Ron took her over to the rocking chair and played with her for a few minutes, then gave her the bottle of juice he had prepared. Deedee took the nipple in her mouth and began sucking immediately. She was thirsty after twelve hours sleep and drank fully one third of the bottle in the few minutes before Ron got out of the rocking chair and carried her back to her crib. Ron sat her on her bottom and picked up her toy bunny to wave in front of her playfully, distracting her temporarily from her nursing with her favorite toy. She took the toy from his hand and lay it across her lap, then returned her attentions to the bottle she had been avidly sucking. Ron stroked her short hair with the palm of his hand affectionately while watching her nurse. After a while, he turned and left her to play in her crib while he went to finish his Sunday paper.
