Bethany brought Brianna over on Tuesday, March 6 to visit Abigail. I've known Bethany for years, even before we moved across the street in 1987, and she is a baby whisperer! Babies and kids, even cats, always like her. She babysat all through high school, rich beyond the rest of us...she even babysat my siblings on occasion.
Adam always liked Bethany...but this time, he snubbed his girl Bethany for Brianna. The new love of his life, I think! He started climbing on her and following her around. He brought her a book to read to him and through himself at her for a hug...something I had never seen him do before! When she was sitting on the dining room chair, he tried to climb up her, almost knocking her over! (he's 32 pounds she's 45!) He even brought her some of his favorite toys.
Meanwhile, he let Bethany hold Abbey. And Abbey slept the whole time, cuddling right into Bethany. She may have lost Adam's adoration...but little Abigail was happy to take his place.
And Bethany was nice enough to bring us two meals...rigatoni with homemade sauce and meatballs (saying she was a bit nervous about cooking Italian for an Italian...but she did fine!) and chicken enchiladas...something I've actually been meaning to try and make. They were pretty good...different! Anyhow, fed us to dinners and two lunches...nice to not have to worry about food. Fitting dinner in around the craziness that is our evening is still the biggest challenge for me....
Still can't get over how much Bethany's daughter looks like her. Love how she made food to bring...I was like...what do you want me to buy from a restaurant?
ReplyDeleteShe is a "mini me" everyone says so! I love when she makes the same faces I used too. Glad you enjoyed the dinner. David said the rigatoni was good. Usual, he doesn't comment on my dinners--just eats them:-)
