Milestones galore! Pt 1
While Celeste was learning to love herself, Dylan's household was buzzing with a different level of activity.
Erick had finally worked up the nerve to confess his crush on Takama Aether, and found out that it was mutual! He's not had eyes for anyone else, so will this be a relationship that lasts?
He also got a part time job and was quickly promoted in part due to his cooking skill. He's got home style cooking maxed out, so now he's working on gourmet cooking. Both are needed if he wants to be a food critic, and his Grandpop Darrel recommended learning what he could in advance to make promotions come that much quicker once he was in the career.
Meanwhile, Winter was cruising through her own milestones - though crawling was taking some time. With her birthday coming up, Dylan was taking advantage of his ability to work from home to spend time working with her.
And it was paying off! Winter especially seemed to enjoy standing up and dancing [her dancing was so cute!!].
Dylan wasn't the only one spending time with Winter of course. Erick was trying to be the best big brother he could be making sure to play with his little sister and show her lots of affection. He may not have been sure about having a sibling at first, but now that she's here he couldn't imagine his life any other way.
August and Dylan's relationship was progressing really nicely too with the two of them [on the same day no less] realizing they wanted to have another child.
Other folks had noticed how happy the couple was as well and made sure to lend their thoughts on the matter.
August wanted to propose, but there was one person they wanted to speak to first.
August wanted to make sure to speak with Erick about the proposal first even if they felt that he would be okay with it.
The teen wasn't surprised at all about their wanting to take the relationship with his dad to the next level, and he was happy to give his blessing to the sim who not only made his dad happy, but also made sure that he never felt ignored.
A week later, the day before love day, it finally happened - Winter learned how to crawl! Her newfound mobility meant she could also follow her big brother and take a nap next to him [I know letting her sleep on the floor isn't great, but her napping next to Erick was cute].
August [and the Watcher] knew that a Love Day proposal might be cliche, but they didn't care. The ring they crafted may have been basic, but the love behind it was far from it. Dylan was more than happy with the ring and said yes!
Both Dylan and August made it a point to tell Erick as soon as they could. Even though he knew it was going to be happening, he was still excited for the two of them and what it meant for their little family.
