Chapter 2: Work, Work, Work

Ironically enough, Angelica and Quinton got up at the exact same time. I mean the exact same time. Their movements were completely synchronized. It was slightly creepy, to be honest.

While the two of them took care of their needs, going to the bathroom and eating breakfast and showering, I made a simple setup for Angelica’s daycare. A basic teddy bear, the two adult skill toys, and a toy box. Pretty plain, but we didn’t need much more than that. (I actually added a high chair in the corner and a potty chair by the kitchen area after I took this photo, but you’ll see them in more photos.)

With nothing much to do before work, Angelica watched some TV (of course it was Romantic TV) and I sent Quinton to collect a giant rock out back of their house. It was a space rock, and he identified it as “Brachinite”.

Finally, Quinton’s carpool arrived. But, of course, since the closest route to the road was approximately 20 feet away from the car… he took a taxi instead. Love me some Sims 3 logic.

An hour later, right on schedule, our first two parents arrived: Pip Goodfellow with Fawn and Linda Rodgers with Sophie. I think it’s very ironic that here we have a fairy parent with a human toddler and a human parent with a fairy toddler. (After looking up the two families on the wikia, apparently Fawn is technically supposed to be Linda’s and Sophie is supposed to be Pip’s! How ironic that these two are our first customers!)

Warning: Prepare. Incoming toddler spam.

And here I see the Daycare system at work for the first time. When Linda put down Sophie, she apparently needed a diaper change, so I took care of that.

Fawn headed straight for the peg box. Angelica took care of Sophie’s Hygiene, Social, and Hunger needs.

Poor Fawn was a little lonely, so Angelica came over and snuggled with her. (So cute!) She then let Sophie out of the highchair. She was not happy about Fawn’s newfound love of the xylophone.

Just a bunch of cute toddler pictures. 🙂

They were finally both in a “good” mood, so I let Angelica take care of her needs a little. Quinton was on his way home too.

Quinton got home, grabbed some dinner, and then headed back out. During work he got the “Election Check” opportunity, so I got it out of the way.

Finally, it was time for the little ones to head home. Toddler collection! I got rid of the highchair since I can feed them on the floor faster, and the potty chair since I didn’t need it. We’ll see if that last one is a mistake. I also sold the teddy bear since nobody touched it…

I decided to have Angelica and Quinton try for baby as soon as Quinton got home.

While I waited, I had Angelica chat with the one person she knew outside of the toddlers and her husband: Cari Kendall, the mascot. I had nothing else for her to do…

Finally, Quinton got home. Customary cuddle, kiss, make out…

Look away, children!

…and the tired couple went straight to sleep. (Quinton continues to dream about money.) I had my sound turned off at the time, so I wouldn’t have heard the jingle if she got pregnant. We’ll have to find out the old-fashioned way! Thanks for reading, everyone!
