engram | NLC3 - The Ring Legacy Gen 1 Pt 3

Welcome back to the Ring Legacy!

Both the parents get right down to the business of teaching the twins the basic life skills.

And Molly continues to care for their little garden.

The Repair Lady is starting to feel like an almost permanent fixture in the house. Might be time to learn some handiness skill.

Moebius: What are you doing?!?!? PUT ME DOWN RIGHT NOW, MOTHER!!!

Molly: I wonder if this still works. Then maybe The One and I could have some alone time.

Solar: You weren't kidding, Moebius! What is she trying to do. Keep your mind on the job, Mother!

Solar>: *rummages*

So what did you get?

Solar: Not telling. *hides toy*

Fine! Be that way!

Molly: As you go through life, you will come across many toxic substances. Like the stuff in that potty behind you.

Solar: What about the other potty?

Molly: Yeah, that one is so toxic, it's got green fumes coming out of it.

What kind of life lesson is that, Molly?

I finally persuaded her to remove the toxic substances from the vicinity of the children.

It would appear that Molly is pregnant again. She had no morning sickness this time.

Moebius: This music stuff is FUN!

I think his brain has been addled by the toxic fumes coming from the potties. He looks a bit deranged.

Molly begins the all-watermelon diet she'd heard about.

Because he was working 5 days a week and too cranky to write novels at the end of the day The One wasn't getting anywhere in the novel-writing racket. So I got him to quit his job because his time as a young adult was running out and he was earning diddly-squat from the one novel he managed to burp out.

So he quit his job to concentrate on writing full time, leaving Molly with more time to make friends and earn the skill points necessary for her promotions. When she manages to get back to work.

The pomegranates live where the plums do - in France!

A bit of peace and quiet while the twins concentrate on inhaling their gruel.

It was time to get some kiddie books for the toddlers to skillinate. And that pregnant lady behind Molly is JC, Pirate's wife! Those two certainly didn't waste any time starting a family.

Fitness fever seems to be gripping the town. Just about everyone was out jogging. They all seem to have forgotten to change into their workout clothes. Can't be comfortable running around in a full suit or high heels.

With The One now staying at home with the twins Molly started to pursue other outdoor activities.

Molly: Look at what I caught!

A teeny tiny sardine?

The One is an excellent teacher.

And he plays with the kids, too.

The One: This one has inherited my ears so he gets extra hugs.

I'm trying to keep the displays of favouritism subtle, but both the parents are rolling more wishes to do with Solar than Moebius. I need to keep making sure that both of them get lots of attention, but the favouritism is definitely there.

The Ring Toddler Skilling School of Excellence is in full swing.

A video of Molly teaching Solar to walk

It's only 31 seconds but I had sound recording enabled to it comes in at around 7MB. The animation of the toddling toddler is so cute, I couldn't resist recording it. And you get to hear Molly's voice.

~Continued next post~

I don't know if I want teaching toddlers to talk right next to the potty spewing toxic fumes to become a Ring tradition.

It's baby time!

The One celebrated his age transition from young adult to adult while Molly was in hospital. His appearance didn't change at all so I didn't take any special aging up pics.

With both parents busy giving birth and having totally ignored birthdays, Solar and Moebius just get on the the learnin'.

Welcome home, Narya!

May you make Gendalf proud.

Just what are the two of you teaching these kids???

And I think we have a new favourite in the family.

And another video, of The One teaching Moebius to walk

This one is 29 seconds and just 6.3MB

No more videos, I promise! But the teaching to walk animations are a favourite of mine so I couldn't resist.

The One decided to enter an eating competition. And took Moebius along for the ride then dumped him outside the restaurant while he gorged himself inside. A+ parenting!

He won so I suppose that's something.

And as soon as he came out, he went right back in to get a drink.

The eating competition apparently required that formal attire be worn.

The One: You need to learn how to make friends and influence people, Little One.

Yes, like how not to take your toddler to a restaurant and dump him outside. Alone. In the night.
