Baby Shay is in Good Hands (Photostory)

Raquel's parents have agreed to take baby Shay for the night, while Racquel and Terrance are hanging out at Darius and Nikki's place.  It's been a pretty uneventful evening and now it's about 8 pm and Lauren is preparing Shay for bed.


"That should do it."

"Honey, bring her in here."

"Did she fall asleep?"  (Lauren)
"No.  She was just playing with her grandpa."


"Oh, I forgot to put her seat in the tub.  Honey, can you get it.  It's right behind you."  (Lauren)

"Just sit it in the tub.  Thanks."  (Lauren)

"Any particular way?"  (Husband)
"No."  (Lauren)

"Do you need anything else?"  (Husband)
"Say 'no, grandpa. we're all set.'"  (Lauren)


"Does that feel good?"  (Lauren)


"Granny needs to buy you some bath toys for next time."



"Okay sweetie.  Time to get out."

"Now you are squeaky clean.  You should sleep well, tonight."

"You know it seems like yesterday that I was giving your mommy baths."
Lauren sits for awhile looking at Shay as she is settling down.  

"Hey mom."  (Faith)
"You're home early."  (Lauren)

"Can I hold her?"  (Faith)
"She is almost asleep.  I don't want to disturb her."  (Lauren)

"So did you get a lot of studying done?"  (Lauren)

"I still have more to do, but I got tired of being in the library.  My test isn't for another two days."  (Faith)

"Well, try to get some rest. I'm going to put her down now, and I promised your dad I would watch a movie with him.  I will see you in the morning."  (Lauren)
"Good night, mom."  (Faith)

    1. sarah key - The tub, shower, and vanity are from a Mattel Barbie set. I am drawing a blank on which year. If I figure it out, I will let you know. Chances are someone will comment and let us both know. The sink has another part to it, but I removed it for this scene. The walls are from a cardboard doll house I bought years ago.

  2. Cute little story! Lauren looks like she is having memory flashbacks of her own children!

    1. william - Thanks. Kids grow up so fast. She is probably wondering where the time has gone.

  3. Shay's Grandpa is a silver fox! I had to look at your character index to remind myself how Lauren is related to Raquelle. Very useful!

    1. limbe dolls - Yes, Grandpa is a looker. It's hard to keep everyone straight in Morristown.

  5. So sweet!!! I still remember when my mum did the same with my little sister, we all loved to watch her bath the baby, I think it's something very relaxing. I hope Faith does great with her test.

    1. Rossetti - That's wonderful that you remember those times. Those times really do fly by. Faith is a pretty good student, so I'm sure she will be prepared.

  7. I'm loving this bathroom and all of the detailing in it. It's good to see that Shay has such wonderful grandparents looking out for her as well as her parents. :)

    1. Alura - I've been wanting to do a bathroom story for a long time. Grandma and Grandpa are just eating little Shay up.

  8. Shay is adorable - no wonder Grandma and Grandpa love her so much ;-)

    Neat diorama setting. I think the Crystal chair that Lauren sits on is from the Fashion Fever line. The bathroom might be from the more recent Barbie furniture line.

    1. D7ana - Grandma and Grandpa have been smiling all night.

      No, that bathroom is from early 2000s. I bought it new. I just can't remember how long ago.

  9. I love the mix of the back drop and your 1/6 accessories. It's a nice reminder that we should always be playing, and not worrying about is it "real." (and I know you do "real" too!) Perfect setting for the little baby.

    1. SuperCoolDollHouse - I love these little cardboard backdrops. Gives me an opportunity to do something a little different. I just bought another 3 story cardboard house this past weekend.

  10. How sweet. It's nice to have grandparents that want to be involved - and I'm sure Raquel and Terrance will be very relaxed knowing that Shay will be well taken care of (and probably spoiled - but that's what grandparents are for).

    1. Carrickters - Being grandparents is much more fun than being the parent. Spoil them, then send them home. That is what grandparents are for. LOL.

  11. What an awesomely cute bath set! It's quite realistic. Lauren is a good grandma!

    1. Muff - I love this little cardboard bathroom backdrop. Glad to finally use it. I guess Lauren and her husband haven't remodeled the bathroom yet. It's a little dated. LOL.

  12. Hello from Spain: I love the baby bathtub. Mattel's original??? I had not seen before. I love the decor of the bathroom. The walls are beautiful. Images are very tender and real. I love this baby's bath time ... Great idea! Keep in touch

    1. Marta - Thanks. That baby bathtub is not Mattel. It was part of a set with some interesting infant dolls I bought.

    1. Kenya - Yes he is! Up until a couple of weeks ago we had only heard that she had a husband. He finally showed up, which means I just bought someone that fit the bill. She was thrilled.
