Baby Care Package
~Not~
Watching the small child, Ichimaru in truth did not like the fact that Toshiro had yet to walk or say his first word. Something told him that the small tyke should be doing both of these things by now, yet the child simply continued to crawl around the place. It was almost as if the small babe was behind, yet Gin knew how intelligent Toshiro was.
It also wasn't that he was worried that something was wrong with his son. Despite Toshiro not being where he needed to be, Ichimaru felt that there could never be anything wrong with this child. He also understood that no one was perfect and everyone was different, something he learned early on when he was growing up.
He tried saying many different words, getting Toshiro to watch his mouth, but the small babe began to become frustrated with the game for some reason, which in turn frustrated Gin. His mother watched from the side, watching carefully. "It will come with time, sweet heart."
"I know... you've told me that many times. Doesn't change the fact that I feel impatient about the situation." The young man stated.
"Why not work with him on walking then?" The woman asked. "Hold his hands and walk behind him."
At that, Gin glanced at the small tyke and then stood up. He picked Toshiro up and set him on his feet, only to have the child plop down, laughing as he did so. Ichimaru let out a sigh and picked the child up under his arm pits and held him physically up. The small child began to move his feet, stumbling big time.
Granny laughed at the frustration on his face. "You need to understand he need to build up his strength. I'd do more with him, but I can only hold him up for so long of a period of time."
"Sorry." Ichimaru closed his eyes.
"Don't be. That child is a light in my life, making it so that I have something to look forward too each day. I also look forward to your visits." The woman watched the young male flinch, unable to say anything.
