One Rare Time That "Auntie Nicole" Laughed Of Late

With "Auntie Michelle" withholding Reilly from "Momma" once again, at least "Momma" has time to write another quick entry—an entry that is actually a little upbeat for a change. At least in the painful moments, "Momma" can think of moments like the one in which poor Reilly bested her toy-stealing cousin, whom "Auntie Nicole" first mistook for a toy—and quickly realized that she mistook for a toy as she went to reach for her and play with Reilly.

In between being mistaken for a furry toy and getting an actual toy taken from her snatch by Reilly, Camille decided to keep stealing a destuffed-and-desqueakered ball from "Auntie Nicole" every time that she would try to give it to Reilly—run in between "Auntie Nicole" and Reilly to get it, play tug of war, etc.—Cam insisted on Rei's lack of being able to get the toy.

Finally, "Momma"/"Auntie Nicole" threw the toy for both of them—and Reilly got it! Of course, "Mom-Mom" later had to remove the piece of cloth that Camille tore of it from Reilly's mouth—and that "Momma" tucked into the ball when she threw it for Cam and Ri.

Incidentally:

1. The laughter, of course, was marred by the OCD/Anxiety, etc.
2. "Momma"/"Auntie Nicole" still thinks about how Reilly doesn't have a "Daddy" and Camille doesn't have an "uncle" with whom to share moments like that—so, loneliness definitely marred the laughter in Camille's bratiness.
