The Runaway (private with Valeria)

[robehouse]

Janice smiles as most of the pins fall over. The man behind the counter smiles as well and gets a small plastic doll and hands it to Valeria.

[valeria]

I smile and clap my hands as i hold the doll after saying "tank you" to the nice man.

[robehouse]

Janice smiled and took Valeria's hand.

[valeria]

"Umm otay mommy i try it" we head over to the face painting set up.

[robehouse]

There was a girl seated at a small table. She looked at Valeria and then at Janice, smiling.

[valeria]

I was shy as i hid behind you alittle as i didn't know what to pick or think of as i looked at the chart that had designs to choose from.

[robehouse]

Janice sees Valeria is being shy.

[valeria]

"Umm puppy" i look up at you as the girl smiled and waited for me to choose.

[robehouse]

"Okay, make her look like a puppy then." Janice told the girl.

[valeria]

I smiled and nodded my head as i sit there looking at the mirror befoe getting off the chair.

[robehouse]

Janice took Valeria's hand and led her back out into the mall.

[valeria]

I shrugged my shoulders as i look around at what there was to do as they had some more little kid games as i point to a water pond with duckies in it.

[robehouse]

Janice looks where Valeria is pointing. She takes Valeria over there and sees that there are rubber ducks. She asks the man next to the game what it was, and he said you paid a certain price and picked a duck. If it had a special number on it you would win a prize. Janice gave the man some money.

[valeria]

I looked at the duckies as i then reach out to pick one and then gave it to the man after.

[robehouse]

The man looks under the duck and smiles.

[valeria]

"Okay mommy" i smile as we then walk around ans play a few more games when i was starting to get sleepy as it was almost nap time.

[robehouse]

Janice sees Valeria is getting sleepy.

[valeria]

I nodded my head as i yawned and rubbed my eyes as i fall right to sleep as you drive us home.

[robehouse]

When they get home, Janice gets Valeria out of the car seat. She carries her into the house and up to the nursery. Janice undresses Valeria and puts her in the crib in just her diaper. She lays her new bear next to her and raises the side of the crib. Janice turns down the light before leaving the room.

[valeria]

I sleep for awhile as simon whines needing to be let out while you get the chores done in the house.

[robehouse]

Janice lets Simon out and does her housework, checking occasionally on Valeria in her crib.

[valeria]

After awhile i start to wake up as i yawn and rub my eyes as i still had facepaint on thats alittle smeared.

[robehouse]

Janice checks on Valeria and sees she is waking up.

[valeria]

"Yesh mommy" i smile and got up as i needed a change as i waited for you to get me out of the crib.

[robehouse]

Janice lifted Valeria out of the crib and took her over to the changing table. She laid her down and removed her wet diaper. She cleaned Valeria before putting a new diaper under her. Janice sprinkled baby powder on her and taped the diaper closed.
