(I don't know what she's pointing at, honestly.

"Are you serious?" Kim asked.

[Shy-Diapers]

"Of course. And we can paint it any color you want if you don't like the light blue." Sarah said.

[Ishigreensa]

Mike picked her up and took her to the window to sit with her.

"Do you like it?" he asked her.

Kim nodded at her new mom.

"Mommy?

[Shy-Diapers]

Elizabeth kept pushing down on the cushion feeling it's squishiness. She looked out the pretty Windows and smiled. She nodded and pointed to Mike again. Mike always said he loved her, so she thought she should say that she liked him too a lot as well. She giggled and sprawled out on her back, her head in her new Daddy's lap.

[Ishigreensa]

"Oh, the diapers I was fighting earlier?" she asked.

[Shy-Diapers]

"It's okay. And you're not a baby." Sarah said. "Why don't you watch TV or something while I check on your clothes?" She said heading to the laundry room.

[Ishigreensa]

Mike pulled her over and kissed her head instead twice, then he finally kissed the moose.

[Shy-Diapers]

Sarah tossed Kim's clothes in the dryer. "We'll go to he store in about 45 minutes when you're clothes are dry so long as Elizabeth is in good shape." She said to Kim before peeking in on Mike.

[Ishigreensa]

"Well, what would you like to play?" Mike asked her.

He just nodded at Sarah not wanting to let Elizzie see her peeking in at them at the moment.

[Shy-Diapers]

Elizabeth looked around her room. It was pretty empty at the moment. She'd never played much before. She just climbed into Mike's lap and pointed to him, assuming he'd pick something.

[Ishigreensa]

Kim nodded happily.

"Mommy, it's okay if you don't get everything.

[Shy-Diapers]

"We'll see. If we can't get some things then we can get them at a later date." Sarah said looking over the list.

[Ishigreensa]

Mike went really slowly because he wanted her to feel like she could play this game.

[Shy-Diapers]

Elizabeth was doing okay when Mike was going painfully slow. She still had trouble remembering what to do next though. She was moving her hands pretty well, but wasn't speaking any of the rhyme.

[Ishigreensa]

"You won't be mad if I can't call him daddy yet?" she looked up at Sarah.

[Shy-Diapers]

"Of course not. Just like I'm not mad you didn't want to call me Mommy at first." Sarah said.

[Ishigreensa]

Mike laughed and suddenly picked her up and hugged her.

"It's okay, honey.

[Shy-Diapers]

Elizabeth looked down shyly. She didn't know it was just for laughs, she'd never experienced anything like that before. She held her moose close and let Mike hug her. She put her hands on the window and looked outside at the grass. It was so pretty.

[Ishigreensa]

Kim ran over and hugged her.

"Thank you, mommy," she said then took the clothes from her hands.

[Shy-Diapers]

"Why don't you go get dressed in your room?" Sarah offered. She grabbed a big canvas bag from a hall closet, and put some water a few little snacks and set it by Elizabeth's room. She motioned to Mike to let him know it was a diaper bag for her. She wasn't sure if the girl might space out while at the store. "Kim's getting dressed." She said just loud enough for him to here.

[Ishigreensa]

Mike shook his head.

"Later, honey.

[Shy-Diapers]

Elizabeth wasn't too happy hearing about having to go back in the car after getting carsick earlier. She nodded though, not wanting to get in trouble saying that she didn't want to go anywhere. "Kitty sweater?" She asked. At least if she had to get in the car again, she'd be able to have the things that comforted her around her.

[Ishigreensa]

Kim put her shoes on.

Mike stopped long enough to get her favorite sweatshirt.
