Chapter Forty One - How To Sabotage a Party ... Toddler Style

The day after William's birthday, it was Snow Day, and both Shannon and Austin rolled a wish to host a Gift Giving party. So I decided, it was time for Shannon to hit the spotlight, so she organised the party.

Because of all the toddler//skilling stuff they'd purchased for William, it was quite cramped and there wasn't any space to place the presents pile, so I decided to revamp the house a little and add on an annex where William could play/sleep etc.

 

William looks as though he's really enjoying his toys and stuff.

Playing with the doll house.

And the xylophone. Although he wasn't all that excited about that little toy.

Shannon decided to roll a wish to potty train William, but stopped midway, to roll into her maternity clothing.
That meant Austin taking over ... to 'attack with the claw'.

Too cute.

Anyhow, time ticked onwards and the party was coming up pretty soon. So, to make sure that William didn't disturb the celebrations, Austin took him to his crib.

However, William wasn't having it.

Hungry!
Bedtime.
HUNGREEEEE!!!
Bed-time. No excuses!!
HUNGREEEE!!!!

He screamed blue murder, causing all the guests to tut at poor Austin, trying his hardest to keep the young un quiet.

Come on son, you are tired. Now get some sleep.
Story.
Not now.
Story.
No, I need to go pee.
Story.
You are not going to win this one.
STOREEEEEEE!!!

Yeah, Austin wished to read William a bedtime story, but it was cancelled out because of Austin's dire need to go pee. William's energy needs were deep red, and his hunger was orange. It was one or the other.
In this case, there was also a third option.
Austin really REALLY needed to go to the bathroom. But William was yelling his lungs out.

HUNGREEE
Oh come on kid, I REALLY need to go, it's hurting!
HUNGREEEE!!!!
Holy crap kid, you are LOUD!!

Sadly, the battle of wills only had one winner.
Austin's bladder ... well, it gave up the ghost and he peed himself!!

Oh .... crap!!
There wasn't time for him to take a quick shower, so he sat as far away from everyone just so that they didn't inhale his stinky odour. Only Crypto sat with him, claiming that he couldn't smell anything since he'd caught a 'human cold'.

Meanwhile, back in the nursery, William wasn't giving up without a fight and even though he was close to exhaustion, he STILL screamed the place down!!

The party was in full swing, people dancing, Shannon doing a trivia quiz with the babysitter.

Apart from William in his attempt to sabotage the party and get all the attention for himself, it was quite a fun event for everyone!!!!

Shannon farted hearts for one of the guests.....
... I'll put that down to her hormones being a bit skewed!!!

Oh and I've discovered that William has himself an IF (imaginary friend) doll, called Peanut.

Chapter Thirty Eight - What is it with Alcohol and Babysitters?

Life changed completely for these two...

Yeah, you are not kidding, William is a handful.

I know, I can see.

Shannon had a seminar to attend to for one of her opportunities, and Austin wasn't due back from work for at least another hour or so. So they had to employ a babysitter. 

He was particularly good with William, much better than Bonehilda, whom I'd decided to reinstate once more and HOLY COW!! She actually DID SOME WORK!!!!!

I had to put the bar into the family inventory, since it's a magnet for both Bonehilda and the babysitter (who decided to hang around a little longer after Austin came home from work).

Want to join me in a drink?
Um, I'm not sure I should.
Oh go on, one won't hurt. Besides, I'll cover for you.
Only if you are sure.

Boney, you are corrupting an innocent kid there.

I want a water slide.
Say ... what?
You heard. I want ...
I know what you want, but don't you think it's a little inappropriate for this time of year?
I can't see the problem.
Uh, it's WINTER. Freezing temperatures.... and.... oh who am I kidding? This is Austin Powers, he's got a long history of asking for weird and not quite so 'wonderful' items.
Who are you talking to?
Myself.
You know, they take people away for less than that.
I know.

Sooo, I got him his water slide. And naturally, he wanted to play.

O-kay.

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kersplosh!!!

Ugh, I slipped. Hope nobody noticed.

He spotted a rather drunk looking babysitter and approached him.
HA! BUSTED!!!!

Aren't you a little young to be drinking, especially whilst in charge of my son?
Aren't you a little dumb to be walking around in your swimwear in the middle of Winter?
 
Touche!

Anywho, Austin decided to try and befriend this boy, in the hopes of squeezing out a report on him. He showed him a cat video he'd streamed on his phone. The babysitter went all gooey, before announcing that his shift had finished and he needed to get home before curfew.
