Yesterday in church Jillian ran into nursery with friends and I didn't realize that she had her baby doll with her. When we went to the car to go home she started crying about leaving her baby. I assumed I had it in my purse. When I realized I was wrong, we went back inside only to find out that it had been locked up with all the other toys and the women with the key had left. Jillian's bottom lip began to do its trembling pout and her eyes filled with tears.
"But Mom, my baby has to go to sleep in her bed."
Jillian LOVES this baby doll. She will not play with any other. She brushes its nonexistent hair. Reads the baby stories and sings her songs before she goes to bed. Jillian pushes her in the stroller, wraps her in her blanket, tickles her, etc. The baby doll does everything with her! My heart nearly broke when I saw Jillian's face as she realized we could not bring baby home with us. As the day went on I thought Jillian would perhaps begin to play with another baby doll. No. Instead my daughter now has an imaginary baby doll. Didn't see that one coming. It is really quite funny.
I can't wait until Sunday when I can witness them reuniting!
Haha, ok Merrily, you did catch me! I'll try to write at least one blog post.
ReplyDeleteMore importantly, did Jillian get Baby back??
Yes she did! They gave BIG hugs and things are now back to normal with Baby!
