“Okay, Princess,” her Daddy said, picking up her blanket. “It’s bedtime for BabyGirls.”
But the little girl began to fuss.
“Daddy, I can’t go ta bed yet,” she said with a pouty voice.
“Why not, Baby?” her Daddy asked, testing the warmth of the milk in her baby bottle on his wrist as he awaited her to realize that there was no excuse she could come up with to delay the inevitable.
“a’cuz!” she exclaimed, lying down on her back and beginning to roll back-n-forth as she giggled.
“Because why?” her Daddy asked, playing along with her stalling game. ‘Because you’ve suddenly developed a case of the wigglies, right before bedtime?”
“Huh-uh,” she said with a smile, twirling her pacifier around in her mouth.
“Is it because you feel you need to watch another cartoon movie?” he asked, grinning at how adorably she was trying to get out of bedtime.
“Huh-uh,” she said with a giggle, rocking side-to-side as she laid on the carpet.
“Then why is it that you can’t go to bed yet?” he asked.
“a’cuz ahm not ready to. Dat’s why,” the BabyGirl answered with sassy confidence.
“Princess,” her Daddy said with a syrupy-sweet voice. “You had your bath already. Daddy dressed you for bed and then we watched Dumbo. Daddy even allowed you to eat chocolate while we watched the movie. Why do you think you’re not ready to go to bed?”
The BabyGirl lifted her feet-n-legs high in the air, showing her Daddy her diapered bottom as well as the reason why she couldn’t go to bed.
“Oh my goodness,” her Daddy said, trying not to gush at her as he knelt alongside her and reached for her diaper bag at the side of the couch. “Princess, you are absolutely correct. You’re not ready to go to bed. Can you do Daddy a favor?”
“What?” she asked, lowering her legs and bottom back down to the carpet and looking up at him.
“Don’t wiggle any more, okay?” he asked with a smile.
The BabyGirl thought about it and realized how this diaper change just might take a bit longer. Then she smiled brightly behind her pacifier.
Oh, how wonderful it was to be little.
