How Hank Got His Baby Nursery
Emma was awake and jumping around the house since morning. She was excited about the news of a new arrival at home, Richard had told her about it the night before while tucking her into bed. In the morning, she came rushing into the kitchen with a worried look on her face and asked gravely, “Oh! What about a baby nursery? Don’t all babies have to have one?”
On hearing this, Richard and I both burst out laughing. Well, that was a valid point she had! All babies have one! So, Richard asked her to choose the place where we could have the baby nursery made and also the things they would fill the nursery with. Emma was so happy to hear this that she immediately started searching for the perfect place for the baby nursery.
Emma wrote down all the information on the baby nursery in her little note book. Sometimes, she would get confused and overwhelmed by the wide assortment of toys from which she had to pick. At such times she would call Richard and ask her father to help her with the choices.
A week before Hank’s arrival both father and daughter went to the stores to buy supplies for the baby nursery. After getting back, they set to decorating the nursery and filling it with all the things they had bought.
Emma was waiting anxiously for the day when Hank would be coming home. She hoped he would like the baby nursery she had so painstakingly decorated for him. Finally, when Richard brought him home, Hank’s the first trip was to the nursery. He started chewing on the rugs and toys to claim his territory!
Well! Now I could safely tell Emma that Hank, our chocolate brown cocker spaniel puppy definitely loved the nursery she had done up for him!!
