The Toddler's POV:
5 minutes later...
I got through eating my food.
"Very good, Toddler. I'm so proud of you." Captain Man said, praising me for a job well done.
I then began to giggle a little bit.
Right after Captain Man got up to go throw the empty baby food jar away, into the trashcan, he came back over to me and he began to help me get unstrapped from the booster seat.
Right after I was unstrapped from the booster seat, Captain Man began to take off my bib that had the yellow duck on it.
Just when he did that, I began to yawn.
"Toddler, are you getting tired?" Captain Man asked as he lifted me up from the booster seat and into his arms.
All of a sudden, that sleepy feeling began to go away.
"No, Captain Man. I'm not getting tired. Please put me down." I said, in a cranky tone because I was really wanting that sleepy feeling to come back.
"Okay, Toddler." Captain Man said, in a warning tone as he placed me on to the floor, like I requested him to do.
Captain Man's POV:
As I was watching the Toddler, I heard the Toddler yawn again and then, he began to lay down on the floor.
Just when I saw him on the floor, almost about to close his eyes, I ran to him as quick as I could and I then picked him up off of the ground.
"Captain Man, what are you doing? Put me down!" The Toddler said, in an angry voice.
"You're getting sleepy, Toddler!" I said, in a concerned tone.
"No I'm not!" The Toddler said, in an argumentative and cranky voice.
"Yes you are, Toddler!" I said, in a argumentative tone.
"No I'm not. I was just... doing curl ups." The Toddler said, making up an excuse, knowing that I knew what he was truly doing.
"Your eyes were almost closed." I said, provingly.
"So?" The Toddler said, in a smart tone.
"So that means that you're getting sleepy, Toddler. I saw you lying on the floor. Since you've almost fell asleep on me and... heck, you're doing it now." I said as the Toddler's head was going down and as his were closing on their own.
The Toddler's POV:
As I was about to fall asleep, I began to fight it, trying to get my eyes to open but, they were dwindling shut. I had to give in.
Captain Man's POV:
As I saw the Toddler steadily falling asleep, I saw that his body was about to fall on to the floor.
When the Toddler was just about to drop to the floor, I caught his body, just in time.
I then held him in my arms, with his head on my right shoulder.
As I was holding him, Henry came over to me.
"So, um, Ray, where are we going to put the Toddler since he's getting tired?" Henry asked.
"Do you see that playpen over there near the elevator?" I asked Henry as I was holding the Toddler.
"Yes." Henry said.
Then, me and Henry walked side by side over to the playpen that was right behind the couch and just as soon as we got over there, the Toddler was crying in his sleep.
"Shhh...Shhh. Toddler, it's okay. It's alright. I've got you. You're safe." I said as I was comforting him.
Just as I comforted him, he fell right back to sleep.
Right after he fell asleep, I placed him down gently into the playpen and after I did that, I watched the Toddler as he was sleeping.
"You sure like the Toddler, don't you?" Henry asked as we were both leaning over the railing of the playpen, watching the Toddler sleep.
"Yes, Henry. I do now." I said as I leaned over the railing of the playpen and I began to pet the Toddler's hair.
(Aw. That last part was so cute. Toddlers do get that way when one adult announces the word "Nap time". But, Captain Man kept it cool since he now has feelings for the Toddler. What's going to happen next? Well, you'll find out in the next chapter so, stay tuned. Continue to review. Thanks :-)
