Shy-Diapers Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Alison squealed and ran to her room to get a hairbrush and little rubber bands. When she came back down she pushed a chair next to the high chair and started brushing Emme's hair. Link to comment

Shy-Diapers Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Alison soon discovered that Emme's hair was too short for braids, so she just made a bunch of little pony tails instead, being thrilled someone would let her do her hair since Sadis was too young and Elizabeth never sat still.

justagirl4fun Posted October 10, 2015 Author Share Posted October 10, 2015 "That's quite the hairdo you have there," Luke said with a laugh as he finished his pancakes. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Alison beamed with pride. "I like her Daddy!" She squealed happily and reached over to give Emme a hug. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted October 10, 2015 Author Share Posted October 10, 2015 Emme stiffened as she felt Alison's arms around her, and tried to push her away. "Whoa, easy there. I don't think she's quite ready for hugs yet," Luke warned his oldest daughter. "She's not used to it." Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 "Oh. Okay!" Alison shrugged. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted October 10, 2015 Author Share Posted October 10, 2015 "She might go play with you, though," Luke suggested, as Emme had finished her oatmeal. Then he stood up and headed upstairs with Elizabeth, knowing what the fidgeting meant. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Alison smiled and had Julia get Emme out of the high chair and in the living room. Alison sat next to her and smiled from ear to ear. "Hi! I'm Alison." Elizabeth was grateful that she was going to get out of the itchy pull-up finally, but more so that she was spending time with Luke without Emme ruining it aagain. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted October 12, 2015 Author Share Posted October 12, 2015 Letting Alison do her hair with Luke by her side was one thing; being alone with the girl was something else entirely. With Luke out of sight Emme began to shut down, sitting perfectly still and quiet, refusing to make eye contact with Alison. Upstairs Luke got Elizabeth out of the wet pull up and wiped her off with a couple of wipes before helping her into a pair of panties and picking out some clothes for her. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Alison looked at Emme confused. Why wasn't she looking at her or moving? "Are you okay?" She asked not really thinking that she wouldn't understand her. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted October 14, 2015 Author Share Posted October 14, 2015 Emme continued looking away, her breaths becoming shallow and rapid as her anxiety grew. Who was this girl, and why was she talking to her? And where did her Baba go with that other girl? Was he coming back? Luke sighed. "I...I suppose so." He was still jet lagged and exhausted, and wasn't sure he was up to chasing the girls around the playground, but if it kept Elizabeth happy he would try. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 "MaMa, I think there's something wrong with Emme!" Alison called to the kitchen. When Julia came into the room she knelt down and tried to calm Emme down. "Shh it's okay. You're okay sweetie." She knew the girl wouldn't understand her, but hoped her soft tone would help until Luke returned. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted October 14, 2015 Author Share Posted October 14, 2015 While he was upstairs Luke got dressed and ready for the day, then joined the family in the living room. "Everything okay?" he asked when he saw his wife with Emme. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 "Daddy she won't move!" Alison said before Julia could answer. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share Posted October 15, 2015 "It's okay, that's how she gets when she's scared," Luke said as he reached down and picked Emme up. "She'll be fine in a minute." He sat down on the couch with the girl on his lap, and within a few minutes her breathing had returned to normal. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 "I didn't mean to scare her Daddy." Alison apologized. She had just wanted to play with the toddler. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share Posted October 15, 2015 "It's okay, it's not your fault. She's just not used to being around new people. But I bet if you get the blocks out she'll play with you, as long as I'm here." Luke knew Alison might think the blocks were a bit babyish, but after almost 3 years of spending most of her time in a crib, or an over-crowded playroom with few toys, Emme was overwhelmed and confused by anything more than the simplest of playthings.

Shy-Diapers Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Alison thought the blocks were babyish, but she was happy to have a playmate. She ran upstairs and returned dragging a big bag of colorful wooden blocks behind her. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share Posted October 15, 2015 "Look Emme, let's play with the blocks!" Luke said cheerfully when Alison returned. He sat on the floor with Emme on his lap and started stacking some blocks. Soon Emme was doing the same. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Alison smiled and started stacking blocks to make a chair. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share Posted October 15, 2015 Luke sighed but shifted Emme to one knee to make room for Elizabeth. The last thing he wanted was another spat between the two. Once Emme had about 10 blocks stacked she knocked them over, giggling as they scattered across the floor. Then with a sly glance she knocked over Luke's tower and eyed Alison's creation. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Elizabeth started stacking the blocks making w castle. Even though she felt too old for the babyish blocks. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share Posted October 15, 2015 Feeling brave, Emme reached over and knocked over Alison's chair, then destroyed Elizabeth's castle. She clapped her hands and squealed before starting to build another tower. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Alison laughed and started stacking blocks on top of Emme's tower. Link to comment
