[ after albert and brianna declared their plans to go out on a date for the rest of the evening, she took it upon herself to personally watch lyssa until they returned home, despite her former plans with her boyfriend. it's with that change (and realization of what she did at the very last moment) that she calls up caleb to tell him the news, sounding disappointed until she gleefully casually suggested that he come over to help. after some convincing that yes, albert won't be here and yes, she'll wait for him by the door, is done and over with, she happily skips down the stairs after telling lyssa's personal ninja butler that she'll be back shortly.

plops down on the second to last step of the stairs while happily swaying and humming to herself, her eyes planted on the doorway to wait for caleb to enter. ]

[ jerks out of the comfortable silence as well, head also shooting up in excitement and longing for a delicious meal. ]

Food!

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

I go? Or Nathan-ee-ah want to go?

[childsized.livejournal.com]

[ glances at the baby, then the doorway. baby. doorway. baby. doorway. sob. releases her hold on caleb's hand, scooting more towards the baby. ]

I'll stay with him.

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

[ doesn't seem to notice her dilemma, merely nodding & getting quickly to his feet. ]

Back with pizza soon!

[ & he's off, narrowly missing smashing into the doorway in his haste. he takes his time down the stairs though, gripping onto the railings just in case. he finds the front door easily enough & he opens it before the delivery person has a chance to knock. accepts the pizza with a yap of thanks & pays for it in a few quick seconds. then he's scrambling back up the stairs.

bounding back into the room, he announces: ] Food! I bring it!

[ by the time caleb's at the front door she'd successfully (for the third time) kept their little friend from squirming off into the distance, tickling him and making silly faces to watch him giggle and grab at her hair, as per usual. thus she is leaning over lyssa when caleb comes back in, her hair tightly gripped between the boy's stubby little fingers as he happily chews on it. beams over at caleb regardless, jabbing a fist into the air. ]

Food, food!

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

[ puts the pizza down on the ground & scoots it forward. ]

Baby, hair is bad to eat! Hard to chew and have no taste!

[childsized.livejournal.com]

[ laughs a little at that, reaching down to gently remove the hands from her hair. replaces it with one of the soft toys instead, briefly making a face at the damp strands. ]

Hopefully he'll realize that once he can have solid foods...

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

Baby can not taste as baby?

[childsized.livejournal.com]

They can. [ reaches over for the pizza box. ] Babies just like sticking things into their mouths.

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

[ waits for her to take a piece before reaching for a piece of his own. ]

Is okay? Okay for body?

[childsized.livejournal.com]

Mm. Babies are tougher than they look. [ noms at her piece of pizza. after some chewing & a moment of thought: ] He spits it out right after I bleach and dye my hair, though.

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

[ makes an amazed 'oooh' noise. ]

Is more smart than what they look too! Bleach is very bad for health!

[childsized.livejournal.com]

Correct! [ wipes her hands off quickly, reaching over to ruffle caleb's hair afterward. ] You're so smart!

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

[ puffs out his chest & seems to glow a bit. ]

Danke! I try for Nathan-ee-ah!

1/2

[ leans forward so she can quickly kiss him on the cheek. ]

I know.

[childsized.livejournal.com]

[ turns to do the same to lyssa, grinning and giving him little kisses on his face when he giggles. after that's over with, she turns back to caleb. ]

I forgot to get drinks. What would you like?

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

[ peers at her hopefully. ]

Strawberry milk. . . ?

[childsized.livejournal.com]

[ looks slightly confused as she slowly stands. ]

With your pizza?

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

[ nods excitedly. ]

Ja! Strawberry milk go with every food! Like strawberry milk a lot!

[childsized.livejournal.com]

[ slowly smiles at that, smoothing out her clothing. ]

Okay, strawberry milk it is.

[ says a quick bye bye, i'll be back! to lyssa before hopping over to the doorway. she's quick in getting it, if only because she senses lyssa's ninja butler and tells him what she wants even before she's half-way down the stairs. is mindful in thanking him (she's trying out this whole 'being more polite' thing, after all) before turning to go back upstairs and into the room, a bottle of strawberry milk in one hand and some juice in the other. ] Ich bin wieder da!

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

[ in that short time, he'd been knocking at the dangling toys some more, making them swing back & forth with enough speed that the baby seems entertained. glances back toward the door when he's seen nathania's approach & heard her announcement. ]

Willkommen zurück!

[childsized.livejournal.com]

Danke!

[ wanders on over, taking a seat next to him again. almost forgets to hand him his beverage, as she's too busy grinning stupidly at caleb playing with the baby. shakes her head and slides the strawberry milk on over, opening her own drink to take a sip of it while attempting to hide the smile. ]

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

[ leans back to settle himself properly before reaching over to grab at his drink. opening the bottle, he takes two big gulps & then lets out a pleased phew! ]

Danke! Is very good!

[childsized.livejournal.com]

[ nods, though after a pause she wiggles closer to him. nudges him around a little, making him sit in a way where she can sit in his lap with her back against him. tilts her head backward to look up at him. ]

< Is this okay? >

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

[ opens his legs so that she's sitting on the ground with his legs framing her instead. wraps arms around her waist loosely & hunches forward so that he can rest his chin against her head. that done, he yaps out: ]

Ja! We are ready!
