"Mumma I help?" Atticus questions as he sits on the changing table watching me undress Toby. "How about you watch for now?" Atticus nods and puts his thumb in his mouth as he watches me undress his baby sister. Once she was naked I dump the diaper in the trash can before putting a new one on her. Once the diaper was secure I began dressing her, we were going to head out for the day with Taylor and the twins as they are yet to meet little Toby.

She was now a week old and has been a perfect baby, she hardly cries and loves her sleep which I am absolutely loving. Once Toby was all bundled up I lift her up from the table and carry her over to her crib where I lay her down before walking back over to the changing table where I lift Atticus up and carry him out of the nursery and into his bedroom where I placed him down and undressed him before getting him dressed for the day.

"C'mon let's go get your sister" Atticus grinned and ran out of the bedroom with me following right behind him, I walk into the nursery to see Atty was standing at the crib with his little hands clutching the wooden bars as he looks at his baby sister with a look of love in his eyes. I pull my phone out of my pocket and snap a photo of the siblings before slipping my phone back into my pocket before walking over to the two. 

I stop at the crib and lean in, I lift the baby up off the mattress and hold her against my chest before putting my spare hand down to Atticus. "hold onto mummy's hand" I say and Atty immediately grabbed hold of my hand and we both walked out of the nursery. "Hold on tight" I tell Atticus once we reached the stairs.

The youngster nodded and gripped my hand tighter before we started walking down the stairs, I was taking it really slow because Atticus has never really walked down the stairs and i was quite worried that he'd trip and fall down. We took one step at a time and after a while we finally reached the bottom and Atticus let out a happy squeal. "good job baby' Atticus looks up at me and grins. "I did it mumma" Atty said happily and I give him a smile. "Yeah you did baby, but you gotta be a little more quiet, Toby doesn't like it" The smile on Atty's face dropped as he stared up at me.

"Oh no" He mumbles to himself "I sorry Toby, I be quiet" Atticus tells his baby sister as he reaches up and pats Toby's little sock covered feet as it was the only thing he could reach. "I think she forgives you Atty" Atticus nods his head before turning to the living room where Niall was laying on the couch seeing as he wasn't feeling well.

"go say goodbye to daddy" Atty nods and let's go of my hand before running over to the couch where Niall laid with his arms out awaiting a hug from the youngster. I smile and walk over to Niall as well so I could say goodbye. I let Atticus say goodbye to Niall first before I lean down and give Niall a kiss. "Have fun alright?" Niall tells me as he strokes Toby's cheek. I nod my head and give him another kiss.

"you have fun as well, alright?" Niall chuckles and shakes his head at me. "I'm sure i'll have fun being sick" I chuckle and kiss his head before standing back up straight. "C'mon Atty" I call out noticing Atticus had disappeared, the toddler soon made an appearance from the kitchen with an empty bottle in his hand. "Why do you have a bottle babe?" I question "I want milk too" he whines "We'll get you some milk when we're out" Atty nods and turns around to return the bottle to the kitchen.

I turn the car off once I had parked in the parking lot at the park, Taylor and I had decided to come here so the boys could run off some of their energy while we sat and caught up with everything. I had brought a pram with me just in case because I might want to lay Toby down to deal with something or i dunno, anything could happen. "Can you wait for a little bit while mumma get's everything out?" I question Atticus who nods and continues to hold his baby sister's hand in his while she slept.

I smile at him before climbing out of the car, I shut my door before walking to the rear of the car where I open the boot door before pulling out the folded stroller. I place it down on the ground before setting it up, making sure it was secure before putting the diaper bag in the under catchment. Once I was sure it wasn't going to fall out I close the boot door as quiet as I could before walking around to the side where Toby was.

I pull the door open to see that Atty was still holding onto her hand gently. "Can you let go of sissy's hand for a little bit?" Atticus pouts before letting go of her hand. I thank him before unbuckling the infant, once the straps were out of the way I lift her small body up out of the chair making sure her neck was supported before carrying her to the rear of the car where I had left the stroller. I lay her small body down in the stroller that was padded for a new born. I buckle her in and made sure that the neck supporter was in the right position before going back to shut her door.

After getting Atticus out of the car we start walking through the park to the playground, I had gotten Atty to hold onto the stroller so he wouldn't run off. I don't think he would go far because he always wants to be close to his little sister. He's tried sleeping in her room ever since we've brought her home but we've stopped him.  The playground came into view and I could see the twins pushing each other in the sand. They weren't that hard to spot due to their bright orange bomber jackets. I look down Atticus to see he had looked up at me with a pleading look on his face.

"Go on" He grins and let's go of the stroller and took off running towards the playground, but about a few meters away he stopped before turning back and came running back towards me. I stop in confusion and watch as the toddler stops at the stroller and stands on his tippy toes so he could reach into the stroller. He reaches up to Toby's head and places a delicate kiss on her forehead before whispering a quiet 'I love you' before he took off running towards the playground again.
