Lincoln and Ronnie Anne's Baby-Sitting Routine
"Hey, check out the time, we're gonna miss the beginning of the entire performance!" Lori exclaimed to Bobby in alarm. "Come on, Lori, let's get outta here!" With that, Lori and Bobby went right out the door.
"Alright, everybody!" said Lincoln, looking right at Lola, Lana, Leni, Lisa, Lucy, Lynn, Luan, Luna, Lily, Clyde and Zach. "What do you guys wanna do 1st?"
"Well, how 'bout we-" Lola began as Lily broke out crying and wailing real loud.
"Oh no, not again." Lincoln groaned to himself while rubbing his temples. "Do you think she's got gas, Leni?"
"I don't know, Lincoln, maybe." Replied Leni with a shrug.
Lincoln patted Lily on her back and tried to get her to burp, but it got no effect.
Lincoln patted her lighter and harder.
Burping was apparently the last thing on her mind.
"Is she tired? wet? hungry? teething? thirsty? when was her last nap?" Ronnie Anne asked them.
"I don't think so, Ronnie Anne, we don't usually eat our dinner meals or get ready for bed around this time, anyhow." Lynn said to her as Ronnie Anne had an idea.
"Hmmm, hey, Lincoln, give her to me, I know exactly what to do with her." Ronnie Anne gently placed Lily on the sofa.
"Ronnie Anne, what are you doing?" Lisa asked her.
"Where's Lily?" she asked in a little singsong voice and lifted up the corner of the quilt.
"There she is!" Lily's crying lessened, and she looked right up at her with wide open eyes. Ronnie Anne let the quilt fall right back over her, right before repeating what she did before.
"Where's the baby girl? peekaboo, there she is!"
Lily sniffed then smiled a bit. Ronnie Anne took the quilt and draped it over her own head.
"Where's Ronnie Anne?" Lily giggled and watched cheerfully.
"Here I am!"
"Ronnie Anne, what did you do back there?" Lincoln asked her.
"Well, Lincoln, I figured if Lily wasn't tired, wet, hungry, teething or thirsty, she just needed my attention."
"Oh yeah, we get it." Lola said to herself.
