Fortification

I didn't see them for a little bit- but eventually they came back in with a few boxes. Then going back out to even grab more. The whole morning was spent putting together various items that was bought and decorating the room. As it was coming together, Jenny would go over to the computer and add something else that she thought he might need.

After all the big stuff was put together, Jenny decided that she wanted to surprise Brandon and kicked him out; telling him to go watch TV. Brandon grabbed me and took me with him. I was surprised- she didn't tell him to do that. He grabbed a half full bottle from the table too- turning on the tv. He couldn't change the channel, the tv required a passcode to do that, so he watched cartoons.

Eventually, she called him back into his room- so we went in. It wasn't terribly different- she told him that if the next ten days went well, so would repaint and get even more stuff for it. She was proud of herself.

The bed was made, I noticed that bedrails were added to the bed. They were small, but would provide some protection- not quite as good as higher ones or a crib. The dressers were moved out of the closet and put together with a new cabinet. On top there was a crib sized mattress with a princess cover, and a railing on top of the cabinet. She told him to climb up, pointing to a pink step stool. He climbed on top and laid down, barely hanging his feet over the side. She reached into a drawer and started to undress him.

I noticed a toy bin in the closet, where the dressers used to be. The curtains were changed into princess curtains. Next to the makeshift changing area, was a diaper pail. It had unicorns on it. My nightlight I got, was plugged into the wall opposite the bed.

She was dressing Brandon, putting a shirt on him. She then lifted his legs and snapped what I now realized as a onesie on him. She put socks on his feet and had him get down. She showed up to some of his new toys and they played.

She told him that she was going to take a shower and that if he wanted anything specific for his room, she already had things in the cart and he should add things. He didn't even move over to the computer- he just kind of sat there, doing nothing. Eventually she came back in, in just a towel. She took her towel off and got clothes on- before taking him by the hand and leading him out of the room for lunch.

That's when I made my way for the computer. I looked through her cart. She had decorations and such but the two things that caught my eye: an oversized teddy bear and a monitor. I may have a new companion but I also needed to find ways to be more stealthy.

I didn't feel like I had enough experience and that Brandon was comfortable enough for Jenny to think he bought a costume for me- so I had to wait. I climbed back into bed, resting for the next night.
