I give myself a big stretch as I roll over to my belly and fall asleep again, what felt like 5 minutes later Lynn was rubbing my back waking me up, I open my eyes and roll back to my back groaning as I looked up at Lynn who was looking down at me smiling.
"Good Morning Annie! It's time to get up!" She says softly as she lifts me up and lays me on the bed I couldn't see Mum or the animals around, I lay there while Lynn dresses me and then we head downstairs and find Mum in the kitchen preparing breakfast.
"Good morning Annie!" Mum says smiling taking me from Lynn's arms.
"Did she finally wake up?" Mum asks
"No, I had to wake her up once I was ready for the day."
"Aw no! She must have been tired, I've already fed the dogs and cats, and the rabbit, and let the dogs out cooked breakfast so all we need to do is tend to the horses then we can come back for breakfast." She tells Lynn, who nods in reply. So we head out to the barn as per the routine I was put into the pack n play that lives outside, I play with the toys that are inside that while Mum and Lynn change rugs and feed the horses, then turns them out apart from Fred and Tolo, once that was all done we headed back inside and ate breakfast well I had my usual bottle, after that I watched Lynn and Mum clean up after breakfast then after that we headed back out to the barn, Mum and Lynn grabbed Fred's and Tolo's halters, and tying them up outside their stalls, they got to work grooming the horses, and tacking them up.
Lynn then leads the two horses out of the barn while Mum goes to fetch the special baby carrier she uses when I go riding with them, she straps me onto her chest and then heads outside closing the barn and taking Tolo from Lynn, Lynn mounts Fred first then Mum leads Tolo to the mounting block and mounts Tolo, once they were both ready, stirrups sorted, girths checked and happy in the saddles, they set off, a nice leisure ride. Chatting together and enjoying the movments from the steeds below us, enjoying each others company, we had a mooch around the village in a loop, we stayed in a walk and eventually about an hour or more later we arrived back at the yard, Lynn dismounts Fred and leads Tolo to the mounting block where Mum climbs off Tolo, they then take the horses in the barn and tie them up, Mum takes me out of the carrier and places me in my playpen, she threw the carrier over to the store room and helped Lynn to untack the horses and turn them out and then we went back inside to have a shower, Mum jumped in first while Lynn watched me and then Lynn jumped in while Mum watched me, after that we all got dressed in nice clothes and headed downstairs, I got strapped into my pram and we headed out again, Mum and Lynn walked down the driveway and along the country lane pushing my pram after a few minutes we arrived at a bus stop and stopped to wait, eventually the bus came and we got on, my first bus ride! Theo pram jolted, trees flew past outside the windows, a cold breeze blew in from the open windows, I watched as everything passed by outside while Mum and Lynn talked, eventually we arrive at our destination and Lynn helps Mum get my pram off the bus, we walked along the busy street of the town and visited a few shops, I looked around for a bit and it was so boring for me which caused me to fall asleep. But Mum and Lynn had a fun afternoon together, visiting different shops, spending a fortune and looking at things while I had a nap.
After lots of shopping, Mum even got me a few things aswell, we went to a restaurant to have dinner, I woke up about half way through as I was hungry.
"Oh Annie's awake"
Mum said as she looked over at me, she pushes her plate away from the edge of the table then unstraps me and picks me up, she cradles me as she grabs my bottle and offers it to me, I suckle slowly looking up at Mum. Lynn carries on eating, when she finishes she takes me from Mum and feeds me rest of my bottle so that Mum can finish her meal, I look up at Lynn while I finish my bottle, once finished Lynn cuddles me while we wait for Mum to finish, eventually she finishes and pays for their meals then we get up and get ready to go, I'm strapped into my pram and the ladies put their coats on and pick up their handbags, Lynn grabs the handles of my pram and we walk out of the restaurant, they decide to walk along the gardens to the other end of the town towards home then we jump onto the bus, I can't watch out of the window this time because it is dark outside now, so instead I watch Mum and Lynn talk to each other and take photos, then before we know it we arrive at our bus stop so we get off the bus and walk along the country lane back home, once we arrived home, we went straight into the barn, my pram was parked next to my pack n play, while I watched Mum and Lynn sort the horses out, making their teas, bringing them in and changing rugs then collecting the buckets after the horses were done, we headed inside, Lynn let the dogs outside while Mum took me upstairs to our bedroom and lay me on her bed while she ran the bath, Lynn then came upstairs and undressed me, and carried me to the bathroom, once the bath was ready Lynn knelt down and gently put me into the water, I jump at the feel of the water and then smile,
'I like this!' I thought to myself
Lynn held my head up above the water while letting my body float in the water, they watched me as I enjoyed the feel of the water around me,
"She loves that!" Mum says
"I can see that! Look how happy she is!" Lynn replies, Mum covers my legs as she takes a few photos and then she lifts the drain and lets some water out, once I hit the bottom of the bath Mum plugged the drain again, with Lynn still holding my head up Mum bathed me, rubbing the baby soap all over my body which then got rinsed off with the water, next Lynn carefully sat me up, her hand supporting both my back and head, her other hand holding my legs so I don't slip, Mum comes round and gently washes my hair, using baby shampoo, then she gets a jug and fills it up with water, putting her other hand over my eyes as a shield she poured the water over my head to wash off the shampoo she did that until all the shampoo was gone, once I was soap free Lynn lifted me out of the bath and placed me in Mums arms who was holding a towel out, she wraps me up and carries me through to the bedroom laying me on the bed so she can dry me, once dried she put on some PJs and then we all went downstairs and sat on the couch, turning the television on as Mum joins her and smiles at me
"Oh don't you look all beautiful and clean now!" She says as she rubs my cheek with her finger, they watch a movie snuggling together, I'm cuddled in Lynn's arms between them, the dogs are cuddled up together on the dog bed, the cats are no where to be seen, probably upstairs.
After a while I start to fall asleep, I allow my tired eyes to close while I cuddle into Lynn's jumper.
