girl, i got you

Tonight I was shopping at WalMart with Bunny in the Ergo. It was around dinner time so I knew she had a limited shelf life, not to mention it was really hot today and her little body next to mine was WARM.  Sooooo, she’s been doing so well with signing lately and I am really trying to reinforce her signs with the proper action (whatever she is asking me for). She started signing for milk. Milk, milk, milk…she was adamant about it. I felt so bad b/c I forgot her sippy cup and I knew she was getting hungry and worse yet, was probably thirsty.  I did what I had to do for my girl– I popped a boob in her mouth right there in the coffee aisle. I was pretty slick about it and I happened to be wearing a button down shirt and it worked perfectly. She got a few sips of bunnymilk and she was good to go.

I have to admit, when it was over, I really felt good. I looked into her big blue eyes and I knew that she knew I had her back– no matter what.  Even in the middle of WalMart.
