Does Roman ever have playdates with the other littles?
Once they find out about him and he stops just being a scaredy clingy baby to Dadee then yep! These playdates take place when everything has cooled down and everyone is comfortable with everyone, since their first playdates were just a bundle of awkward nerves for Roman and what can he do? with the other two
Logan and Roman Playdates
Logan loves teaching “baby roo” about everything. But, sometimes in little space it tends to be simple things like when they are painting together Logan explaining how Red and Blue makes Purple. Roman smiles and nods happily. Secretly he’s like in his head ‘Yah I know, ‘m a baby but I’m not stupid!’
Logan likes helping caretakers with Roman to show he’s a “big” boy and because he gets lots of praise for doing it (Something that Roman and Logan have in common, their love for praise) This works great when Roman is feeling more on the lower end of his age range, because Logan’s willing to play with the baby toys and do the baby activities to be a good boy
When Roman is real little, they will bring out his baby toys. At first Logan thought it would be really stupid. But he found enjoyment in organizing the alphabet blocks in the right order (He started doing it as a stacking game to make it more interesting to Roman, so he tried to all the right letters in the tower before they fall down) The blocks are his favorite baby toys, but he also enjoys reading Roman the baby books, because they are simple enough he doesn’t end up messing up at all!
Another thing they have in common is their love for story time. During a playdate it’s highly unlikely that Deceit won’t be forced to read at least 2 stories. Logan however does not approve of Deceit going off book, but adores his silly voices.
If Roman is feeling on his older range, one of their caretakers will take them out in the nature (in the dreamspace) and let them explore.
Out of Roman’s age ranges Logan prefers it when Roman is feeling more around 2, but will still play with him when hes littler.
Logan doesn’t like the messy arts (Which Roman does lean more on), but the two will color together. Logan sometimes gets bothered if things aren’t right (Like when Roman decided to color the grass pink, because grass is green, so you should color it green) Logan’s coloring books are always filled with very well done coloring pages with shading and everything, ALWAYS in line and ALWAYS as accurate as little him can make it. Roman not so much, he colors outside of the lines on PURPOSE! (Example when he colored big butterfly wigs on a picture in his princess coloring book) He doesn’t color things realistically like Logan ether, like the pink grass or when he turns a coloring page of baby dumbo into a pink elephant because it’s Dumbo and the pink elephant’s daughter.
Once when they were exploring nature, Roman and Logan fell into a mud puddle. Logan wanted a bath right now! Patton was the one watching them, so he was going to have them take a bath together, this did not turn out well. A lot of loud screaming and crying from Roman, until Deceit ended up showing up and was like, ummmm nooooooo, Roman’s real sensitive about his body.
Virgil and Roman Playdates
At first Virgil was really unsure and nervous, because Roman’s a baby and to little Virgil even though he knows Roman is tough, probably the strongest and hardest to hurt of all the sides (In Virgil’s eyes) Baby Roman could get hurt real easy
This is not untrue, but mostly just because Roman physically is weaker then he lets on to be. (He just pretends all his battle wounds aren’t there and don’t hurt)
Virgil still prefers Patton being the caretaker who watches over their playdate and will be in a bit of bad mood if it’s just Deceit. On the flip side Roman has a little unease when Patton is the one there and Deceit isn’t, but he doesn’t say anything. The moment Deceit comes back, he’s a little extra clingy though. The moment Patton comes back Virgil tells him all the cool things they did completely forgetting how much trouble he gave Deceit.
The two of them are both big fans of coloring, for Virgil it helps his anxiety. He takes a long time to make sure it’s perfect, it’s not like Logan. It’s not shaded or anything crazy like that, it’s also tends to fit in reality over Roman’s. Virgil likes other forms of art too, They tend to make a lot of arts and crafts together.
Virgil adores making slimes, and playing with slime. Roman likes it too. They do have their differences with the slime however, Virgil prefers glow in the dark slimes, black slime, or purple slime. He likes making a different slime for each thing. While Roman likes adding everything to one big slime, He also tries to add glitter to every single slime (and personally Virgil not a big fan of raw glitter because it gets on him, glitter in bottles and cool down jars is fine as long as they don’t have any chance of getting glitter on him)
Putty is good too
They both adore squishies and stuffed animals.
Bubbles Bubbles Bubbles Bubbles and oh Bubbles (They both really like playing with bubbles)
Logan, Virgil and Roman Playdates
This can be a little harder at times, because Logan and Virgil always play with each other they fall into a pattern that at times will leave Roman feeling like an outsider. Which ever caretaker is watching them has to be the one who tells them to remember Roman, because he will just sit there looking adorable sad and lost
Since they all like coloring that’s a big thing they do all together.
Going to the park tends to end up with them splitting off from each other. And not a great activity if they are trying to help the little ones to bond. Virgil’s favorite area of the park is the sandbox, Logan’s is the slides (to put things on and watch them slide down, and of course him sliding down too) Roman adores the swings and being pushed. He likes pretending he can fly. But, he has to use a baby swing his size due to the fact once he was using a “big boy” swing and let go of the chains, while being pushed and ended up fall and hitting the back of his head. This happened twice (because the second time he’d promise to remember to hold the chains, which he forgot minutes later)
They all do play pretend too, though it’s not Logan’s preferred choice in activities he does love being the teacher and the other littles (and which ever big watching them) being his students. Virgil surprising everyone likes to play knights and princess. In which he’s a brave knight Logan is the wizard and Roman the princess. (At first Roman had been the prince, but he was having a miserable time, luckily Deceit was watching them and helped make him the princess since Roman struggle with using his words, even when he’s feeling on his older side)
Roman never voices anything he wants to do ever single playdates or in a playgroup. He won’t voice if he doesn’t like the activity ether. Even when the other little asks what he wants to do it takes the caretaker’s encourgement as well before he will shyly point at something
