Bonding

I was out sick yesterday, so I was down and in bed for most of the day. Not that I was able to sleep or rest much because Jeanne, when she’s not playing with Steph, would come around and play with me. But no, I’m not complaining.

Later in the afternoon, I took her with me for a quick foray into the grocery. I wasn’t able to buy everything I needed because she got bored sitting on the cart and wanted to walk around. She even helped push the cart. It was slow going so I decided to cut short the trip as I still wasn’t feeling too well.

Michelle was off with her officemates for a night out again so Jeanne and I were with each other from about 8:30PM onwards as Lola and cousin Steph had to go sleep. We played till she eventually got tired/bored. She wanted milk so I prepared a bottle which she drank quickly.

Apparently the milk reinvigorated her because she still wouldn’t sleep. Even with the light already out, she went back to playing with her toys and books. She only stopped when she was startled by what sounded like a shot. She cried and hugged me and wouldn’t let go till she fell so soundly asleep that she didn’t even wake up when Michelle arrived.
