Twenty-six

Juniper

The little girl that I simply adore is happily sitting with me while we have a little snack. We're snuggled up on the smaller couch just happily enjoying our show and munching away.

"Mommy ?" Twy asks me as she looks up at me with her big and beautiful green eyes.

"Yes , lovebug ?" I ask her. She has the softest and sweetest look in her eyes.

She giggles , god , she's cute.

"Can we do something ?" She asks me softly , as if she was afraid to ask me.

I smile at her , "Of course , little one." She lights up with joy , "What do you want to do ?"

I watch as the furrows her brows together , thinking. "Uhmm.. I don't know ! What can we do , mommy ?" She asks me , excitement laced in her voice.

Now it's my turn to think , we could play outside , in the pool , I could get her some of her toys and I could play with her , we could color... OOH , that's a good idea.

"You wanna color ?" I ask her. Instantly her eyes widen and she throws herself on top of my legs , now straddling me and bouncing up and down like a maniac.

"'ES , I wanna color wif you !" An adorable giggle follows after her words , and I match her smile that goes from ear to ear.

"Okay , lovebug." I laugh out. Scooping her up in my arms and carrying her towards the entry room , she giggles the whole way.

"Mommy , where are we going ?" She asks me as she buries her face in the crook of my neck.

"Getting so coloring supplies , baby." I tell her , and her grip tightens around me. I bring her to the shelf we intend on moving into her room ; the shelf is filled with both adult and children's coloring books , markers , colored pencils , crayons , and gel pens galore. Sometimes Bel will color with me when I'm in my subspace and just need attention. 

Putting her down , she carefully leans down and takes a look at her options. "Pick any one you would like , lovebug." I tell her with a smile and she nods softly. 

"Why do yous have so many coloring books , why ?" She asks , looking up at me with big , curious eyes. 

I smile at her. "Because mommy and daddy color together sometimes." I tell her , and she nods. 

She rifles through the different books for a while , eventually landing on a mythical creature kids coloring book. 

"Can we do dis one ?" She asks , holding up for me to see. God , she's cute. 

"Of course , baby." I tell her with a smile on my face. "Pick out some things for us to color with." 

"Wight !" She says , her baby voice is adorable. She's the sweetest.  She picks up the bucket of colored pencils and the pack of gel pens. 

"Good job , baby." I tell her as she stands up , her arms now full. "Let me take this , its heavy." I grab the bucket of colored pencils from her , and we begin walking back to the living room. We set down our stuff , and I sit on the floor with my legs crossed. "You gonna sit down , lovebug ?" I ask her , as she is standing still , just awkwardly staring at me. 

"Um... Mommy ?" She asks me quietly. 

"Yes , baby ? What's up love ?" I ask her , now a little confused. She was fine two seconds ago ?

"Um..." She says , rocking back and forth on her feet. "Can I's go potty ?" 

My face immediately softens , oh , sweet girl.
