Zander woke up in his small toddler bed and sat up.
He rubbed his eyes as he let out a small yawn.
He put his little hands on the side of the bed as he began to climb down.
Eventually he landed on the floor. He used his hands to stand himself up.
He reached behind him and pulled up his hood to his panda onesie, it was his favourite one, his mother tried to dress him in it as much as she possibly could.
She had to go into work today. Usually she would work from home, but apparently the office had needed her that day.
Zander stumbled over to the door as he tried to reach the door handle, he couldn't.
He pouted as he jumped to reach it but failed.
He walked to the other side of the room to grab and drag a stool his mother would sit on when reading him a story. He brought it over to the door and struggled a bit to climb it, although eventually he managed to stand up on it and open the door.
"Daddy!!" He called as he ran over and hugged his dads legs. He was gently shoved off as his father walked away to the kitchen.
Confused, Zander followed after him.
Oh! He was on the phone! Zander just walked away.
After a while his father came out the kitchen, almost immediately getting annoyed.
"Alexander!" He raised his voice causing the baby to look up. He was sitting on the floor playing with blocks that had animal patterns on them.
"You're making a mess!"
Zander looked around. There was no mess.. he only had two blocks to add onto his pyramid..
Nonetheless he stayed silent as he began to clutch onto the lower torso part of the onesie.
"You don't get it do you!? You don't clean after yourself! You always leave it to me or Shannon!"
"..Shannon..?" The two year old pondered.
"Shannon! Your mum!" He shouted.
"Oh.. Mamas teaching me how to clean up.." he muttered as he looked down at his hands.
"Just take your shit to your room. I don't want to see it out again. Understood?"
Zander nodded as his father scoffed and left.
Zander looked at his pyramid that he spent ages trying to work into colour code. Now he'd have to do it all over again.
He pouted as he put them away in their respective box, and crawled up the stairs.
