Daddy and uncle Grey come up to Ana's room while we are both playing and painting.
"Hey baby girl, nap time for you." Uncle Grey picks Ana up and she pouts. "Daddyyyyy want to play moreeeee. "
"Uh huh. Be a good girl. We can go to the park after you wake up, okay?"
I take her silence as her assent.
"I will play more! Not sleeping yet!" Carol grins.
"Daddy! Carol is not sleeping! I won't sleep!!" Ana starts off and for a moment I am scared that daddy will put me to bed too, but he doesn't.
He takes Ana from Uncle Grey's arms. "Ana, you are my baby, yes? Carol is not. She is a big girl. She can decide for herself when she wants to sleep and wake up."
Ana still throws a tantrum. Daddy spanks her twice, hard. Uncle Grey and I flinch but remain quiet otherwise. She starts crying.
Daddy bounces her on his arms and rubs her back. She falls asleep in his arms instantly.
He puts her in the crib and kisses her forehead. Thank God I can play some more. Both of them leave and I get back to playing but it's not so much fun alone. Should I wake Ana up? Daddy will slay me. I shouldn't test my limits.
When Ana wakes up, she is chirpy and refreshed, I think. She is being showered with a lot of attention from both the daddies. Obviously, no one is ignoring me, they are nice to me too. But they are feeding Ana, tickling her, changing her clothes for going out to the park. Should I change too? Chuck it. But I can't go to the park in my night dress. Yes. I haven't had a bath yet. I think I will just stay at home. Alone. I can because I am a big girl.
"Daddy I won't be going to the park." I tell daddy.
"Yeah Jay, I was about to say the same. I need to work and set my profile. Going to apply for some freelance work."
