Shy-Diapers Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Brent didn't know Sadie had pushed Ellie. "I know it's hard. But Sadie doesn't have any toys of her own really so you need to share yours. She doesn't know how to share yet so you need to be good and share with her until she's used to it here." Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted December 30, 2016 Author Share Posted December 30, 2016 Elise let out an angry growl before falling to the floor in tears. Sharing was a difficult concept to grasp at her age, especially since she had been an only child and didn't spend much time around other kids. She couldn't understand why her mother was being so mean and her father wouldn't help her get her doll back. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Brent sighed and picked his baby up. He held her close and tried to rock her back and forth to calm her down. "I know it's hard." He said to Molly as well. "We're all gonna have to make a lot of adjustments, but pretty soon it'll be a lot easier and we'll be a big happy family." Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 "Yeah, I guess so..." Molly said dubiously. Sadie already had a bunch of doctors' appointments scheduled for the coming weeks, open heart surgery looming in the not-so-distant future, and most likely physical and occupational therapy, all of which would take time away from Elise. Molly feared that wouldn't go over well, especially since they'd just returned from three weeks away from her. "Oh, by the way...one of us really needs to run to the store. We need milk, bread and eggs, at the very least. And diapers. We only have a few left for Sadie, and I think Elise's are too big for her. She'd be leaking all over in those." Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 "I think I'd better do it. Sadie doesn't want anything to do with me right now." Brent said setting Elise down. "I'll just go now, I can grab all those things at CVS." He said not wanting to be gone for too long, especially with Ellie in such a bad mood. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 "Okay, if you don't mind that would be great," Molly said. She knew if she went she'd have to take Sadie with her which was the last thing she wanted to do now, especially since they were a week away from Christmas. The stores would be packed and it would be too much for Sadie to handle. Elise ran after Brent. "Dada, I go! I go!" she begged as she grabbed his pant leg. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Brent sighed. "Okay. But we're going to be quick." He said picking up his daughter and getting her redressed to go outside. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 Ellie bounced up and down in the cart. "I get toy!" she squealed, not really understanding what he wanted. She just heard "toy" and got excited. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Brent sighed and smiled. He pushed Ellie to the section where they had off brand barbies and small to medium stuffed animals. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 Elise had picked an adorable, super soft plush snowman for herself. She hugged it tightly, barely glancing up when Brent spoke to her. "Uhhhh...dat," she said, pointing to a penguin. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 "Good choice sweetheart." Brent said pushing the cart along. He grabbed what they needed as well as a few extra bottles and another thing if formula, wanting to be safe. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 Elise smiled and babbled happily to her new snowman the entire drive home. Molly sat watching Sadie play. She hoped that soon the girls would be playing together like old friends. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Sadie amused herself with the doll for the whole time, finding it fascinating. She eventually crawled into Molly's lap and snuggled up close to her whilst still being entranced by the baby. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 Molly held Sadie close, brushing her hair out of her eyes and talking softly to her, telling her how beautiful she was and how much they loved her. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Brent sighed. He picked Ellie up and squatted down next to Molly. He put the penguin in her lap, smiling. "Ellie got this for you at the store." Sadie backed away a bit in Molly's lap. She didn't wanna be anywhere near Brent. She just didn't trust him yet. She cautiously took the penguin though, admiring its soft plush against her cheek. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 "Oh, look at that nice penguin daddy got you! Say thank you to daddy!" Molly gushed, though she knew Sadie didn't understand. "Can you give daddy a hug?" she asked, moving Sadie slightly towards Brent. "Elise held tight to Brent and glared at Sadie as Brent got closer to her. She eyed the doll, still in Sadie's grasp, and lunged forward, pulling it away while Sadie was distracted by the penguin. She grinned gleefully as she hugged both the doll and the snowman. "Oh, look at that nice penguin daddy got you! Say thank you to daddy!" Molly gushed, though she knew Sadie didn't understand.

Shy-Diapers Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Sadie whined and pulled away, wanting nothing to do with Brent. When the doll was taken from her, she frowned and grabbed it, trying to pull it back to her. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 "But dat mines!" Elise insisted, trying to grab it again but Brent had it out of her reach. She was getting very frustrated by this point, as it was her favorite doll and she couldn't understand why her parents wouldn't give it back to her. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 "Ellie you know better. If mommy had your doll would you take it from her or would you ask?" Brent said calmly. "You don't take things without permission." Sadie held the penguin and the doll close, though she kept her eyes focused on Brent, not wanting him Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 "I have baby?" Elise asked as she reached out expectantly, though it came out much closer to a demand than a question. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Sadie kept a tight grip onto the doll, not wanting it to be snatched away again. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 "It's okay baby, mommy won't let Elise take the dolly," Molly soothed as she held Sadie close. "You know what, I'll take Sadie upstairs play. I don't think either one of them is ready to play nice yet," she said to Brent. "Come on Sadie, let's see what toys are upstairs." She carried Sadie upstairs and set her down in the girls' room. Most of the toys were downstairs, but there was a small bookshelf with some board books and wooden puzzles, a few baskets with some small toys like rattles, plastic keys, finger puppets, and balls in various colors and textures, a drum filled with assorted musical instruments, and a bead maze. There were also the wooden blocks and some stuffed animals. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Sadie kept a tight grip on the doll and penguin. She looked around the room at the few toys there. She knew there were more downstairs, but was still happy with the ones upstairs. She curiously picked up one of the balls and dropped accidentally, giggling when it bounced back up to her. She threw it on the ground this time and clapped when it came back. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 Molly smiled. "You like the balls? Look at this one!" She grabbed a bright blue ball and bounced it, making it light up. Elise was content to sit and snuggle with her father. "Dada, Foe?" she asked, wanting to watch her favorite movie, Frozen. She grinned up at him and started to sing. "You wanna bill a 'nowman?"

Shy-Diapers Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Sadie's eyes went big and she squealed. The ball was so interesting! She smiled and fumbled to grab it as it's Link to comment
