Tom: Morning little man
Tom took Caleb from you with a huge smile
Olivia: Mommy, can I have more, please?
You: Absolutely Livvy, you can have as much as your little tummy can hold
Haylee: I'll scoop it for her mom. You might want to check on Ryker though
You: Is he outside?
Haylee: Yeah
You walked outside to find Ryker
You: Hey bubs
Ryker: Hi mom
You: Did you eat?
Ryker: Dad made me eat a plate he made, but I wasn't really hungry
You: Is there more you're not telling me Ry?
Ryker: They never stop...doesn't matter how hard I try
You: What?
Ryker: The kids at school...
You: What do they do?
Ryler: Constantly make fun of me
You: Ry, I'm so sorry
Ryker: It's because I don't live up to the Holland name
You: I don't live up to the Holland name bubs
Ryker: Sure, you do. You and dad work for Marvel
You: Which makes you a part of that too Ryker. Both you and Haylee mean absolutely everything to dad and me. We made a promise when you guys were born that we'd always be here for you. Anytime you need us
Ryker: I can't just call you during school
You: Why not? I always have my phone on my and about 90% of the time dad does too
Ryker: So, whenever I need you—
You: Dad and I are a phone call away...always, and so is Robert
You kissed Ryker's head before heading back inside
Tom: He okay?
You: He will be, just give him space
Ryan: Mom?
You: What's up bud?
Ryan: Where's Ryker?
You: Right outside. Why don't you go give him a hug?
Ryan: Okay!
He runs outside and Tom cleans up breakfast
You: Haylee?
Haylee: Mom?
You: Are you okay?
Haylee: I know you worry about me mom, but I'm okay. I know Ryker's not though
You: Oh boy. Tom, can you get Liv dressed, please?
Tom: Yeah. Come on you little booger
She screamed as Tom put her over his shoulder
Haylee: Mom?
You: Tell me everything
Haylee: The kids at school are jealous of him. They wish they had his smarts and his looks. He looks like dad and thinks like you mom. The kids don't understand him...they're just so jealous of him
You: I'm not understanding bubba
Haylee: They make fun of him because they're jealous and I don't know what to do. I swore I wouldn't tell you or dad, but I've tried everything, mom
You looked at Haylee and wiped away the tears from her cheeks
You: You're doing the right thing, Haylee. Dad and I can take it from here, okay?
Haylee: Okay mom
You: Why don't you get dressed and you, me, and Liv can go shopping?
Haylee: Sounds fun
You kissed her head before heading out to Ryker and Ryan
You: My favorite boys
Ryan: Mom!
You: You guys okay spending the day with dad?
Ryker: Yeah, we'll have father-son bonding
You: Great. Then next weekend it will be mother-son bonding
Ryan: Yay!
Ryker: Is Caleb staying with us?
You: Yeah bubs. I'm focusing on Haylee and Liv today
Ryker: That's okay
Tom: Told you mommy would be out here
You: There's my little booger
Tom hands her to you while he holds Caleb in his other hand
You: You're like super dad
Tom: That works for me
You: You and I need to talk later Spidey
Tom: Okay. You girls have fun
You: Ready booger?
Olivia: Bye daddy!
She waved after he kissed her head. You gave him a kiss before getting Liv and Haylee in the car
