Not only did Hermione get called in to work again, but all her maternity leave disappeared. =(
Lulz! Even though she "really did a bad job" she still got a promotion.
When she got off it was time for Regulus tickles! I'm glad Hermione seems to love spending time with her kids.
Cute toddler spam! Sorry not sorry. I can't believe they still don't have toddlers in TS4.
Harry, of course, has been working hard on his garden. I didn't take too many screenshots of it, but he basically spends all day in the greenhouse in between taking care of the kids' needs.
Hermione still gets in her "me" time with a good book despite her two littles.
The first life fruit has been harvested! Harry thinks this is a more humane way to stay alive than siccing a cow plant on the paparazzi, like You-Know-Who might do.
Hermione: Incendio!
Regulus loves to be rocked in the rocking chair. He is always going to the baby monitor and calling someone to "rock with me".
With Regulus' birthday only a few days away, it's time to try for baby number 3!
Hermione got close to another cooking skill point by watching Cooking Cable. She learned the recipe for cookies and then wished to make some, but never did.
Harry finally taught Regulus his last toddler skill. His garden got a little out of control so he was spending too much time trying to keep up. Some of the plants went barren thankfully and I chose not to replant them. At least not until all his kids are out of the toddler stage.
It was perfect timing too, as it was Gilderoy's birthday! I put him in the fanciest toddler clothes I could find. He also got his mom's eye color; I am hoping one of the kids get Harry's green eyes.
Gilderoy was drawn more to the peg box than to the xylophone. Still cute, though!
Looks like the Potter family is going to grow by two feet! It's a good thing too, since all of Harry's wishes are about having a baby. I think he wants twins (both a girl and a boy) but that's not happening if I have anything to say about it.
Harry took a day off from gardening to get all of Gilderoy's toddler skills out of the way. You can see Hermione and Regulus in their normal spot, the rocking chair. Hermione doesn't seem to ever sleep in her bed anymore.
She did take some time off from rocking one of her two boys in order to play a game of chess.
For some reason my life fruit stopped working. He would it eat, but the days he's lived wouldn't go down. I got him one of these Steam-It-Up Sauna's so he could take a "revitalizing mud bath" and take a day off his age that way. It takes longer than eating a piece of fruit does but it works in a pinch.
Gilderoy did finally get to take his turn in the rocking chair. In fact, they seemed to take turns back and forth all.day.long. They used the baby monitor to get Hermione to rock with them so much they wouldn't hardly do anything else. Eventually I took all the baby monitors from the first floor so they couldn't reach them anymore. I don't really need them until like generation six anyway.
Grrr! I'll forgive you I guess, since you're pregnant and all. I know babies like to kick your bladder and stuff. (-5 points)
Hermione: "There were once three brothers who were traveling along a lonely, winding road at twilight. In time, they reached a river too deep to wade through and too dangerous to swim across..."
Happy birthday, Regulus! He rolled Never Nude, which joins Evil and Loves the Cold. I left him in the hair he aged up in, and since I don't know what book!Regulus wore I just gave him Slytherin colors.
While his parents were upstairs with Regulus for his birthday, Gilderoy was downstairs playing with the doll house and xylophone.
The first thing Regulus did after aging up was watch some TV. It must have been the horror channel based on this facial expression!
Regulus is a fan of the Into the Future shower because he doesn't have to take his clothes off.
Let's end this chapter with a loving interaction between brothers. Or at least Regulus is loving the candy he stole from Gilderoy. Gilderoy, maybe not loving it so much.
