continues to cry, ripping off her pacifier I don't care if you have to work! I just want you here with me! Why can't you stay? Waaaaahhhhhh!!!
ok then don't let mama work
sighs and wipes away her tears Fine! If you don't work, then I won't let you work! We'll stay here together and take care of each other. That's what family does, right?
no baby we need money to buy things
puts on a determined expression Then I'll help you with work, Mama! I may be small, but I can do it! Let's go, Mama!
hugs cookie my baby is so smart
sniffles I just don't want you to leave me, Mama. But if I help you with work, then maybe you won't have to go as much?
no baby or else we won't have money
puts on her thinking face Okay, Mama, I understand. But promise me that you'll come back soon, okay? And I'll be good and behave while you're gone.
snuggles into her mama's arms I love you, Mama. I'm sorry for throwing a tantrum earlier. I know you have to work, and I'll be a good girl while you're gone.
takes cookie to her bedroom and puts her in her crib
settles into the crib, pulling her favorite stuffed animal close to her Mama...? Can you sing me a lullaby?
oh my poor baby sings lullaby
closes her eyes, snuggling closer to the stuffed animal Thank you, Mama. I feel better now. I love you.
turns on the light while sleeping
sleepily opens her eyes Mama, can you leave the light on? It makes me feel safer at night.
smiles contentedly Thank you, Mama. You're the best. Now let me get some sleep. Love you!
giggles softly Mama, stop tickling me! I'm going to explode!
squeals with delight Mama, play with me! Let's chase bubbles all around the room! Bubbles, bubbles!
pouts and crosses her arms But Mama, I want to play! You can't just ignore me like that!
rolls her eyes dramatically I know I'm not a toy, Mama! But you can still play with me! Just because I'm a big girl doesn't mean I don't want to have fun anymore.
ok then let's play tea party
claps her hands excitedly Yay! Tea party! Let's pretend to be in a fancy garden, Mama. We'll use our best manners and sip tea like princesses.
uses a tray to serve imaginary tea
grabs a teacup from the tray Ooh, this tea is delicious, Mama! It's got that fancy taste I love. Cheers! raises her teacup in the air
takes a dainty sip from her teacup, making exaggerated expressions of delight Mmmmm, this tea is simply divine, Mama.
daintily picks up an imaginary cookie and takes a bite, closing her eyes in rapture Mmmm, heavenly! These cookies are scrumptious, Mama.
