Too Good For You

Sada Anthony,
A year and a half later..

I feel a smack on my face and I groan swatting away whatever it is. I'm met with another hard smack and some blabbering. I pop my eyes open to see one small hand over my eye and a toothless grin.

"Hi baby," I coo and pinch his chubby cheeks lightly. "you can never let me sleep huh?" I laugh and slide out of the bed. I stretch my back and groan feeling how tight my body is. "You tire me out, you know that right?" I laugh seeing his fist in his mouth covered in baby saliva.

"Let's get you clean." I coo and grab a diaper along with some wipes off my dresser. I put him on the bed and take his little pajama pants off. I unsnap his onesie and undo his diaper seeing it's completely dry. "Look at you! Being a clean boy." I say excitedly making him giggle.

"Say 'no funky butts round here'. We smell clean all day everyday." I coo and kiss his little button nose making him giggle. I quickly dress him back up and push his swing to the bathroom with my foot.

"That's what I call multitasking buggy." I proudly explain and put him in his chair so I can freshen myself up. I quickly do my morning routine and hear my stomach growl.

"Let's go see if mama cooked." I pick him up to go down the hall to the the kitchen. I creep around the corner as quietly as I could but fail at the baby's loud blabbering. "Morning baby." I laugh seeing her flipping pancakes with a piece of watermelon hanging out of her mouth.

"Morning mama." She kisses my nose making me giggle. "How's our little guy?" She kisses all over his face and he instantly attacks her pulling at her hair.

"He goes for it every time." I laugh and shake my head once she finally wiggles out of his tight grasp.

"He does." She scrunches her nose up at him cutely and I melt at the two of them. "Go sit, I made your plates." She shoos me off and I quickly go sit at our dining room table.

"Your papa should be here soon buggy." I pout because I know I won't see him for a few days. "I'm gonna miss you." I coo and attack his cute little face with kisses.

A plate of food is set in front of me and he instantly reaches down to get some. "Hold on greedy." I laugh and break off a very small piece of my pancake to feed him.

"Did you change him baby?" I ask while I watch him gum down this watermelon.

"Yeah, I brought him out here so I wouldn't wake you."

"He fell back to sleep?" I glance up at her seeing the love in her eyes at the both of us making me blush.

"Yeah, all I had to do was put him close to you and he passed right out." I nod and glance down seeing him try to shove the whole piece of watermelon in his mouth. "Not so fast dude." I laugh and hold onto it so he won't choke.

We all eat quietly, enjoying our food. Him more than me. A knock sounds at our door and I quickly get up carrying him to the door. "Papa's here buggy." I coo and open the door.

"Hey! Look at my little guy!" Both of them smile big looking like complete twins. His father takes him from my arms and he instantly kisses all over his face making him erupt in the cutest fit of laughter.

"Babe, can you get his bag?" I turn to see her pointing by the front door with a knowing smile. I look and see it's right by my feet. "Oh," I tuck my lips in and grab the bag to hand it to Olu. "You have his seat right? Y'all not going too far?"

"I have it in the car. We're only going to my aunts house." He assures me. "You and your cousin need to stop worrying." He points a finger at me and I put my hands up in surrender.
