“Hmm.” Austin frowny and thinky. “You’re right. That’s not something that you should be expected to know.”

Smart Daddy.

“You need to start writing these things down when you think of them.” Serious face Daddy. “Don’t you have a document where you’re taking notes?”

Hmm.

Daddy knew a secret.

“A notebook at the very least?” Smart Daddy sighed. “You need to make sure the next new Daddy understands things like this or he won’t know real manipulation from the cute kind.”

Two kinds?

Hmm.

“Fine.” Drama Austin. Hands up. Whirl around and around. “I have to go make notes. You’ll be fine. Jarrett is a wonderful teacher.”

Daddy won.

Austin stompy.

No giggles.

No giggles.

Daddy whispers. “Don’t give it away. Shh.”

Smart Daddy.

Nodding. Nodding. “Shhh.”

Daddy smiley. “You’re going to make me laugh. Don’t look so cute.”

Oops.

Daddy frowny. “Um, Austin pointed us in this direction. I’m certain you know Dessie.”

Oh.

“Hi…” Oops. “Good boy, Daddy.”

Fast. Fast. Binkie. Yay.

Cuddles.

“If you try to jump out of my arms and end up landing on your head, you’re going to lose your good boy status.” Daddy growly.

“He’s little.” Uncle Jarrett smart too.

“He’s usually this little.” Daddy had frowny face.

“Not here.” Uncle Jarrett thinky.

Peeking.

Waving.

Gideon peeking.
