Coraline’s #1 toy is her favorite baby doll, Baby Miranda (named after her little cousin). She never goes anywhere without her and even falls asleep with her in her arms. When we drop Coraline off at daycare, she always leaves Baby Miranda in the car so she doesn’t have to let her friends and classmates play with her (apparently the thought of sharing Baby Miranda is appalling). Yesterday, however, she wouldn’t let her go, which resulted in me taking Baby Miranda from her and leaving Coraline in tears. Thankfully, her teachers are great at calming her and distracting her. They don’t, however, appease my guilt at making my baby cry, so I promised Coraline I’d take Baby Miranda to work with me. So without further ado, here is Baby Miranda’s first-hand account of her day at the office with me.
I started my day by logging on and putting on my headphones. Gotta listen to some tunes while I work!
Hamming it up with a cubemate's Snoopy phone
Getting comfy in Coraline's mommy's office chair
Coraline's mommy's friends helped me play a joke on her by sitting me next to the kitty statues on her cabinet.
Time for a coffee break! It felt like it took forever for that cup to fill up.
I enjoyed a yummy lunch with Coraline's mommy and her friend Mary at Chuy's.
Snuck over to Coraline's daddy's cube and checked out his desk -- and coffee mug. Coffee rocks!
Had to drink lots of water to dilute some of that strong coffee I enjoyed earlier.
Checking voicemail messages at the end of a long, productive day
Back home with the bestest little mommy in the whole world. I love her so much!
So cute. Did your coworkers enjoy playing with the doll. Aren’t you a bit young to be a grandma?
My coworkers did indeed have fun with the doll and are more than happy to help me with scenarios/photo ops. :-). And ha! Some days I feel old enough to be a great-grandma.
