"Teddy please let me put your socks on"

He shakes his head no smiling at me and crawls off to hide behind the chair

"I got sweets"

No response, damn it he knows my only trick. I walk to behind the chair and he immedietly crawls off whilst laughing. This is in no why funny, why are kids so frustrating on times? It's been a whole hour trying to get these bloody socks on him.

"It appears that you seem to be having some trouble there"

"Some? It's been a full hour now"

"Here, let me try" Harry smiles taking the socks off me and walking over to Teddy's new hiding spot.

He talks to Teddy then a few minutes later he returns holding Teddy who finally has the red socks on his feet.

"What? How?"

"It was easy"

"Only cause you're his favourite"

"I am not, there was that one time where he wouldn't leave you alone always wanted cuddles"

"He was sick with the cold. That doesn't count"

"Anyway now he has his socks on which I managed to do very easily may I add are you ready to go?"

"No you may not add and yes I am ready"

We make sure we have everything then we leave and after a short walk we arrive at the lake. Teddy's latest obsession is ducks so I thought it would be nice to take him to the lake and let him feed them and it's an excuse for me to see the ducks too.

"Throw the bread Teddy" I smile as I kneel down with my arm around him to keep him from falling in the lake

Teddy throws some of the bread onto the water and laughs as he watches the ducks swim to find a piece and begin to eat the bread.

"Harry stop taking pictures" I warn as I see a flash from the corner of my eyes

"I can't help it, you two just look so happy and cute"

I roll my eyes and continue to help Teddy feed the ducks.

"I can't believe you managed to get him into Ducks as well"

"I played no part in his latest obsession"

"Oh no, you just bought him a load of Ducks for the bath, stuffed Ducks to sleep with oh and made up a bedtime story about a Duck called Bob"
