"Okay mommy" i waited for you to take me to the nursery room and get me changed as simon went to lay down on his bed.

[robehouse]

Janice takes Valeria's hand and takes her to the nursery. She gets Valeria undressed and lifts her onto the changing table, fastening the strap around her. She takes off her wet diaper and throws it away then cleans Valeria with baby wipes and slips a clean diaper under her. She sprinkles baby powder on her and tapes the diaper closed. Janice lifts Valeria off the changing table and gives her a hug. She carries her over to the dresser and looks through the tee shirts. She pulls out a white one with a teddy bear on it and puts it on Valeria.
