little: yuta
caregiver: johnny and taeyong
yuta was running around the house upstairs, the boys being able to hear him from the main floor.
johnny decided to go see what he was doing so he went up the stairs to find the little sitting at the top of them. the boy had his stuffies all lined up along the railing looking over the living room.
"whatcha doing, baby?"
yuta looked up at him and smiled. he signaled for his caregiver to step over the stuffed animals to get to where he was, johnny doing so.
"yuta pway wif 'tuffies! they have party dada!"
johnny smiled at the little and sat down next to him. yuta put a whale on johnnys lap and watched very carefully to see what the older male would do with his favorite stuffed animal.
"isn't this your favorite stuffie sweetheart? don't you want him?"
yuta shook his head. "whale wan' dada! yuyu have walwus!"
the walrus stuffed animal was now clutched against yutas chest, being cuddled by the little.
"dada can play for a few minutes but i have to help daddy make dinner soon bubs."
the little was confident he could help make dinner. he crawled closer to johnny and looked up at him innocently.
"i hewp daddies? whale hewp too!"
the older of the two ruffled the boys hair and nodded. "sure baby. let's go down now though so we can wash hands and get the stuff out. grab your whale, dada will carry you."
yuta did as he was told. he picked up his stuffies and moved them to the side before making sure his whale was with him and he made grabby hands as he waddled towards johnny.
johnny cooed and picked his baby up, carrying him downstairs to the kitchen. taeyong smiled when he saw the two, giving the little a kiss on the cheek.
"hi baby. are you and whale gonna help daddies make dinner?"
the little nodded, making his whale nod as well. to say the least, yuta was just excited that he got to help his caregivers make dinner.
yuta was in the middle of helping with dinner when he saw taeil walk into the living room. the little dropped his spoon and ran over to the couch so he could sit with the oldest member.
"illie! yuta an' whale wan' sit wif you!"
taeil just chuckled and pulled the boy into his lap so he could cuddle him for a few minutes. that only lasted half the time he was hoping though, taeyong calling everyone for dinner.
the ended up eating outside because the weather was really nice. yuta insisted his whale sit in the middle of the table because "he is part of the family too".
taeyong gave up on telling the little to take his stuffed animal off the table as soon as the tears came. they knew he was getting sleepy so they just calmed him down and let him keep his buddy there. it wasn't hurting anything so they let it slide.
