Bonus Chapter: A Night with Uncle Robbo and Cody

It was a rare night for Trent and Inés – a date night. As they ventured out to spend some quality time together, they left their bundle of joy, Leo, under the watchful eyes of two trusted figures: Andrew Robertson (Robbo) and Cody Gakpo. The idea was to have a peaceful dinner and enjoy each other's company, but little did they know that Leo had other plans.

As soon as his parents left, Leo's eyes widened with mischief. It was like a switch had been flipped, and he decided it was his time to shine. Robbo and Cody exchanged glances, understanding that they were in for an adventurous night.

Robbo, ever the responsible one, attempted to engage Leo in a game of building blocks. "Hey, Leo, want to build a tall tower with these blocks?" he suggested.

Leo, however, had a different idea. He grabbed the blocks and scattered them across the room, creating a colorful mess. Robbo exchanged a resigned look with Cody, realizing they were dealing with a toddler tornado.

Cody, always up for a challenge, decided to try his luck with art supplies. "How about we draw some pictures, Leo?" he proposed, holding up a coloring book and crayons.

But Leo had his own artistic vision. Instead of coloring inside the lines, he decided to give the entire coloring book a makeover with abstract strokes of crayon, transforming it into a masterpiece of chaotic colors. Robbo and Cody shared a laugh, realizing that Leo's creativity had no boundaries.

As the evening progressed, they attempted a game of "Simon Says," only to discover that Leo had his own set of rules. "Leo says jump on one foot while holding a toy dinosaur in one hand," Cody announced, trying to keep up with the toddler's whims.

By the time Trent and Inés returned, they found Leo happily surrounded by the aftermath of his adventures. Blocks were scattered, crayon marks adorned the walls, and both Robbo and Cody wore exhausted yet amused expressions.

"Looks like you guys had quite the evening," Inés chuckled, surveying the playful chaos.

Robbo grinned. "Your son is a force to be reckoned with."

Trent scooped up Leo, who seemed proud of the mayhem he had orchestrated. "Thanks, guys. We owe you one."

As Robbo and Cody bid farewell, they couldn't help but appreciate the unpredictable joy Leo had brought into their night. And as they left, Leo waved them goodbye, already planning his next adventure with his favorite uncles.
