Shy-Diapers Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Cara smiled a little and crawled back into her bed, not having changed out of her pajamas when she was dragged up to play. "Hoshey!" Abby squealed happily knowing Sean was the only one capable of playing horsey with her. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 "Cara decided to take a nap," Sean said to Emma before getting down on all fours to play horsey with Abby. "She looked pretty tired this morning, hopefully she'll feel better when she wakes up." Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 "Okay, did you talk to her? Or do you think she'll be okay through her nap?" Emma asked rubbing Colleen,s back soothingly. Abby shrieked and squealed as she jumped up and down while Sean got on all fours. She grabbed her little step stool from the bathroom and brought it over. She carefully climbed on the stool and then Sean's back, bouncing up and down to get him to move. "Gid up!" Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 "I'm sure she'll be fine for an hour or two. I was going to say something but I didn't want to embarrass her in front of this one," Sean said with a nod towards Abby before taking off across the room, bucking and neighing wildly.

Shy-Diapers Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 "Okay, in case we need them, we have plenty of clean sheets after doing laundry." Emma said. She smiled at Colleen as she giggled. "If you'd like, I'm sure Uncle Sean wouldn't mind giving you a turn next." Abby held on tight to his shirt collar and shrieked and laughed wildly as she was taken all around the room. Link to comment

Shy-Diapers Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 "Okay, good idea. I completely forgot that that would be a good idea for her bed." Emma said mentally scolding herself. "No!" Abby declared to Colleen. "He my hoshey!" She laid down on his back, still holding his shirt. She was the only one she ever saw getting a horsey ride from him since her sisters were to big and Molly was too small. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 "Abby, you have to take turns," Sean scolded. "You can ride a few more minutes and then Colleen gets to take a turn." Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 "But you my hoshey! You always only my hoshey!" Abby said getting upset. "You just started hoshey! Coween wait for hoshey." Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 "Abby, you're not the only one that gets to play horsey. Erin and Cara did when they were little, and now Colleen can too. Now get off and let Colleen have a turn. If you let her go and wait patiently you can have another turn after." Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 "But you said few more minutes!" Abby cried. She crawled off Sean's back and flopped down on the floor. "You said Coween not wittle. So why she get wide?" Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 "She's still small enough to ride on the horsey, and she gets to go now because you're being selfish. Remember what we talked about this morning, how you have to be nice to Colleen? You weren't being very nice just now." Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Abby frowned and sat up against the wall sadly. "I try be nice!" She said starting to cry. She still didn't understand the whole sharing thing even with how much her parents drilled her for it. She just didn't get it yet and didn't like getting in trouble for what she didn't do, or more correctly what she didn't think she did. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 "Abby, stop crying and wait nicely and you will get another turn," Sean said. "Come on sweetheart," he said to Colleen and helped her climb on. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Abby frowned. She got up realizing she had to go potty, but her parents were too busy with Colleen. She ran to the bathroom and, instead of using her small plastic potty she sometimes did when nobody could help her, she tried to be a big girl and use the big potty. She pushed the lid up, but struggled with her pull-up. "Having fun Colleen?" Emma asked happy that the girl as having some fun. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 "Yes! I like the horsey!" Colleen said and giggled as Sean galloped around the room. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Emma smiled. "I'm glad you do! Do you want your moose too?" She asked holding out the stuffed toy to her. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 "Yes, Maple wants to ride too," Colleen said and grabbed the stuffed animal her father had bought for her on his last business trip to Ottawa, just a few weeks ago. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Emma smiled and sat back down. "You doing okay horsey?" She asked worried about his back after the rides. Meanwhile in the bathroom baby had been able to get her pull-up and skirt off so she crawled up onto the potty, but her bottom fell in and she was stuck there in an uncomfortable position as she started going potty. Usually she had someone with her to help her from falling in like this. She wanted to call out for Sean, but he was with Colleen, so she just started crying softly hoping someone would get her.

justagirl4fun Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 "I think the horsey is ready for a break," Sean said and let Colleen down gently. As he got to his feet he heard crying coming from the bathroom and went to investigate. "Whoa, what happened?" he said as he got Abby unstuck. "Why didn't you call for mommy or daddy to help you?"

Shy-Diapers Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Emma smiled and brought Colleen on her lap. "Looks like you were having fun!" "I tried be big girl and use big girl potty by myself, but I got stuck!" Abby cried, hugging Sean as tight as she could. "Mommy and daddy busy. They wif Coween and tell me shtop cwying."

justagirl4fun Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 "Yeah, Uncle Sean is fun," Colleen said as she snuggled back into Emma. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Emma smiled and rubbed her back. "I'm glad." "I tell you! I try be nice! I thought I am be nice!" Abby said sadly. She honestly thought she was being nice to Colleen since she wasn't doing anything her sisters were. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 "You didn't want to let Colleen have a turn. That wasn't very nice. That was selfish. I know you like when mommy and daddy only pay attention to you, but right now we'll have to spend a lot of time with Colleen too. It's not because we're mad at you, or because we love her more, but she's scared and sad and needs a lot of help. We need you to be patient and not get mad when we do things with her, okay?"
