Welcome back! Last update, there was mainly a round of birthdays, with Enzo aging to elder, Abi aging to young adult, and both Nel and Amy aging to teens. An heir poll was had… and then I procrastinated on updates because I was busy playing. So. Time to see what our little name droppers got up to next (and see who won that heir poll!) Let’s hop in with a sim check, shall we?

Ratna’s in a bit of a bummer mood, but Enzo is finding ways to cheer her up.

Jonas calls Rue up and invites her out on a date, interrupting my sim check. We go ahead and go. It doesn’t take long to have a successful date and they’re adorable together.

Back at home, Abi has not bothered to change out of her pj’s (same) and is chatting up her man, Matthieu.

Ah, Tex is our combo breaker. LOL He’s not actively hanging with his significant other. He’s wrapping up a fierce diary sesh about how tense he was because she wasn’t around. (Seriously, first Jealous sim I’ve ever had and is that the Most Annoying Trait Ever? I love Tex but he’s constantly tense.)

Back on the couple train, Nel is in the backyard locking things down with Arjun.

And Amy brought Nico home from school so they chat a while before whipping out their homework.

Jonas comes to visit Rue and I let them have a little fun.

Ratna heads out to serenade Enzo. He swoons.. or his heart’s getting weak in his old age.

And then Ratna rolls the whim to get engaged to Enzo. I had completely forgotten these two weren’t married yet. Ratna is supposedly a family-oriented sim, so I decided early on I’d hold off until she wished for it…and then she just never did. LOL Welp, no time like the present. She drops to one knee by the.. culvert? (what is that. It’s too man-made to be a stream), and asks him to marry her. He says yes. I do not get a picture of the acceptance because…

…I was busy getting a picture of this confetti in the bathroom.

Rue heads down to let Jonas know things are progressing a little quicker than they might have imagined on the family front. He seems largely ambivalent.

She also let her mom know that she would soon be a grandma. Ratna is stoked.

(Incidentally, this does not mean Rue is heir. I want each of the kids to have at least one kiddo, and I don’t trust SP to make it happen.)

The girls have a full day of work. Abi arrives home with a promotion, Rue arrives home with a backache and larger belly. And up on the porch in the background is Susie.

She’s here in time to celebrate Tex as he ages to young adult!

And here’s the middle kid and sole male of this generation as a young adult. He managed to get all 5 positive character traits, and rolled randomly to add to his previous traits of Bookworm and Jealous.

Nel had a pretty sad day at school.

Amy’s wasn’t too great either. Diaries for both.

Then a call came for Amy from a schoolmate, inviting her to their birthday party. She said yes, and drug along most of her sisters too (Nel was sleeping.)

Abi and Mathieu mostly ignored the party to stand out on the porch, flirting. I’ll allow it.

Amy was happy to chat up Madison though. And aw, Madison is lovely. If I hadn’t already paired off Tex, this gal would be his. Ah well, perhaps she will bring forth beautiful spawn that can be married in next generation. Get crackin, Maddy. Uh, I mean.. happy birthday!

We did not get to finish the party however, because Rue was definitely getting a move on in the “bring forth spawn” department.

She checked in.. and then decided she was gonna just grab a bite to eat before having that kid.

Oh, and also a relaxing nap face-first on the floor.

Eventually she gets up and waddles in for the baby extraction procedure. She looks to be very wary.

Oh. Possibly because with that intern at the controls, it is her HEART that has been extracted instead. Not to worry, it’s quickly shoved back into place (more or less) and an ample amount of super glue is applied.

Second time is the charm and a lovely baby girl is successfully extracted. Welcome, Roxanne! (First R name to be randomized… So here we have the official announcement that Rue is a spare. Spare’s children will still follow the name, but won’t have to have three letters. Anything more tangentially related to the family, I won’t bother with following the name theme at all.)

Back at the house, Abi is trying to get some work done on the computer, Ratna is distracting chatting with her, and Enzo is being the worst mentor ever as he laughs at Nel’s possible concussion. (I laughed too, but I wasn’t mentoring her.)

Blah blah, bassinets are more boring than burritos.. so Roxanne is aging up!

Aww, what a doll.

Aaand then a UFO shows up. Enzo goes out to check out the lights and gets sucked up.

Finally they bring him back as the sun rises.

Nel & Tex continue to gravitate towards hanging out together.

With the official result of Rue being a spare decided, we throw a wedding to get her married off.

This is Juliet, Jonas’ sister (so the bride’s soon-to-be sister-in-law.) She showed up to the wedding in white. Rude.

Rue doesn’t care though. She outshines Juliet anyway. LOL She grabs a selfie with her man while their baby girl watches.

They really are a cute little family.

But it’s time to set Roxanne down so they can say their vows.

She is not thrilled with this development.

Man and wife.

Just a couple shots of Rue & Jonas being lovey while Roxi watches with approval.

And one last shot of Roxanne before the new Villa family is moved out. I already miss not having a toddler. Ha!

So who IS the heir you ask? Nel pulled ahead in the last couple days of the poll, so she’ll be our heir. She looks unimpressed with this news.

And Amy is unimpressed as well, when she gets back from her babysitting job where Ellie is apparently a little hellspawn.

Awww, Ratna and Enzo, still so cute!

And love must be in the air, because both Abi and Tex are feeling flirty with their mates.

Tex and Susie are getting pretty serious. He drops to one knee and asks her to marry him.

She says yes to the rock (and to Tex).

Abi and Mathieu, meanwhile, are getting serious in a totally different way. *hehe*

But when they’re done, they also get engaged.

Amy is promoted, but STILL not a fan of her babysitting charge.

Abi and Mat head out on a date.

They opt for a quick and quiet elopement while they’re out.

And with that, the new Mrs. Gauthier moves out.

The next day, a party is thrown at the house for these two.

They take a moment upstairs in bed lol, then head down to the arch to say their vows.

And with that, Tex moves out with his wife into the Pancakes household.

Our own household now feels tiny with just Enzo, Ratna, Nel, and Amy in it. Next time will be the start of Gen 2 as we find out officially who our heir is. (It was a close one. Everyone got at least one vote, and for a long while things were tied.)

Well, I’m feeling decidedly uncreative today, so we’ll just dispense with the intro here. Get ready for some birthdays, and some urging to vote in the heir poll. (Seriously, vote. I hate decisions.) To start us off.. sim check!

Ratna’s gettin’ her ginsu on. She’s officially reached max level of cooking, and is making her way up gourmet cooking as well (5? 6?)

It’s a Monday, but school was not kind to these two. I call this “Nelancholy and the Infinite Sad Tex”

Amy’s doing great though, AND she brought Nico home from school. She ropes him into helping her with her project. Social time AND gettin’ those grades up. I like your efficiency, girl.

Enzo is still working on that fitness skill. I believe he’s at 9 now.. not sure how he’s not maxed. He autonomously works out all the darn time.

Rue’s taking a moment to tend the garden.

And Abi’s hanging out with her dad, building her video game skill while he appears to be saying fatherly things.
Johnny: “Tell him if he ever hurts my baby girl, he’ll be lookin’ at the business end of a shotgun.”
Abi: “Da-ad. Seriously. I got this. If he hurts me, I’ll just hack his social media. His rep will be toast.”

Rue wanted in on the workout action, so Enzo hopped off the treadmill to train on the proper form. If I was that punching bag, I’d be scared. Check out that girl’s Look.

Tex and Nel have cheered up now. I love their smiling faces.

And it’s a big day.. Abi’s birthday!

Possibly even more lovely, and she adds Good to her trait list.

The next day, Ratna arrives home from work with a raise. Doesn’t she look… proud…? That’s not how you do a proud face, honey. Ah, whatever. At $128/hr, you’re the highest paid retail worker around. Cross your eyes if you want.

Enzo gets home and is not amused. Neither am I.. still no promotion. I thought for sure today. Ugh.

On her walk around the neighborhood gathering things, Ratna notices that she can “Explore” that weird tree she’s been watering. Woot! Let’s go!

Oh. Maybe I should have checked her needs first. Oh well, too bad. We’re here now.. you’re exploring this place.

After trying (and failing) to find frogs, she decides to fish at the base of the waterfall.

She catches something! I mean, it’s just a trout, but still.. she looks so pretty! Who looks pretty while fishing? Ratna, that’s who.

Back home, Tex is posing for the camera again. I contemplate renaming him Flex, but that would break the rules. 😉 So instead I decide he’s going to get a Simstagram.

And it’s Nel’s birthday!

Aw, and she grew up just lovely!!

The first thing she does is let me know that she’s STARVING. Hold on, Nel. Put candles back on that cake, then you’re free to get real food.

Love her smile. She adds Neat to her Loner trait, and picks up the.. um, the plant aspiration. (Sorry, not remembering what that one’s called!) If she ends up heir, I’m sure I’m having her buy a store and set it up as a gardening shop.

We needed that cake to stay intact for this reason – it’s Enzo’s birthday too!

Check out that silver fox. 😉

Tex and Nel continue to be possibly the closest of all the siblings. They pair off a lot. 🙂

Ratna brings a stack of dirty dishes to bed with her.

And then breaks her arm in the effort of keeping crumbs out of the bed. LOL She popped out of bed only to get right back in. This cycled through about three times before she finally set the dishes down on the nightstand before climbing in bed. So weird.

And there’s that promotion! Still.. he’s at level 7, so I’m not holding my breath that he’s going to max the career (there are 10 levels, right? I’m assuming so.)

OMGoodness, everyone congregated in one room! Family picture!

Tex invited Susie over. He snapped a selfie (a togetherie?) with her, because of course he did.

After a bit more conversation, and finding out officially that she was single, Tex laid some moves on her.

Awww.. a rose…

Attempt at first kiss is a success!

And his reaction was to be expected by now. Seriously, I know he has the painter aspiration but if he’s heir, he’ll be building his photography too.

And they make it official, and then engage in some joint squealing over that fact. I leave them to it.

And this is what maximum Charisma looks like.. meaning Miss Rue has officially achieved her first aspiration of Friend to the World. She randomly gets assigned the Soul Mate aspiration next. I figure after focusing her social times on everyone in the world, she’ll be ready to focus just on her man Jonas.

Amy’s invited Nico over to hang out some more because…

….it’s her birthday!

Aw, and she’s pretty too! She gets Clumsy to go along with her Outgoing trait. I eeny-meeny her up an aspiration, and homegirl wants to be Fabulously Wealthy.

I of course have aged up Nico too, and I get them set to take a pic together. Enzo decides that he Just. Can’t. Even. with his baby growing up, and he tries to crawl into her soul. Photobombing, level 100.

Still, these two are super cute together. 🙂

And now.. updates are all caught up to gameplay, while I figure out who to have for heir. I love them all. If you haven’t already, go vote in the heir poll on Boolprop. Or just comment which one here. Or if you feel really strongly, do both. ROFL

Here they are in the pics they have taken with their partners:

Rue Scott & Jonas Villa

Abi Zest & Mathieu (?Gauthier?)

Tex Patil & Susie Pancakes

Nel Renteria & Arjun Peters

Amy Renteria & Nico Caliente

Yes, the five kids have four different last names. I tried to remember to give each kid dad’s last name, but I forgot for Tex. (Poor middle kid lol) When I realized it, I decided I rather liked him having mom’s last name, so I left it.

Fun fact: With any of these pairings, there will be at least one premade grandparent for any resulting nooboos. Rue is Travis Scott’s daughter, Abi is Jonny Zest’s daughter, Tex’s gal Susie is Bob & Eliza Pancakes’ oldest, Nel’s guy Arjun is Don Lothario’s son, and Amy’s guy Nico is the son of…well, one of the Caliente sisters. lol I didn’t actually look to see which.

Okay, like I said, go vote! (Or comment your choice here. I’ll leave it open for input through May 4.)

Last update brought us to an officially toddler-free household, as Abi aged up to teen and Nel and Amy both aged to children. They grow up so fast. *sniff* We’re in for a couple more birthdays in this update, and even more in the next one, which will officially bring about an heir poll. For now, let’s get to the simming!

We start right where we left off last time – Monday evening. Rue, Abi, Tex, and Nel all brought home projects. A parent was on hand to help out the younger three, but Travis has gone back to not showing up for Rue. Not to worry though, Amy may have literally JUST had her birthday (thus why she doesn’t have a project of her own), but she’s more than happy to help out her biggest sis. Fun note: Amy does most of the work, while Rue just chats with everyone. lol

The two little girls kept shooting each other looks that slayed me.

Our lovely teen ladies.

Though the first to finish was my man Tex.

Aw, look! The closest I’ve ever gotten to a family dinner! Only missing Rue. (No idea why they all decided to skip the dining table this time around.)

Rue was in the next room, finishing up a bit of studying.

Awww, Ratna and Amy became besties! ❤

Abi meanwhile is busy flirting it up with Mathieu. Aw, and look through the window! Good ole Don Lothario brought along his son..

..this is Arjun, and he and Nel are working on becoming buds out here.

And not to leave our youngest out, this is Nico Caliente and he and Amy are hitting it off rather well.

Tex had been chatting with someone and then I saw this lovely young redheaded teen and drug him over here to introduce himself, stat. Lo and behold, she is a Pancake! These younger three are nailing it with finding possible future mates with fun (for me) lineage.

And now the first of our babies is aging up to a young adult!

Congrats, Rue! You look… pretty much the same as before. LOL She adds Goofball to her Athletic and Perfectionist traits (and because I can’t remember if I mentioned it, she aspires to be a Friend to the World.) She managed to get 4 out of 5 of the character traits, I think missing out on Empathy.

And this is her future spouse, Jonas Villa. He’s been a young adult for a few days now, so he’s pretty excited to see his bestie has grown up a cutie.

We waste no time and head out on a date to kick that relationship up to the level we hadn’t quite made during the teen years.

And then Rue’s dad Travis creeps along in the background as his baby girl gets some sugar from her man. LOL He picks the oddest times to show up.

Back at home, we’ve got another birthday. Tex takes a deep breath, blows out the candles and..

..oh. Oh honey, no. Just no.

He don’t mind it though, as he immediately flexes for a selfie in his weird military-meets-surfer styled outfit.

But I mind it, so off to style my cutie I go.

Fortunately he’s just as happy with this outfit. LOL I was half the self-confidence that Tex has.

Another day and Jonas calls Rue up to meet him for a date. Things are going well.

Really well. Like they’re just too cute for words.

So while no one is yet the heir, I let Rue lock this boy down. There will be no story progression snatching him up. Uh, I mean.. look, romantic!

He accepts.And they seal the deal with a kiss. Then it’s back home, as she’s got a while to wait before she can marry. (I won’t marry anyone until heir has been decided, because once I move them out, that’s it.)

Back at home, Tex is getting a bit of mentoring from Enzo on the only skill Enzo cares about. LOL

Nel is patiently learning to say Sorry, though she looks like she’s just tuned mom out and is nodding now and then.

Amy’s autonomously taking out the trash, because she’s no fool and knows a quick way to raise favor with me.

Ratna’s birthday!

Nel comes along to celebrate her venture into adulthood.. where she looks no different.

Amy takes advantage of Nel bringing Arjun home from school with her and sets about making him her friend as well. She just needs one more friend for that milestone to be completed.

Abi is set to wandering the neighborhood and finding people who are in a bad mood so she can raise Empathy.

Level 8 charisma looks like this! After this, Rue is set loose to make friends.

Nel meanwhile, nailed down her Rambunctious Scamp goal.

Our good buddy Tex, who aspires to be whatever the Painter thing is, is painting.

And I’ll leave you with this adorable shot of the little girls spontaneously hugging after breakfast.

I’ll be getting one more update posted soon that will bring the little girls up to teen as well. But if you know who you want (or want a chance at a spoiler peek at them as teens), you can vote in the heir poll here: Heir Poll on Boolprop

So, last time Ratna & Enzo had babies Tex, Nel, and Amy to join their big (half) siblings Rue and Abi. Then a virus swept the world, the children had to stay home from school, and things just got sort of coo-coo crazy puffs. Oh wait, that last bit was real life, not sims. At any rate, I hope everyone out there is staying safe, and things are finally settling into enough of a routine that I hope I can get back to posting.

Biggest sister Rue is not thrilled with the overflowing potty behind her, methinks, while youngest sister Amy munches a carrot in hopes of getting that plumbob a happier color.

Tex tries to reason with the monster under his bed. It does not work out as he had hoped. I finally remember that darn light after this.

Enzo hanging out on the couch with the two little girls.

I thought this was going to be a fire.. but it appears to just be a broken stove? We take the lazy route and replace it.

It’s Monday, and thus school project day! Rue, Tex, and Abi head to the yard to work on them. Tex flies through his, so I have him do his homework out there too. It’s too sweet to watch them all chatting. My siblings and I never got on this well when doing homework. LOL

And speaking of siblings getting along.. Amy and Nel are busy being the most meltingly adorable toddlers out on the front walk.

Another day, another round of homework.

And another dish left to fester on the dining table.

No homework for Rue yet though. She’s supposed to be taking a jog to clear her mind.. but mainly seems to be using the jog to scowl at things.

The little girls gather on the couch with Ratna to watch TV.. which appears to raise their imagination and communication. Binge-watching doesn’t rot your brain if you’re a sim.

But just in case, Enzo reads his girls to sleep too so that it’s not all screentime 24/7.

The next day the little girls get worked hard. Nel is thisclose to maxing everything, and while she’s a couple days younger, we’re not about to let Amy slack off either.

Besides, napping toddlers gives Ratna the perfect chance to bake up a cake for the actual birthday girl, Abi! Johnny even autonomously came over to visit, so it’s pretty perfect.

He seems a little sad that his baby girl is growing up so fast though.

A lovely young lady though. 🙂 We roll randomly as always and she adds Bro to her Lazy trait. She aspires to be a Computer Whiz.

Just for fun, here’s our big girls now that they’re both teens. And yup, I play with walls down and don’t always remember to switch for pictures.

Amy’s looking delightfully proud of herself. And really, me too. I wish all my sim toddlers were independent. lol

Enzo’s taking a minute to play with Nel before I force her back to wrapping up skills. (She’s had movement done for a while now.)

Ratna’s so pleased. She got to give advice to one of her children for once! Ha. When the school calls, she’s always at work so it’s always Enzo that advises there.. and the kids have tended to go to him as well once he’s home.

Abi settles in to quickly raising that logic skill to 4.

Tex is.. still here. LOL Poor middle child. I forget about him a lot. He’s generally on his violin anymore.

And I’m happy to announce that Nel made the cut for maxing out her toddler skills before her birthday.

Aw, and she’s a cutie too!

Seriously, I’m never going to be able to pick for heir. She rolls Loner as her trait and we give her Rambunctious Scamp for an aspiration since she maxed movement before anything else as a toddler.

Two A students (Rue & Tex), two B students (Abi & Nel, who have tons of time to raise those grades.)

And a promotion for Enzo, bringing him to a personal trainer!

Everyone is gathered in the living room to help Amy along with her skilling. The TV is on for imagination, and a chorus of “Why?” is queued up.

Rue had managed to escape the “Why?” onslaught, but helps out in other ways. 🙂

Definitely a resemblance there. 🙂

Here’s Rue with her mate-to-be, Jonas

And Abi making an “overly attached girlfriend” face at her guy, Mathieu

This all-smiles girl is in the midst of stomping off to her time-out.

Once she gets there, she’s appropriately grouchy about the whole situation. Too bad, Nel. Once you hit school-age, you’re old enough to know not to dump paint on the ground.

Meanwhile our actual toddler is busy being responsible and skilling away, orange plumbob be darned. (I didn’t quite make top-notch with Rue, but I’m determined to with all the others!)

Abi’s applying herself to skilling.. on her video games. Ha.

Rue’s loving Enzo’s new career task of mentoring someone in fitness daily.

Tex is loving his fish and chips. LOL

And Ratna gives the garden love.. at the cost of smelling to high heaven.

Finally, Amy maxed out all her skills! She actually did it faster than any of the others (by a few hours lol). Time for this girl’s birthday!

And here she is! I feel like she’s got a look most “her own” out of her siblings. Eager to see as she grows. She rolled the Outgoing trait and has the Social Butterfly aspiration.

And with officially no more toddlers, I feel like that’s a good time to end that. I’ll have to work on getting an heir poll up soon.. maybe next time? I know Amy at least (maybe Nel too) will still be a child when Rue hits young adult, but I’ll just not move anyone out until heir is chosen.

Last time, our pregnant founder Ratna, toddler Rue, and roommate Enzo decided to move to a bigger place. Baby Abi was born, she and Rue both had birthdays, Abi’s dad visited a bunch, and after much cajoling I was able to convince Enzo and Ratna to be a couple.. resulting in baby T being on the way!

We’ll start this chapter off with Rue working on a school project with both her father figures – Enzo (the one who’s been there since day one, taught her things, fed her, put her to bed, etc) and Travis (the one who donated genetic material and then promptly ghosted until she was in elementary school.)

This is the first time he had called to ask to come over. Not sure that making a castle diorama was what he had in mind. Sorry Travis, around here dads do dad things. Suck it up.

I installed MCCC because while I don’t need open world, I DO love the sims having relationships and families and such so I don’t need to play them all. One of the first sims that the mod decided should be with child was Bella Goth. She is NOT amused. LOL

Is there anything cuter than a toddler learning to dance?

Okay, a toddler and adult playing. *wub*

Johnny came over and so since Abi’s movement was still lagging behind, she asked him to play. He has a much different play style than Enzo. LOL Abi doesn’t seem impressed.

Abi, your daddy always looks so smug. But he does show up, so I suppose I’ll forgive him.

Enzo got a promotion, and he looks to be less than thrilled about it. Too bad, fella.. the extra money is good.

Especially considering that you’ve got another baby on the way. Well.. first one for you technically, but the girls pretty much count as yours too.

And.. it’s a boy this time! Dear readers, meet baby Tex. Babies in TS4 bore me greatly (already), so this is probably the only baby pic you get of him.

I had Abi running around all afternoon to try and get that movement skill maxed. It was the last one she needed. She finally made it!

And so a celebration was set up right there in the yard.

Johnny brought her to the cake to help her blow out her candles.

And she poofed into a lovely young lady right before our eyes! She got the Mental aspiration, and the random trait roll gave her Lazy.

Ta-da! It’s been a day, so I let Tex age up to toddler.

Another day, another pregnancy confirmed. Baby N is on its way!

She tells Enzo, who seems… tentatively happy? LOL Fear not, my man, she’s gonna be doing more with the toddlers. My goal is for her to max the parenting skill.

We’ve reached the point in Rue’s Social aspiration where she needs to make friends with three other kids. My game has no other child-aged sims, so I moved in a couple that just happened to have two children. Ratna took Rue, Abi, and Tex over to meet the new neighbors while Enzo was at work. Rue got right to work.

Everyone had a great time but eventually Tex got tired and cranky so I had Ratna take him back home. I was quite disturbed to see him trying to head back where he came from. Sorry kiddo, there’s a new tenant in that womb.

I thought this was super cute. Abi had been on the porch chatting with her dad when Enzo got home. She stopped her conversation to come down and squeal over seeing him. 🙂

The next morning before school, the girls enjoyed some bonding time.

And some “make fun of adults” time. Spot on, kids.

Cuz your mom at least looks like that pretty often. LOL (Honestly, this is the mommest picture ever.. giantly pregnant, aching back, your own needs ignored, and trying to convince a toddler to use the potty rather than a diaper.)

Homework bonanza with the dads!

Slowly but surely her cooking skill is improving.

The closest I can get to them all having a family meal together. They’re all in the same room anyway. Someone will volunteer to do those dishes soon.

Enzo’s birthday! With bubbles on his age bar, Ratna whipped up a cake cuz he deserves one. Carbs be darned.

And.. still looking good in his full-fledged adulthood.

Also, baby Nel was born. I missed a birth pic, but managed to remember to grab a snap with the doting dad.

Abi is working away at her mental aspiration benchmarks.

And baby Nel is now a toddler!

Starting to look a little crazy around here.. but at least she’s fed.

And why was child #4 being left to make messes, strip naked, and fend for herself? Oh, because this was decided as the perfect timing to get started on #5. At least that’s the final letter for our founder.

Abi finally comes home as an A student, just like her big sister Rue has been. They look pretty pleased with themselves.

Playtime with daddy! Bumping up that movement skill like mad with this one. Her being wild probably helps. LOL The TV is ready and waiting for imagination-and-communication practice someone to sit and watch with Nel afterwards.

It’s been a full day for these little tykes, despite “second wind”ing them several times they’re both in bed asleep by 8.

The big girls stay up a little later, playing some chess.

The next morning brings us the absolute in-your-face adorablness of two toddlers dancing. Wub!

It’s Rue’s birthday!

She grew up prettier than I thought she’d be (I feel like her dad is kinda awkward looking.. lol.. sorry Travis.)

Well, half the family was eating at the same time anyway.

And, time for Tex to grow up! Ratna is about to pop with that baby, and Enzo is still at work, so Rue gets the pleasure of bringing him to the cake.

And I forget to take a good picture of him grown up, so karma rewarded my forgetfulness by making a monster appear under his bed. *sigh* (I also forgot to buy that nightlight. First thing I did after this.)

After me double-checking the rules about whether babies can be aged up immediately, new baby Amy was indeed aged up. I saw no mention of it. I won’t age other stages up early, but babies are fair game. Anyway, here she is, and she’s currently my favorite cuz she rolled Independent. Hallelujah, thank you Jesus.

Ratna: “Welp, looks like my work here is done. Birthed you those five babies.”

Sorry sweet cheeks, you’ve got to RAISE those kids too, so we can figure out who’s next. Should be easy. Your parenting skill is maxed. Get to it!
