I always
wonder
what Baby Bella is going to do
under
certain circumstances
in
public places.
Sometimes my concern
is
higher than other times
{like eating at a fancy restaurant}
With
school back in full swing
my little sister {
bug}
started
highschool volleyball,
season two.
I
love supporting her
& going to
as many games as I can
so
when my Momma called to see
if I wanted to
meet her there...
I immediately said
"Yes".
{
before thinking about how I
would be able to handle Baby
Bella on
bleachers, with a
crowd of people
&
loud noises.}
With
a little bit of fear
I headed into the gym
armed with a little
book,
a granola bar
& my
secret weapon
{
her bottle}
To my
surprise Baby Bella
loved watching the Volleyball
get passed
back and fourth between teams.
{Thank the
Lord}
She also managed to sit
quietly
on my lap... for a total of
ten minutes.
then decided
this spectating thing
wasn't for her.
I
immediately grabbed her book
{
she loves to read... &
maybe chew}
hoping that would destract her
for
at least a couple more minutes
so I could
watch my sister serve.
After a
short period of time
{
I'm talking like five minutes}
she got
bored of reading
& decided to go for the
sweet spot
{
mommy's purse}
She pulled out my
wallet. keys.
advil bottle.
pens.
chapstick. sunflower seeds.
&
mardi gras necklace.
{I
always keep a random assortment
of things to
distract Baby Bella
...you
never know when you'll need them!}
Then GG {
grandma} showed up.
She brought some
wagon wheels
for her
sweet little grandbaby
&&
kindly sat with Baby Bella
while she
double fisted.
By this time Bug's team
had
won slayed the first match
& were
halfway into the second.
I stayed
as long as I could
but Baby Bella
only slept
for thirty minutes at daycare
& her diaper was starting to
reach capacity.
Satisfied with her behavior
&
confident that I could
bring her to another game
we exited the gym-
happy.
content.
&& tuckered out.
