The Divine Legacy- 8.9
Morning, Oliver. Weird that you're the first one up, considering your a night owl.
There's the others!
Mel: Mom, you put me here and then you didn't give me any food! I'm hungry! Don't eat that cake right in front of me. SHE'S TORTURING ME!
Julia...
Julia: "I'll feed her once I finish."
You have such a nice big sister. Feeding you and stuff..
Raine: "We girls gotta stick together. We're outnumbered by guys."
Yes, but that's how it usually is.
Well, somebody was tired. That's okay. More time for the others' skills.
Like.. potty training!
Jas: So... this is it? This isn't as cool as I thought it be!
Well, Raine, you found an art easel.
Raine: "I'm going to be an artist."
I'm sure you will be, dear.
Julia: "Say anything! Talk!"
Mel: Why?
Jas: Haha! I get to play and you have to sit there with mommy!
Mel: -cries- Mommy, Jas is laughing at me!
Justin seems to have eliminated that issue.
Jas: Dangit, dad. This isn't going to be as boring as potty training is it?
Poor Everett, he's so lonely!
Ev: I'm a loner.
You are? I thought Jas was the loner.
Ev: No, he's excitable and loves the outdoors.
Oh yeah.
Well, Derrick decided that you were too lonely and decided to teach you talking.
Derrick: "Your parents neglect you, don't they?"
Ev: It's better that way. I like being alone.
Derrick: "Well, your uncle will take care of you. Let's get your skills done. You don't want to be remembered for being messed up in the head, do you?
Ev: No sir!
Good job, Julia! You got her to talk!
Mel: "Happy sun!"
Don't you hate the outdoors? Hmm. I don't remember.
Derrick: "This isn't as hard as Justin says it is. I think I've got this."
Ev: "Got this!"
Derrick: "Yeah, you've got an awesome uncle. Can you say awesome uncle?"
Ev: "Awswome uncle!"
Huzzah!
That picture's coming along nicely.
Raine: "Thank you."
Maybe you'll be as great of an artist as May someday.
Raine: "No, I'm going to be better than her."
Dang. You're ambitious.
It seems as though Mel's completed talking and Jasper's almost done with walking. Good job, you two. If only you would pay attention to the other kid. You may have forgotten, but you didn't have twins. You had triplets.
Julia: "Derrick's got him."
Ehhh.
Oh. Potty training's not going well.
Melody: "Mommy, quit it! Let me sleep! LET ME SLEEP!"
Julia: "Please just go, and then I'll put you to bed."
Melody: "NO!!! LET ME SLEEEEEEEEP!"
Julia: "Fine!"
Raine: "Hey mom, how was your day?"
Julia: "It was okay. I got Melody to talk."
Raine: "Congrats!"
Julia: "What did you do today?"
Raine: "I painted. Want to come see?"
Julia: "Sure!"
Hmm. These two are getting along.
WOO! 1 point for team Derrick-Everett! Talking is DOWN!
Everett: "We're the best!"
Derrick: "Yes we are!" -holds hand up for highfive-
Ev: -gives highfive-
I think I like team Derrick-Everett.
Everett: "I don't want to! Feed me! Let me sleep! I'm too tired to pee!"
Derrick: "You'll wet yourself, though."
Everett: "I'm so hungry! I can't pee when I'm hungry!"
Derrick, Julia had this battle with Melody earlier. You aren't going to win. They might be small, but their will is stronger than a grown man's.
Well, somehow everything turned out okay with everyone. This is it. I hope you enjoyed! Justin and Julia are going to grow up soon. O_O
