chapter 8

"Wakey wakey"
I can  hear a little voice say
I open my eyes and i see Rosie
I sit up quick
Only in fear
did she draw on my face
Wait why is she here
I waved my hand
"I three today"
I throw my arms in excitement placing a smile
she hops off my bed and gets a paper
Handing it to me
Morning Nina could you watch Rosie while we get her party ready it a bit of a surprise bring her back at 12 thank you - Mr and Mrs colt
"Mommy and daddy"
She says getting back onto my bed
I nodded
"Wanna play"
I shrug
She hops off again and carries a backpack onto the bed and starts search through the bag till she pulls out
Memory match
I get out of the covers and sit criss cross
She hands me the cards
I flatten the blanket and shuffle the card
Rosie comes and sit next to me
I lay the card 3×4
"You first"
She says staring at the cards
I nodded putting the card box on the nightstand next to my alarm clock it reads 8:09 am
I flip a card reliving a duck
Another flip showing  a dog
I flip the cards back over
"My turn"
I nodded
She crawls in front of me flipping the duck and random picking another card that also a duck
A match
"I got two duckies"
I clap for a bit
As she smiles
"Your turn"
She says still excited
I flip a dog a different one
I look at Rosie who looks like she on the edge of suspense
I flip the other dog from before
Rosie face grow excited
I don't think I've got this excited
Over a card game but i cant blame
I got a match one to one

"My turn"
Rosie says as she flips the last cards
"I win"
She gets off the bed holding her 4 pairs of matching cards
I smile again and look at my 3 pairs
She hops on the bed and hands me the card
I get the box the time reads
8:27 am
I place the cards back and hands them to Rosie as she hands me a movie
Alice in Wonderland

About 20 minutes into the movie she hooked
So time to go get ready
I throw on a sundress
Brushed my hair and teeth
When i was done getting ready she still in the movie
Soi finished it with her

"Hungry"
Rosie says now that the movie over
It's 9:42 now
2 hours 18 minutes till i bring her back

I get off the bed Rosie does the same
I go to kitchen and look thru the fridge
Rosie made it between me and the fridge looking inside

"Waffles"
She says turning around looking at me
I nodded my head
Waffles it is then

I slowly close the door as Rosie moves out of the way

I get the ingredients while Rosie follows me the whole way

I place my hand on the counter tapping it
Rosie look at me sideways
I want her to sit on the counter i could just pick her up and set her there but i don't know if she'll let me

*sigh*

I go to the dining room and get a stool
Setting it next to ingredients
I tap it
Rosie climbs up onto sitting down once she sits she kicks her leg showing how she Can't reach the floor

Of course, if i tap a stool she got it but if i tap the counter she doesn't maybe Rosie isn't  allowed to climb on the counter

Once i put the ingredients in the bowl i hand Rosie the spoon setting the bowl on her laps
Letting her strict once she tried i strit the rest and pour it into the waffle maker
Rosie stares at the waffle maker as i finished her facelift up
"Yummy"
She says
I nodded my head
She hops off the stool as i finished the waffles
I grad syrupy and butter setting it counter
I lift the butter
"Please"
She says
Once the syrup was on i put it on the table
Rosie doesn't sit at table she still follows me as i get something to drink
"Milk"
I nodded my head as Rosie runs to the dining room
I shrug my shoulder
I poured milk for the both of us
heading out to the dining room
"Please"
She says sliding the plate
I nodded my head
Cutting the waffles sliding them back

An hour passes

You know what also in kinda just notice Rosie in pajamas

I tap myself
Hoping she understand i am talking about her clothes

She runs and get her bag and hanging it to me
Confused
I open the bag and see a pink sundress and sandals with fabric behind the heel

I pull it out
She lifts her hands
Already knows what i want

I change her clothes
grading ponytails out of the front pocket
Putting her hair into two pigtails
30 mins pass by now
About 40 mins left

Clean up time
I start to clean pick up the thing around my room
Rosie helps

When we're done there about 10 mins left i turn on the t.v. for Rosie and i start to read a book
I put a timer on the t.v.
The t.v. Turns off
I walk out of the living room
Rosie follows with her backpack dragging
I pick up the bag and Rosie grads my hand and we head to her house
