May 7th: In the Hotel

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Jan 04, 2011 5:02 pm

"Hrm. That IS a fair point..." Will mused.

by **Sara Stanton** » Tue Jan 04, 2011 5:09 pm

"Maybe if you soaked in the tub for a while?"

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Jan 04, 2011 5:12 pm

"Tis an idea. I was just gonna start pouring some hand lotion on and trying to rub it in to get SOME movement back..."

by **Sara Stanton** » Tue Jan 04, 2011 5:19 pm

"Can try that afterwards."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Jan 04, 2011 5:24 pm

"Alright...I'll just make my way over there, then," he said, walking and repeating the surely aggravating grinding sound that had been following him all day.

by **Sara Stanton** » Tue Jan 04, 2011 5:31 pm

Sara scrunches up her face at that and walks past Will to turn on the water in the tub.

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Jan 04, 2011 5:32 pm

Will cracked and popped as he leaned over to take of his shoes and things, and there were even slight hairline cracks in between the nails that were not originally visible, being hidden as they were by clothing.

by **Sara Stanton** » Tue Jan 04, 2011 5:34 pm

Sara winces. "Just let me get those. And it's probably better if you just keep the rest of your clothes on..."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Jan 04, 2011 5:39 pm

"What, you're turning down the opportunity to see a modern fertility statue?" he half joked, but obeyed.

by **Sara Stanton** » Tue Jan 04, 2011 5:47 pm

"No, I just want to avoid breaking your arm off trying to keep a shirt dry."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Jan 04, 2011 5:54 pm

"No Venus de Milo. Gotcha," Will chuckled, straining and grinding, leaving some powder behind him, as he tried to get in the tub.

by **Sara Stanton** » Tue Jan 04, 2011 6:00 pm

"You should have said something sooner! We could have done most of the shopping later..." she says as she tries to help Will into the tub while still handling Robin and her floppy arm.

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Jan 04, 2011 6:04 pm

"No, no, it had to get done," he said, finally tumbling himself over the side. "So, yeah. We're all set, now..."

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Jan 05, 2011 3:26 am

"It could have waited a couple hours. Well except the diapers I suppose..."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jan 05, 2011 11:56 am

"Yeah. There was no way we were getting around that.

...Actually...

...no, there was no way we were getting around that."

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Jan 05, 2011 2:23 pm

"Yeah, no... And are you gonna be okay? I'm gonna see about setting up the crib, maybe her arm goes back to normal when she takes a nap."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jan 05, 2011 2:23 pm

"Yeah, this is feelin' good. I'm sure I'll be fine in here..."

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Jan 05, 2011 2:25 pm

"Alright." she says and heads out of the bathroom to take care of Robin.

by **Robin Stanton** » Wed Jan 05, 2011 2:27 pm

Robin giggled and cooed, wobbling her floppy arm around.

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Jan 05, 2011 2:30 pm

"Robbie I swear, you're going to be worse than your daddy." she chuckles.

by **Robin Stanton** » Wed Jan 05, 2011 2:38 pm

More giggling, and attempting to grab at Sara with her poor hand-eye coordination combined with poor control of the stretchy arm not producing any productive work.

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Jan 05, 2011 2:48 pm

Instead Sara pretty much put her finger into Robin's hand and holds up her arm when she tries to grab on to it.

by **Robin Stanton** » Wed Jan 05, 2011 2:53 pm

Robin cooed and giggled, like she had just discovered a new game--which, I suppose, she has.

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Jan 05, 2011 2:58 pm

So Sara lets Robin's arm fall back only to repeat the process.

by **Robin Stanton** » Wed Jan 05, 2011 3:02 pm

Robin could literally do this all day, but with each repeat, the arm retracted more and more.

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Jan 05, 2011 3:06 pm

"Will! She's shifting back." she lets him know what's going on while she keeps playing 'How far up can your arm go?' with Robin.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jan 05, 2011 3:09 pm

"Great!" the voice called from the bathroom, followed by a brief sloshing sound.

By now, Robin's arm was juuuust about back to normal.

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Jan 05, 2011 3:16 pm

"Can you do your other arm too?" Sara coos, letting Robin grab her finger with her other hand and gently pulls it up.

by **Robin Stanton** » Wed Jan 05, 2011 3:21 pm

She CAN indeed! She's ambidextrous at the whole shifting she-bang.

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Jan 05, 2011 3:29 pm

"Look at that!" she squeals and wobbles Robin's arm around with her hand still clinging to her finger.

by **Robin Stanton** » Wed Jan 05, 2011 3:33 pm

Ripples! Ripples up and down the arm holy shit it's the most amazing thing ever, thinks Robin.

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Jan 05, 2011 3:35 pm

"Whooo's a wobbly baby? You are! Yeeees." she giggles.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jan 05, 2011 3:41 pm

"What's going on now?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Jan 05, 2011 3:44 pm

"We're playing Wobbly Arm."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jan 05, 2011 3:47 pm

"Competitive!"

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Jan 05, 2011 3:54 pm

"She's too young to play competitive Wobbly Arm, Will!" she chuckles.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jan 05, 2011 3:54 pm

""She'll star in the National Wobbly-Arm League one day! She's a natural!"

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Jan 05, 2011 3:57 pm

"Don't pressure the kid!" she tries to sound serious, but can't help laughing.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jan 05, 2011 4:05 pm

"Right, right," Will said, and then there was more sloshing.

Robin, meanwhile, was just having a ball.

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Jan 05, 2011 4:07 pm

Sara went about making Robin shrink her arm again, rewarding her with a tickle on her stomach each time the arm gets a little shorter.
