so penny has always loved her stuffed animals and is lately into to rocking them, and singing to them. so i've been dying to get her a real baby doll. she has a soft cabbage patch doll from xmas but I wanted to get her a real baby with a bottle, stroller etc.
a random walmart clearance on tuesday afternoon and mission accomplished.
i brought her baby doll which came with a jogging stroller, baby (wiht eyse that open and close) and a diaper bag including bottles, powder, wipes and rattle.
she immedately went crazy for the doll while we started building the stroller. well stroller building was going to slow so penny took the partially built stroller (no wheels) and put baby in it - ready to walk. when daddy took it away to add the wheels - all hell broke loose.
that was enough to send her over the edge - apparenlty her baby really needed a walk. she started doing the silent crying because she was so upset. cried so hard she wasnt breathing... and kept not breathing.. turning blue, then purple, then i freaked. starting yelling, "kris she's not breathing, she's blue, oh crap" he yells "pick her up and shake her" and i decide to sort of punch her in the belly. not sure why - but it worked. you do weird things when terrified.
this must have broke loose teh scream - but she become vocal about her tantrum, which went until baby and stroller were both in her hands again.
suddenly - all was right in penny's world. tantrum forgetton, and baby love started.
god she loves that doll. she pushes it all over the house, stopping to hug it and kiss it and fix how it's laying in the storller.
she either carries the diaper bag or puts it on the stroller -she gives baby her bottle, rattle and paci. even thought about sharing pink puppy but quickly changed her mind and then sort of hid it from the baby.
she protects baby from gatsby. he can not go near baby or will get hit by penny while she yells, "nonononononono"
she always puts baby to bed. she rocks it in a circle, sings "lalala", then lays baby on her chair, gives bottle, covers with a blanking and says "nite nite" and waves.
this is what we've had to do for baby past 2 nights before penny will eat dinner or go to bed herself.
it's amazing htat after such a crazy tantrum, she appears to be such a loving little mommy.
it's pretty much the cutest thing ever.
which is why there area TON of photos and videas below - i can't pick a favorite :)
