Camille, Diana, and Jackie are enjoying tea, coffee, and brownies at the Langford home.
"So how is business going?" (Diana)
"Well you know it's been crazy the past few months. So many people get married around Valentine's Day, so that translate to chaos in the shop." (Jackie)
"Speaking of Valentine's Day, is your honey planning to come to town any time soon?" (Camille)
"We've decided to do the long distance thing for a while longer. But we will see each other at least two weekends out the month." (Diana)
*DING DONG*
"That must be Kendra." (Camille)
Camille gets up to answer the door.
"Hi dear. Don't you look cute?" (Camille)
"Do you remember Diana? She's an old friend of mine, and she just recently relocated to Morristown." (Camille)
"Yes. I remember Miss Diana. So nice to see you again." (Kendra)
"Same here. Congrats on the new baby! I can't wait to see him." (Diana)
"Thanks. Hello Ms. Jackie. Aunt Camille, I have to go get the rest of the stuff out the car." (Kendra)
"Do you need help?" (Camille)
"No, I think I can handle it." (Kendra)
Kendra heads back to the car.
"Well let's see how my sweet baby is doing." (Camille)
"There's the handsome little man, looking just like your mother." (Camille)
Camille starts talking baby talk to little Cameron.
"We want to see him, too." (Diana)
"Sorry, I just get so carried away. Let me get him out of this blanket." (Camille)
"There we go. That's better. Is that a smile I see?" (Camille)
"Isn't he just precious?" (Diana)
"That's right, you don't have any grandchildren yet. It's so much better being a grandma. You can spoil them rotten and then send them on home." (Jackie)
The ladies start laughing. Moments later Kendra returns with Cameron's playpen.
Jackie helps her put it up.
Then Jackie and Diana decide to take their tea to the living room, while Kendra gives Camille the run down on her and Nate's plans for the evening.
"I left a piece of paper in his diaper bag with all the pertinent information. Nate and I won't be out very long. I can't be away from Cameron for very long." (Kendra)
"Well try to relax and have a good time. You know I will take great care of him." (Camille)
"I know, but this will be our first time away from each other for this amount of time. I'm going to miss my little munchkin." (Kendra)
"That's normal for first time mothers. It will get easier, I promise. I'll have my phone nearby in case you want to call and check on him." (Camille)
Kendra just sits there holding Cameron for what seems like an eternity. Finally Camille speaks up.
"Kendra, I'm sure Nate is probably at the restaurant by now. Just go and have a good time. You deserve it. Cameron will be fine." (Camille)
Kendra hands the baby to Camille, says her good-byes to the ladies and head out the door.
Note:
1) I made Cameron's little sleeper and hat outfit from a sock.
Hi Van, you do wonderful photostories....Love your blog, you're a great girl!
ReplyDeletebilla - Thanks for visiting. You, too, have a wonderful blog. Your fashions are incredible!
DeleteHi! I'm always amazed to see these adorable teeny tiny clothes you make. I only make clothes for my 18" and up dolls, that's the smallest I can handle :-). Lovely story, the baby looks very cute. I loved it to see that the coffee cup is actually filled, you think of the smallest details.
ReplyDeleteNymphaea - Sewing for 18" dolls is so much fun. Sometimes it takes just as much time making these small ones as it does making the larger ones.
DeleteI can't take credit for filling the little cups. lol. I bought them that way. I did fill the cup that Camille has.
I know how Kendra feels, I'm still very protective and hover over her. :-) Wow, that Diana Ross Barbie is gorgeous! That was a great find. Beautiful job on the baby's outfit and hat.
ReplyDeleteHover over my daughter is what I mean to type, LOL.
DeleteTracy - Thanks. With the crazy stuff happening to young kids these days, I don't blame parents who are overly cautious. Isn't the DIana Ross doll great? They did a wonderful job on her sculpt
DeleteWhile Kendra may be hesitant, it'll be all worth it spending some alone time with Nathan. That Diana looks fabulous! She has such nice bone structure. Keep up the good work, and I hope your doing better!
ReplyDeleteVerona - Yes, it's incredibly important to give the hubby some alone time. They seem to feel a little neglected right after a baby's birth. They did a great job on that Diana sculpt. I had to keep her in town and get her more involved.
DeleteLove Cameron's outfit...the baby playpen is really cute. I always love getting a break from the kids lol
ReplyDeleteTinisha - Thanks. I think Kendra will enjoy getting a break, too. She just doesn't realize it yet.
DeleteIt was very hard for me to leave my little on for the first time. He is four and I am still leary about leaving him.
ReplyDeleteAG Lanc - Awww, four year olds are so adorable! I don't blame you for being leary. Kids are so precious and there are some crazy people out there.
DeleteDid you make the playpen? It's really nice. Looks like the real thing.
ReplyDeleteTam - Yes, I made the playpen about 5 yrs ago. I had considered making and selling them on my sell site. That is the only one I've ever made. lol.
DeleteI like this story. I know the feeling of not wanting to leave a little one at first but you overcome it. Countinued prayers for your health love!
ReplyDeleteDoll Crazy - Thanks! I can only imagine how tough it is to leave a baby. I have trouble leaving the dogs at times. All Bruce has to do is give me the right look and I melt and tell him to get in the car.
DeleteHi Vanessa! That beautiful story and beautiful scenery! I understand that it is difficult to leave the baby, so tiny. I really like the miniature clothes you are wearing. A kiss!
ReplyDeletekarmen - Thanks! Hopefully Kendra will allow herself to enjoy her night out.
DeleteDiana Ross!!! And that's all I got to say about that!
ReplyDeleteI would be scared to leave my tiny little baby too. Shoot, I would make Granny come to the restaurant too and sit in the corner with the baby or something so I could glance over at him.
Lolololololololo too funny!!!
DeleteThe playpen is adorable. And those brownies! Yum.
ReplyDeleteThanks Roville!
DeleteWow... Diana is simply gorgeous!! She looks so beautiful and I love her hair. I understand Kendra, it must be difficult to stay away from that little cutie, Cameron looks so sweet in that blue outfit!
ReplyDeleteHello from Spain: baby is very cute. I understand Kandra. Anyway the baby is in good hands. Beautiful creations with sock. You have a lot of talent. Very inspiring. I also like that kitchen. Keep in touch.
ReplyDeleteMarta - Thanks! Yes little Cameron was in very good hands. Deep down Kendra knew that he would be okay, but she was still worried.
DeleteAwww, the little baby is so cute! And love his new threads! ^_^ The dollies look beautiful as always!
ReplyDeleteKenyaDoll - Thanks. I'm trying to make him a nice little wardrobe.
DeleteYou really amaze me. I haven't even started on the kids clothes. I'm working on my grandma clothes. The sleeper us cute!!
ReplyDeleteBrini - Thanks. I'm looking forward to seeing grandma's new digs that you're making. I plan to get back to Danielle's mom's wardrobe soon. I have to remember that she lives in Florida.
DeleteRossetti - Isn't Ms. Ross a beauty? I'm glad she decided to stay in town.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed that! the little suit you made for the baby is so cute just like him,i really hope Kendra and Nate have some good time!
ReplyDeletejassica joe - Thanks. Kendra loosened up a bit once she met up with Nate. They didn't stay out too long, but it was nice to just enjoy each other for a little bit.
DeleteI love how you added pieces to the house! The baby's outfit is to die for! Too cute for words! Great story too!
ReplyDeleteMs. Leo - Thanks. Camille still has some work to do on her kitchen, but it's usable. Now that I'm getting more hand sewing practice, making these little outfits are a little easier.
DeleteOld Joe and I were looking at those brownies. Sigh ... too far away to snatch.
ReplyDeleteNice that Kendra has someone to watch her baby - and more importantly, someone she can trust.
D7ana - Leave it to you and old Joe to find the food in the story. I think Kendra will be more comfortable the next time she has to leave Cameron.
DeleteNice post. I thik it´s good for Kendra to go out and meet with their friends and family. The little Cameron is so cute =)
