No Naps
"What's wrong with Dil?" Drew asked as he entered the house with Angelica, her activity bag slung over her shoulder. In the kitchen he could hear Dil screaming up a storm.
"He got a hold of Tommy's sippy cup last night. Got him all wet and still managed drank some of it. Poor guy got an upset tummy."
~MC~MC~MC~
Dil screeched even as his mommy tried to rock him, his stomach clenching in pain. This was all Tommy's fault for not thinking ahead! He should have known Dil would want his sippy cup and made sure there wasn't anything yucky in it! But there was and now it felt like his entire body was being turned inside out and then sent into his diapee!
This is why he was better than his brother… his milk didn't make tummies hurt!

"And then he kept most of us… up." Stu yawned.
"You sure you guys are up for watching the kids?" Drew asked, concerned.
"I'm fine," Stu said. "I'll grab a nap with the kids. And besides I want to spend some time with Angelica testing out my new toy."
"I'm special," Angelica chirped.
Drew, confirming one more time that Stu was fine, headed out, leaving Stu to sit with Angelica on the couch while the babies played. "Okay, so I designed this ball to play music and light up. I want you to play with it a bit and then tell me what you like about it and what you don't. And then-" he winked, "-after our naps I'll let you try destroying it."
"Destroying it?!" Angelica gasped. "But why?"
"So I can figure out how to make it even BETTER." Stu smiled and Angelica, after a moment, beamed back.
"I wish we could play with that toy," Chuckie said, watching Angelica and Stu.
Tommy though shrugged. "My daddy makes me toys all the time, Chuckie. I don't mind letting Angelica play with this one." Because his mommy and daddy kept Dil in their room he had gotten a decent night's sleep.
And with that the babies settled about continuing to play, the only time they were distracted being when Didi walked by with a still crying Dil.
On the plus side… Dil never tried to steal Tommy's sippy cups again.
