My baby

29

I had started to run her bath water as she was kicking her legs continuously while she was on the toilet. I had wiped her and flushed the toilet and took her clothes off. She had started to plat with the bubbles as I washed her body.

Mariah-does King have to take a bath, mommy?

Yn-yea and I do too, so we can be clean

Mariah-we go to daycare today?

Yn-where are you getting these big words from and no, unless it stops raining

Mariah-awe

Yn-*wipes a bubble on her nose*

Mariah-*laughs*

She had started to show off her dimple as she smiled while I had wiped bubbles on her nose. I had wrapped a towel around her body and let the water out. I had went into her room, dried her body off and put lotion on. I had gave her a t-shirt, some underwear, and sweat shorts to run around in.

Yn-King, come take a bath!

King-no, mommy!

Yn-*goes into his room* what did I say?

King-*laughs*

Yn-*grabs him*

King-no mommy!*laughs harder*

Yn-*takes his clothes off* so you want to be dirty?

King-yes

Yn-well, my kids not gon be dirty, my kids gon stay clean

King-not me*laughs*

Yn-*washes him* does daddy let you be dirty?

King-yes*cricket smile*

Yn-He better not, cause what if you want a girlfriend

King-imma get a girlfriend

Yn-but don't you have to be clean and smell good?

King-I dunno

Yn-of course you don't, but you go learn. And imma teach you how to love

King-I know how, mommy *wipes bubbles other cheek and laughs*

Yn-*does the same* so do you cheat on a girl--

King-yes!

Yn-no you don't, does Jaden cheat on me?

Jaden-no, and I never will*sits on the counter*

King-yes no

Yn-do you even know what cheating is?

Mariah-when you fall and people laugh

Yn-*laughs* no, not that Mariah but good guess

I had let his bath water out and dried him off in his room.

King-do I cheat?

Yn-yes, a lot of times

King-but I don't have a girlfriend

Yn-when you cheat, King, like if you have a race and you start to run before I say 'go', that's cheating

King-does Mariah cheat?

Yn-yea, just like you. Did you know that Mariah is your little sister and you have to take care of her even if she makes you mad?

King-but she 2, like me

Yn-of course because you and Riah are twins

I had put him in the same outfit as Mariah but with draws and basketball shorts and brung him in the living room where Mariah was playing with her Legos and eating fruit.
