On Monday night, Jeremy’s mom and brother went out for their birthdays and took Noelle with them. It was just a birthday dinner for the birthday people. Noelle got her gift from Grandma and the people at Olive Garden sang to her and gave her a small cake. I was told that she wasn’t quite sure about all those people singing to her, but she LOVES her cake. There is still some leftover and we’re enjoying it. It will be gone by lunchtime today. Anyway, her present from Grandma was her very own baby doll. It’s so cute! She didn’t let go of that baby until she fell asleep that night. I had a really hard time getting her dressed for bed because I had to move her doll from arm to arm so she could still hold her, but I needed each arm to come out of her clothes and later to go into her pajamas.
Yesterday, the kids found her baby. They kept wanting to play with her and Noelle hardly got to play with her own baby. They kept trying to substitute her with another doll. I finally put a stop to it. They each have their own baby from when they were little (usually because I was having another baby, so we gave the “baby” at the time, their own baby to take care of.) I told them that if they want to play with a baby to get their own out. Then I heard, “But mine isn’t that little” and I told them that Grandma had gotten Noelle a smaller baby because Noelle had been a smaller baby. They huffed and puffed, but the house stayed up and everyone was happy with their own baby after a while.
Oh, by the way, her baby has been named “Baby Chocolate” after a doll of Jeremy’s mom who is called “Little Miss Chocolate” who was named after a really good friend of his mom who goes by the name “Miss Chocolate”. Noelle named her own doll. I guess it looks enough like the other doll though smaller that she just automatically called it that. I know that the original “Miss Chocolate” (Gwen, if you want her real name) is quite pleased to have another little baby named after her.
Only 9 days until her actual birthday. I can’t believe my baby will be 2!
If anyone is wondering, yes… I did delete a post. I hate complaining online and I got it out of me then decided it didn’t need to stay after a few days.
