Parental Prinxiety please!
Roman was reading over his lines when he noticed it.
The silence.
Looking away from the M play, he stood up and stretched before searching the house.
Bedrooms clean and clear, Kitchen spotless, laundry is clear, and now as he stands in the playroom, just as he was going to panic a small rustle alerted him to what he was searching for.
A small toddler was curled up in a tight ball holding a weighted blanket and a Lilo and stitch book in the oversized beanbag chair.
Roman smiled and took a quick picture of his son, being this cute should be illegal.
Roman then moved on to the kitchen to make his little Dark Prince a snack before dinner.
Virgil had been with him for an entire year and this is the first time he fell asleep in a semi-acceptable place!
Roman prepared apple slices, carefully cutting the way Virgil likes them. Then took extra care to position the sippy cup to an exact 30° angle, which was natural for him now.
He didn't notice his child toddle in until he felt a familiar weight on the back of his legs, "V? Are you ok sweetheart?"
"Seepy."
Roman smiled, already hearing the eyes being rubbed. He put two carrot sticks next to the apples, "Oh, do you not want a snack before I start dinner?"
Feeling a small tug on his pants, Roman turned to see Virgil looking up at him with wide eyes, "apepels? Purple juice?"
Roman nodded, "Apples and purple juice, wanna snack kiddo?"
Virgil nodded and went to his little kid table, strictly for snacks as Roman says.
As Roman gave his son his snack, he thought about how he got here and smiled. Because there is nothing he would trade in the world for Virgil.
