Kaidus Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 "A watched pot never boils and Maddie needs a change" Grace says while getting Maddie into her arms to be taken upstairs for a change. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share Posted October 15, 2015 As Grace's back is turned, Lilian slips out of her chair and toddles to the pantry. Peering inside, she finds an opened box of Teddy Grahams and helps herself. Link to comment
Kaidus Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Grace returns and sees what Lilian is doing; Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share Posted October 15, 2015 Lilian just smiles and bats her eyelashes, knowing Grace can never stay mad when she gives her that dimpled grin, before handing the pack to Grace to open it for her. Link to comment
Kaidus Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Grace knows she can't stay mad at Lilian, even if she didn't do the eyelash-bat and opens the packet of Teddy Grahams for her. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share Posted October 15, 2015 With a bit of difficulty Lilian climbs back in her chair and holds her hand out for the cookies. Link to comment
Kaidus Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Grace lays the open bag into Lilian's hands so she can have her snack to tie her over until dinner. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share Posted October 15, 2015 As soon as they returned to the kitchen Maddie reached for Grace, wailing hungrily. Link to comment
Kaidus Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Grace has an idea that she hasn't done for a while and is hesitant to try it now since Maddie's cutting teeth: she attempts to nurse Maddie. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted October 16, 2015 Author Share Posted October 16, 2015 Maddie immediately settled down when Grace offered her a breast. She latched on and suckled greedily, pausing only occasionally to take a few quick breaths. Link to comment
Kaidus Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 "Bubby's okay, thank you" Michael tells Lilian politely declining her offer to a cookie, but gives her a kiss on her cheek. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted October 16, 2015 Author Share Posted October 16, 2015 After napping for almost an hour Willow woke up and wandered into the kitchen. "Mommy, is dinner ready?" she asked, trying to climb onto Grace's lap even though she was still nursing the baby. Link to comment
Kaidus Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 "5 more minutes sweetie" Grace answers while noticing Willow wants up in her lap as well; "I'm sorry, but mommy's nursing right now." Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted October 16, 2015 Author Share Posted October 16, 2015 Willow frowned but settled for climbing up on her brother's lap. Link to comment
Kaidus Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Michael holds Willow and gives her a kiss; Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted October 16, 2015 Author Share Posted October 16, 2015 "Yeah, but I can't read all the words, Bubby," Willow admitted. Maddie sat calmly in the highchair, content now that her belly was at least partly full. Link to comment
Kaidus Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 "I'm more than willing to try again to help you" Michael offers while continuing to cuddle with Willow. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted October 16, 2015 Author Share Posted October 16, 2015 (Maddie's only 9 months old, she'd probably just eat baby food) "Mom says I can do it tomorrow, since it's Saturday," Willow said to her brother as she waited for her mom to serve her. "But you can help me then." As soon as her food was in front of her, Lilian started picking it up with her fingers and shoving it in her mouth. "Lil, you're supposed to use your fork," Willow reminded her. She put the fork in her little sister's hand and, wrapping her hand around it, attempted to bring the fork to Lilian's mouth but Lilian pushed her away and threw the fork before returning to doing it her way. "Mom, she's not doing it right!" Link to comment
Kaidus Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 "That's a good idea" Michael says coming to the same conclusion their mother did; "That way you can continue with a fresh mind; I'll be your tutor on the matter." Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted October 16, 2015 Author Share Posted October 16, 2015 (Oh, I thought you referring to Lilian earlier, not Maddie.) Lilian had been working on using a fork and spoon with her occupational therapist, but given her poor fine motor skills and lack of coordination, she found it easier to just use her fingers. She attempted to use the fork like her mother said, but the food kept falling off before she could get it to her mouth. Slamming the fork down and shoving the plate away, she began to cry in frustration. Link to comment
Kaidus Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Seeing Lilian frustrated makes Grace decide that it's best to feed her like she was with Maddie before Michael had to take over. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted October 17, 2015 Author Share Posted October 17, 2015 (it doesn't matter. just from now on, Lilian eats regular food and Maddie eats mostly baby food, though Link to comment
Kaidus Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 "Willow, please don't fight with me over this now" Grace says in frustration not in the mood for any more arguing today. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted October 17, 2015 Author Share Posted October 17, 2015 "But it's for her own good," Willow muttered under her breath before digging into her dinner. Having a full belly from nursing before dinner, Maddie got about halfway through her jar of strained carrots and started turning away when her brother brought the spoon to her lips. Link to comment
Kaidus Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 "I heard that" Grace says while continuing to feed Lilian. Link to comment
