Fourtris:Let Her Go

Ch.3:Getting use to parenting

"Ok!Come on!Bed time!"

Tyler and Toby keep running around my apartment.

I sigh,"I wonder how mommy ever handled you..."

It's already 10:25 at night.I had already set up their cribs in the extra room I have,so they have somewhere to sleep.I also set up all the other things I had bought for them from the baby store.

They are now ready to live a life with me.

Tyler and Toby are already in their onesie pajamas,I think that's what they're called.They are very hyper right now.They keep running around my apartment,screaming and squealing.

I see Tyler trying to get on the coffee table.

My eyes widen,"No Tyler!"I run over to him.I pick him up.I hold him out in front of me,"No climbing on stuff."

He laughs.He looks adorable when he laughs,his nose scrunches up.

I smile and kiss his head.I lean him against my shoulder.

"Ok,"I say,"Where's your brother?"

"Da!"

I turn around and see Toby.His face is smeared with brown icing.

My eyes widen again,"Toby?What did you do?"

He laughs and points to the kitchen.

I walk over to him.I lift him up and lean him against my other shoulder.

I walk into the kitchen.I look at my fridge.Its open.I frown and walk over to it.

I look down and see my dauntless cake on the floor.

I start getting tears in my eyes,"My dauntless cake...."

Toby squeals and claps his hands together.

I sigh,"What am I going to do with you two?"

Toby wipes his hand on his face,getting chocolate on them.He then puts his hand on my cheek,smearing chocolate on me.

He laughs,squealing,"Da dirty!"

Tyler squeals and claps his hands together.

I try my very best not to lose it,"Ok...daddy has to put you two to bed."

I walk out of the kitchen.I walk over to their room.

I open the door to their room.I walk in.I walk over to Tyler's crib.I set him in.

He stands up in his crib.He smiles at me,"Da sleepy?"

I nod,"Daddy is sleepy,so you should sleep too."

He smiles,"I sleep."

I kiss his head and lie him down.I grab his blanket and put it over him.

I smile down at him,"Nighty night Tyler."

His eyes start to get droopy.

Once they close,his breaths become even,and I know he's sleeping.

Toby frowns,"Me sleep da?"

I nod,"But we need to clean you first."

I walk out of their room.I walk over to the restroom.I go in and sit Toby down on the closed toilet seat.He kicks his feet back and forth.

I turn around and face the bathtub.I turn on the shower head.I cover the drain hole of the tub so it can fill up with water.

I turn back around and go over to Toby.I kneel down in front of him,so we can be eye-level.
