When Ron got to the living room, he saw Deedee sitting in the playpen with the empty baby bottle lying next to her, whimpering tiredly as if she needed a nap. Ron picked her up to take her to her crib and noticed that she had wet her diaper again. He carried her to the nursery and stopped dead in his tracks when he saw the room. The nursery it had been transformed! Ron was stunned by the changes in the room. The room appeared to have been freshly wallpapered with a white paper with vertical pink stripes, intertwined with a delicate, green tinted flowering vine. The room was filled with baby furniture in white enamel; next to the window there was a crib and adjacent to it was a matching changing table. A dresser stood by the opposite wall and had an acrylic apothecary jar full of pacifiers and a small nursery lamp. The entire room had a bunny motif; adorable pictures of baby bunnies seemed to be everywhere. The lamp, the curtains, the comforter draped over the end of the crib, and even the crib sheets had bunnies on them. There were three framed color prints of bunnies descending in a diagonal across one of the walls. Deedee simply adored bunnies and there they were. It was as if someone had spent weeks shopping for baby furnishings to please Deedee. Ron noticed that the mobile hanging over the end of the crib had bunnies hanging from it’s wires and a diaper stacker now hung from the crib with a bunny appliqué. The tall yellow diaper pail next to the changing table had a decal of a group of baby rabbits romping joyfully in a patch of grass. Deedee turned her head to see the nursery and cooed in delight when she saw how the room had been decorated. She clapped her hands clumsily in applause, barely managing to strike her two palms together. Ron glanced at Deedee as if he expected her to explain the room’s strange transformation, then moved his eyes back to the scene in front of him and shook his head. “This is getting stranger and stranger,” he muttered to himself as he took Deedee over to the table and began changing her diaper.
