Toddler Training & Birthdays

My son Jewel passed on this dreary morning. Hasper also passed on. She was my first female lover. On the bright side from death comes life. My granddaughter, Sherita and her fiancee, Ernie had a son that they named Mick.

With two new boys in the house I knew I would not get to swim in the ocean for a while so I decided to call the baby sitter and go for a swim before getting to training them. The swim gave me a chance to think back on all of the good times that I have had in my many lives.

I was not able to answer my cell while swimming but before I went home I checked my voice mail and found that Flint had left me a message. He and Patches are expecting a baby. As soon as I was done with my swim, I rushed home to get on the Twins training. Sydney was the only one up so I started with him first. We start with the potty training. Sydney picks it up in no time.

Talking was next on agenda. Sydney was talking with perfect speech with in two hours.

Walking is the last skill on the list. He starts running off as soon as he got his balance.

While I was training Sydney, Dakota woke up from his nap and started playing with the toy tank.

Since Sydney had finished his training, I decided it was time for him to meet the Claw.

Austin brought my granddaughter Cari, (Mica and Cosmo’s Daughter) home from school. She played the video games in the entertainment room. I decided to call her away from them and chat with her for a while.

Anita called and interrupted my conversation with Cari to tell me that she and her husband, Montie had just had a son they named Gary. Meanwhile Boston did his homework in the rain. When he was done he moved inside to play with his Doll he named Pal.

I put Sydney into the playpen and started to potty train Dakota.

When Austin was done with his homework he decided to chat with Jelly Bean.

After Dakota learned to talk, I needed to hydrate so I took a very nice long bath.

Dakota has taken to biting off the heads of the doll house dolls. I think I will have to keep an eye on him. I do not want him to think that is O.K. to destroy things.

My grandson Mikel and his wife made me a great grandma again. They had a daughter that they named Mollie. Boston likes to clean the dishes while his twin brother, Austin likes to play the home jungle gym.

Sydney loves to play with his IF doll, Fluffs. Deanna called me to tell me that her and Garnet are new parents to a bouncing baby boy that they named, Keenan.

I taught Dakota his last skill. I got word that Topaz and Pat are expecting another baby. I called the baby sitter to keep an eye on the younger twins so I could take a swim in the ocean to hydrate and to think. I have to decide if I am going to have any more children because Dakota and Sydney have also gotten IF dolls in the mail from a distant relative. This makes four children and four IFs to make real.

While I was swimming in the ocean, Austin offers the Imaginary Friend Potion to Jelly Bean and Jelly Bean takes it excitedly.

I got the call from some friends saying that Peggy and George Spear had gotten engaged to be married. They also told me that they had seen Flint and Patches leaving the hospital with twins, Able a son and Devon a daughter. It seems that I am a grandma again.

Peggy and Darian Cream’s son Raymond Cream became a Young Adult today.

After I got off of the phone I went to find my son Dakota. I decided that it was time for him to meet Mr. Claw. Austins favorite pastime is playing in the sandbox, even in the middle of winter.

The next morning before breakfast, I was checking Simbook, and found that for more of my grandchildren had grown up last night. Lillian and Antwain’s son: Rob Culpepper; Jade and Ramin’s Son Courtney Davidson; and Melisa Fortin and Jewel Fortin/Tomlin’s Twin daughters: Brenda Fortin and Darlene Fortin. Both of the twins are vampires like their mother.

I also found on Simnbook that right after Darlene had her birthday, Raymond Cream purposed and she said yes. Yesenia and Courtney are expecting my first Great great great grandchild together
and after he found out about the baby he asked her to marry him. she said yes. Ernie and Sherita are pregnant. Brenda Fortin and Bow Tomlin are expecting a baby. So are Deanna and Garnet.

Dakota and Sydney’s Birthdays sneak up on me so I was not able to get them cakes. Dakota goes first.

I am begining to like Simbook. I do not have to wait for updates on my ever growing family. My granddaughter Kristi Cream became a Young Adult, Darlene and Raymond are expecting a baby, George and Peggy took the plunge into holy matrimony. My Daughter Topaz and Pat had a daughter that that they named Kristin.

It was birthday time again and this time I did not forget the birthday cakes. Sadly Boston did not bond enough with Pal in time to get him/her to become real. So for the first time since the beginning of the challenge one of my children will not have their IF by their side. I suspect that one of my second set of boy twins will have the same problem.

Boston went first.

I decided it was time to get caught up on the overflowing laundry. When the laundry was in the dryer, I decided that it was time to offer Boston the chance to learn to drive.

He jumped at the chance so we took off.

Boston was a fast learner and there was still time to teach Austin so I offered to teach him next.

While I was teaching Austin to drive Sydney took the chance to talk to Fluffs who became his IF. Dakota is still trying to get his IF doll, Peanut, to become real like his brother’s. I am hoping that he does not go through what Boston went through.

Brenda called me, since I put my number on Simbook to tell me that she and Bow had tied the knot. After her call I checked Simbook on my phone and found that Yesenia and Courtney had had a son that they named Erwin. He is my first Great Great Great Grandson.

I found Jelly Beam playing computer games on my way to finish another painting I started.

I got two new notices on my phone informing me that Ernie Cream and Sherita Cream had had a daughter that they named Winter and that Deanna and Garnet had had a son that they named Nicolas.

Austin is addicted to the TV video games. Mica came to visit. Sydney instantly became attached and started chatting with her.

Sorry That It Has Been So Long….

I know that it has been a long time since I have posted anything to this blog. It was not that I did not want to it was that depression had gotten a hold of me. I lost my maternal grandmother in the beginning of February of this year and have not been mush of my self since then. I had lost interest in almost everything that I had enjoyed…  Recently I have been able to combat the depression by getting out of the house with mandatory Grand Jury Duty which is a 13 week stint. I volunteered to be the Foreman of the Jury. I found that I really enjoyed it. I just finished my last week of Jury Duty and am going to miss hearing multiple cases every Tuesday and socializing with people that are not family. I met a lot of great people in the last thirteen weeks. I learned so much and am already feeling better because I know I did my part for my country.

During that thirteen weeks I also was able to get a second steady job that helped boost my mood and confidence even more. I get to clean the US Airways 200 and 700 series airplanes at night through an outsourced company. The job is back breaking and the hours suck, but I know that I am not only helping the company that we are employed by, but also when the passengers sit in the sets or use the bathrooms they will be clean. The books will be neat and orderly and not torn and ratty. The pilots will be able to see when they are flying the planes and the stewards  and stewardess will have a clean galley in which to server the passengers out off. All of that because I help my crew to clean  the planes. There is also the possibility to move up with in the company which is something that I have been looking for in an employer.

I have finished the update that I was working on when I found out about my grandmother’s passing. With my new job, I am not sure how often I will be able to update but I am hoping to update at least once a week. I am slowly working on getting the links fixed for the downloads and in my Sims3 studio.

 

So without further a due … the next update…..    Enjoy:)
