I wake up to Autumn crying. I look at the alarm clock on the nightstand beside me, its only 6:34. Autumn.
I gently get up, careful not to wake Dawson from slumber, walking into Autumn's room. I change her diaper, since she had crapped it. She holds her arms out, wanting to be picked up. I pick her up, taking her into the living room. Sitting down on the couch, I ask her, "Are you thirsty, baby?"
"Yes, mommy." I get up, leaving her to sit on the couch while I get her some milk. I sit back down on the couch, picking Autumn up, giving her the bottle. She holds it in her hands, gently sucking on the tip. (Oh god that sounded so dirty ugh ignore that)
She falls back asleep after about five minutes, little snores escaping her mouth.
I hear Dawson chuckle, which startles me. I open my eyes to see him standing in front of me, grinning.
"Oh god. What happened?"
"You fell asleep."
"Oh. Oops." Her eyes flutter open, her pupils dialating as she looks at her father.
"Hi, daddy!"
"Hi, cupcake!"
"Mommy, I need a bath."
"Do you wanna take a bubble bath with me, Autumn?"
"Yes!"
"Okay, let's go then!" I pick her up, excitement in my three year old's eyes. We walk to the bathroom, Dawson following shortly behind.
"I've got this," he says, starting the warm bath water. I undress Autumn, pulling off her onsie and taking off her diaper. After I'm done undressing her, I rid myself of my clothing, leaving both of us butt naked.
He adds in the soap to the running water, completing the bath. I step in, picking Autumn up and placing her in my lap.
After we finish, we get dressed, going into the living room to relax.
"Hey, Auttie, do you wanna go to the park?" Dawson asks Autumn, using her nickname.
"Yes!"
We take her to the park. I sit down in the grass while Dawson pushes Autumn on a swing, watching her beautiful face brighten when he pushes her. He takes her out, letting her explore. I hear him say, "Don't go to far, Auttie."
He comes over to me, sitting down. "You're such a great father."
"And you are an amazing mother," he says, kissing my cheek. I watch her climb around the playground, occasionally flashing a smile at her.
After a while, we decide that its a good time to go home. I walk over to the monkey bars where Autumn plays, taking her off of a bar.
"Come on, baby, time to go home."
I place her in her car seat, getting into the passenger seat. "Do you wanna go eat somewhere?" Dawson asks.
"Sure."
"McDonalds?"
"Sure."
We pull into the parking lot of McDonalds, getting out of the car.
We order our too, sitting down at a table once we have it. I place Autumn's food in front of her, opening them up to let her feed herself. She picks up a chicken nugget, sticks it in her mouth, and cringes.
"Mommy, this needs ranch."
"Okay, baby, I'll go get some." I get up, going over to the counter and asking for some, the lady handing me some. I walk back over to the table, handing her the ranch.
I watch her try to open it. She pulls and pulls, grunting. "Mommy! Get this open!"
Dawson chuckles. I open the ranch for her with ease, putting it back on the table.
She dips the other half of he chicken nuggets in the ranch, eating it, saying, "Mmm."
We finish our food, getting back in the car and going home.
Halfway home, my daughter says, "Mommy, I don't feel good. My tummy hurts."
"Dawson, pull over." He pulls over on some side road. I unbuckle Autumn from her car seat, helping her down from the high step. As soon as she's down, she's throwing up into a bush. I hold her hair back. Dawson stands beside me. "Maybe it was a bad idea for her to do all that then eat."
She stops puking, so I clean her up, putting her back into her car seat. "Mommy, before you go back up there, can I have something to drink?"
"Sure, Auttie." I get her some juice from her diaper bag, pouring it into her cup. I give it to her, closing the door and getting into the passenger seat.
