Rainbows & Ladybugs

We kick off this chapter with a little father-son love.

Breckin: Um awkwood?

I wish I’d snapped this from a better angle, it seriously looked so awkward and funny…like Asparagus had never held a kid before. And Breckin’s face…ahaha.

Breckin: You sure he's my dad? I look nutting like tis guy.

It’s true, can you see any resemblance?

Hmm, he might have the same lips? Definitely has the same eye color. That darn dark blue eye color seems to be very, very dominant. Auntie Afton likes to hide her dark blues with pretty contacts.

The only reason this photo is here is because I freaking love her skirt. Oh, and to remind me that we need to start project “Find Afton a Boyfriend” which is ridiculously hard when you can’t tell them to do anything. I’m just going to have Asparagus dump her off at the park on her days off. Yep. That is so the plan.

More father-son bonding:

Blue: I'm gonna fall!!

After his walking session Blue joined his little brother at the learning stations. Yes, they did it all on their own – so cute!

Breckin is QUITE the ham.

Afton found her niece in the bathroom before school that morning.

Blythe: I was just making a pond for the ladybugs to live Aunt Afton. My rainboots will make it so my socks don't get all wet before school.

That evening, our heir grew into a full-on adult. Hello wrinkle lines!

What’s this?

Blair: Oh! My favorite child son is here! Hi Avery!

It’s a birthday party for Blue! The whole fam was invited, as well as Blythe’s friend Jean.

That’s Jean, she’s pretty adorable right?

She doesn’t seem to like the Gen 2 Bloom boys at all. What a little meanie! I have to admit she cracked me up though – possible mate? She looks a lot like Bambi though…anywho. CAKE TIME!

Aki was too preoccupied answering the house phone to come and sing happy birthday. psh.

Aki: Oooh, okay. I'll tell Mom & Dad that they died.

Blue: Smiling isn't cool.

Afton: Oh my goodness, such a sudden sparkley peaceful presence!

REALIZATION:

Afton: OH GOD! MOM!

Blair went willingly and Afton went in for one more hug (walkthrough glitch much?) and the kiddles sobbed uncontrollably.

Parkin: My heart is broken.

Parkin grabbed a slice of cake and then decided against it.

Parkin: This was her favorite toy..

Aww, my heart was breaking for Parkin. Look at that look!

Blue isn’t so tough (sorry, this photo should technically be before the last one because the cake is still on the counter. ha).

But he’s tough enough to have SKULLS on his comforter and sleep in his baseball cap. Watch out!

Blue joined his sister on the bus for his first day of school the very next morning.

Another possible mate sighting!

He looks a lot like Jean though. More variety please!

Asparagus tries to be a good Dad (autonomously with Blythe) and comforts his children when they get home from school that evening. Afton is there in case things go badly. Isn’t she pretty in her pink scrubs??

Afton: I'm outta here.

Aloysius wasn’t present at the party where his Mom passed, but called to offer his condolences.

Parkin: Why didn't you just come over son? I bet I could see you if I look behind me.

He lives in that house behind Parkin.

Nothing too exciting happened the next day until Blythe’s birthday party at the pool.

Blue: Our Grandma just died.

Jean: Riiight. Time to go.

So Jean and newspaper boy left before the birthday girl grew up but that’s okay. Blythe changed into her rain boots instead of her swimsuit and jumped into the pool.

Blythe: Why did I do that?

And then our dear little Blythe grew up in a cloud of sparklies.

Her first autonomous action as a teen was to read a book on pregnancy. Which means it was in her inventory. Which means she read it as a child.

Asparagus: What?

Yeah, I have a feeling she’s gonna be trouble.

We’ll end with a well-lit CAS photo of teen Blythe. She’s now afraid of commitment..spurred I believe by her fascination with divorce seen in the previous chapters.

Don’t know when the next chapter will be, I haven’t played past this point. Breckin will be a teen by the end of it though so we can have an heir poll. That’s a promise
