Baby Kenny

Chapter 6

Martha moved her hand over to her husband's side of the bed and felt the space was already cold, she opened one eye and saw that Willem was not in the room. Just as she sat up Willem walked in with a breakfast tray with a full farm house breakfast. He lowered the tray over he lap and gave her a good morning kiss

"Morning Mommy how did my darling wife sleep." Willem asked. Martha let out small laugh and replied, "Like a baby." " Just how long have you been up already?" She redirected the question. I think it might be in the region of about two hours ago. Now eat your breakfast and then your day can also begin, he, teased her."

Just then the bedroom door began to open wider and Kenny crawled toward her on the bed. Kenny was already dressed for his day ahead. Kenny sped up to the bed with an alarming speed.

He climbed onto the bed and crawled around to the middle of the bed and then snuggled in close to Martha. He had a very happy smile on his face as he said," mawwing mommy, baby is happy mommy is now awake. He missed his mommy the whole night and stretched out his arms to show how much she had been missed. "Wow really, maybe baby must show mommy again how much he was missing his mommy." She replied. Kenny was dressed in a cute faded denim coveralls. He had a bright orange onesie with large blue anchor that covered his chest. Martha could see that he was wearing a very thick diaper, it was very obvious when he moved around. He also had a large light green bib around his neck, with lots of pictures of all sorts of transport vehicles

Kenny's new pacifier was attached to his bib by a plastic dummy chain. And to finish the look off he was wearing bright yellow ankle socks, with a cute pair of open leather sandals on his feet. Martha loved the way he was dressed and was so in awe of Kenny's complete oblivious frame of mind with to how he was dressed. Just one look at him and you knew that he was dressed up like a tiny two year old toddler. Kenny was showing her again by stretching his arms apart as far as he could. "Mommy missed her baby just as much as you. But mommy is very happy to see her baby all ready dressed for the day.

Willem came back and collected Kenny, he picked him up and once on his hip he turned to look at the bubbly little tyke. "come let us not disturb mommy now, she has to finish her breakfast, and then must get ready for her very busy day.

Kenny waved to Martha as Willem carried him out of the room. Willem placed Kenny in the play pen "You play here for a while so that daddy can get everything together that we are going to need for the day, when we go and visit grandpa and granny." With that for the next thirty minutes he had everything all packed in one stack right next to the door.

Martha by then had dressed and applied a very light amount of make up on. "babes we are all ready to leave the moment mommy is ready." Willem told Martha. Martha replied "honey please don't forget the big stroller for the baby." It's already packed in the bakkie my love,", I just have to pack up the playpen."

Martha went to get all of Kenny's bottles of juices and his ba ba, when she saw that Willem had already done it. "She looked at Willem and said "its seems to me my love that you have everything under control. Perhaps daddy can start loading everything by the door, then we can get going." With in the next ten minutes

Willem had packed everything in the bakkie. He walked out the house carrying the collapsed play pen which he quickly loaded. Martha came out carrying Kenny, she opened the door back passenger door and placed Kenny in his booster seat. She strapped him in and then she herself climbed into her seat next to the driver. Daddy climbed in and started the engine, took his sunglasses from the visor above his head, turned to look at Kenny and then said " off we go then," and drove down their driveway and were very soon heading into town."

Kenny was looking all the other cars and their occupants as they drove past them. There were a couple of families with children in their cars that were very curious at seeing Kenny sitting in a booster seat and that he was wearing a bib and sucking an overly large pacifier. But for the most part nobody really cared.
