Take Mommy to Work Day

Emily in her car seat

All set in the magic seat

Mommy’s been acting kinda crazy lately. She hadn’t put me in that magic seat that takes me to new places recently and keeps talking about something called weather. Daddy seemed distracted this morning and not really interested in playing. After getting clean pants and second breakfast, Mommy put me in that seat that moves back and forth in the living room. It’s ok, I guess, but gets boring. I’d much rather cuddle. After a couple minutes, Mommy got me out and put me in the magic seat. Yay, an adventure! I’m so happy, I pee. I wish I could figure out how to tell her my pants are wet. It’s uncomfortable, but I’ll try to suck it up. She’ll figure it out, right?

Nope, she took me to the white box in that cold room and left me alone. I can hear a voice that sounds like her, so I cry so she’ll come back. She doesn’t, and we start moving. Ok, this is not cool. Maybe she can’t hear me. I’ll cry louder to get her attention. I keep hearing her voice. My pants are really wet. This is awful. I wish I could figure out how to poop on command. Or even just how to make the poop noise. Mommy always changes me when she hears that. Oh, oh, we’re stopping now! Mommy’s back, and she took me out of the magic seat! Argh, she keeps putting her boob in my face. Seriously, I just ate. I’ll keep crying. She’s smart, she’ll get it. Now she’s standing up and swaying in this cold place. I’m wrapped up, though, and at least it’s new, so I guess it’s ok. I like swaying. Ok, now she’s sitting back down and trying to feed me. Again. Why isn’t she getting it? Alright, I guess I could have a little snack. Snacktime makes me sleepy… wait, she’s putting me back in the magic seat!! No, Mommy! I better really scream. Mommy pulls out her red toy and I hear Daddy’s voice. I can’t see him, but I cry really loud so he can hear me, too. Mommy looks like she might cry. Don’t cry, Mommy! Maybe Daddy will tell her I need new pants. She takes me out of the seat and we cuddle. At least she’s trying. I love cuddles. We need a better system, though.

Oh, I think she got it! She’s laying me down in her lap and taking off my tights! I’m so proud of her. I give her a giant smile to encourage her. (I think adults need encouragement. They seem so much happier if I humor them with smiles.) Yes! She figured it out! Mommy’s so smart. I’m so happy! Now that I have clean pants, I’m ready for our adventure! She puts me back in the magic seat and I doze off.

When I wake up, we’re in a new room with boxes on the ceiling. That’s new. I don’t remember seeing boxes on the ceiling before. There are a bunch of people I don’t know, and Mommy lets some of them hold me. One of them seems really interested in what I have to say, and we talk awhile. Then I show everyone how I can do backbends. They tell Mommy how cute I am. I’m pretty sure she knows. It’s kind of obvious. I’m starting to get hungry again, so I stick out my tongue a few times. Mommy seems to understand that one, and we go somewhere else so I can eat without people demanding my attention. Then Mommy talks to some more people. I’m bored. The ceiling is more interesting. It has boxes. And lights. No ceiling fans, though. I like ceiling fans. Man, all these people are exhausting…

When I wake up, Mommy changes me, and we leave. Back to the magic seat! I’m so happy, I pee.

The End?
