When Kole isn’t playing…
It seems like he’s eating and he keeps Jaylen in the kitchen regularly trying to prepare something he likes. So far, he doesn’t seem to be that picky of an eater except for his lunch.
If it isn’t PB & J Sandwich followed by crackers, he isn’t a happy camper and if he isn’t happy… well, you know our the rest of us feel. *sigh*
Things have been going great lately…
We’ve started potty training Kole with great success and he’s finally starting to talk a bit more; which we think it due to his new little Teaching Tablet.
However, we’ve had some issues getting him to sleep through the night due nightmares.
I think the late nights with little sleep have finally caught with Jaylen. He’s been a little under the weather lately. I think he might have a mild case of the Llama Flu!
Although the tea was working, Jaylen still wasn’t feeling 100%. So, he went to bed early and I stayed up with Kole watching cartoons until he started to get fussy.
Tucking him in went fairly smooth…
So, I think tonight will be the night that he finally sleeps through the night.
Before I knew it, my family leave was over and it was time to head back to work at the Hospital.
“Good morning, I’m Peter. Are you, Cliff? I was told that today would be your first day back after having your first child. Congratulations by the way!” *smile*
“Oh! Hi, Peter… where’s Fatima?”
“She’s a nurse now. She finally graduated and was promoted. So, I’m the new assistant.”
@thejennifer Kole is pretty cute. Honestly, I haven't thought that far ahead since I've pretty much kept the family on hold with Kole still a toddler until the Parenthood GP is released. I have one more large update that I need to upload and then you all will be caught up to where I am with my gameplay.
I usually wait until there's a sale to buy GP, since I'll know if others actually like it/if it's worth the money. I'm looking forward to seeing though!
@minkydpain Glad to see that you enjoyed the update. I'm just about to post another large update; which will be the one that brings you all up to date on my gameplay. I won't have anymore updates until I get a chance to play after the new GP is released.
Thanks goodness it’s Friday! As soon as this day is over I can go home and spend a nice weekend along with my family.
“Cliff. You’ve got a call from Jaylen on line one.”
“Okay! Thanks, Peter.”
“Cliff, I know you were looking forward to a relaxing night along, but my sister and her boyfriend stopped by for dinner and she says that they have big news”
*sigh*
“It’s okay, sweetie. I know how much you love your sister and it’ll be nice to finally meet the new man in her life. What do you think of him so far?”
“He’s really friendly, I think you’ll like him”
“Okay, I’ll see you later. Love you!”
“Sorry about that, Miss Watkins. Open wide and say ahhhhhhhh.”
Since Kole was napping, we decided to have a fancier dinner than usual since we had special guests over. I was very impressed with the quality of both the Caprese Salad and Butternut Gnocchi that Jaylen cooked for us.
“ Tonight has been great! I’m so happy to finally get to meet you two. That was the best dinner that I’ve ever had, Jaylen! Thank you so much for having us over!“
“Your welcome, Salvador. We’ve been super excited to meet you too!”
“Wait a minute! The best dinner you’ve ever had? What about all of the stuff that I’ve cooked for you, sweetie? I am a Sous Chef after all at a five star restaurant in Oasis Springs.”
“Oh.. Yeah.. Well..” *blush*
“Chelsea, he probably meant that this was the best amateur dinner he’s ever had. Since you're a professional chef, it’s just a given that your food is in a completely different category. Right?”
“Yes! Yes, that’s exactly what I meant. Thanks for explaining what I was trying to say in a much clearer way, Cliff. Sometimes I’m not that great with words!”
“You’re not? Sweetie, you’re a best selling author.” *confused*
“Oh, it’s the language barrier, I think. Yeah, that’s it. Remember, Simish is my second language, I was born and raised in Monte Vista before moving to Oasis Springs.” *blush*
When we started hearing banging in the nursery, we knew that Kole was awake and playing with his toys. So, Jaylen decided to run some chicken nuggets to the nursery while we continued to have adult conversations.
“So, Jaylen said that you two had some big news to share with us?”
Comments
We’ve been trying to teach Kole to talk, but it might be a bit too soon though. Because he doesn’t really seem too interested in learning right now.
Luckily, our little man is quite expressive of what he wants, when he wants it.
He loves playing. I’ve always thought of myself as a healthy and in shaped kind of man; however, this little guy tires me out on a daily basis.

Luckily for my honey, he’s living with a trained medical professional and I know just the homemade cure for this…
A special Detox Tea.
I think I’ll have some too and prevent myself from getting sick too.

“Wahhhhh!” *sob*
“There, there. It’ll be okay, it was just a dream. There isn’t a monster under your bed, Kole”
Or… maybe not.

“She’s a nurse now. She finally graduated and was promoted. So, I’m the new assistant.”
Wow… how long was I gone?
“Iggy, you’re back! Have you come down with a severe case of mathitis again?”
“No!”
“Really? Because I’m not finding anything wrong with you again.”
“It’s not that! I promise, I don’t have a math quiz today.”
“English quiz?”
“No. Science quiz.” *hangs head down*
While out on family leave, I forgot just how much time I spend each day updating patient records as a Medical Assistant.
I hope I hear back about my application for the open Medical Technologist position soon.
Things have certainly been pretty busy at the hospital this week!
I’m not sure what’s been happening in Windenburg lately, but we’ve sure seen a large influx of Windenburg residents for the last two days.
“Say, Ahhhh!”
“I’m dying aren’t I? You don’t have to sugar coat it! Just be straight with me, please!”
“No, you’re not dying.”
“Are you sure? I feel so awful!”
“Yes. Positive. You just have a mild case of Bloaty Head and this medicine will make you good as new.”
“Oh, okay. Thanks!“
Unlike me, Jaylen was able to get additional time off from work for family leave and continued to work from home while watching Kole.
Although, he did keep a few works of his new paintings for around the house.
Thanks goodness it’s Friday! As soon as this day is over I can go home and spend a nice weekend along with my family.

“So, Jaylen said that you two had some big news to share with us?”
“Oh, yeah. Is it a good time to tell them, Chelsea Pie?”
“Sorry, guys. Kole wasn’t hungry and wants to be part of the action.”
*cough*
“Hey there, little guy! Do you want to ride a aereo?” (plane)
*smile*
“Tutti a bordo” (all aboard)
*giggle*
“Wow! Salvador is really nice, handsome, and great with kids. Sis, you need to marry him!”
*laughs*
“That’s what our big news is!” *smile*
“What?”
“I asked your lovely sister to do me the honors and be my moglie and she said yes.” (wife)
“Congratulations!”
After the excitement of Chelsea and Salvador’s big news wore off and they went home. It was time for bed…
We all were so exhausted.
Well… not all of us.
“Are you hungry, cutie? You didn’t want to touch your food, but I guess that’s understandable it was pretty exciting having company.”
“Let’s go get you something to eat.”
“Here ya go! This oatmeal should fill you up, but not upset your tummy as late as it is.”
“Kole, try to get some sleep tonight. I love you!” *smooch*
