No pants- Slouchy, oversized sweaters only
Watching the clothes dryer dry clothes was fun. It was so pretty, but it probably wouldn’t be fun if Sheepy had a bath and needed to take a ride to dry off. So that’s why Vincent sat on the floor of the basement in just a pair of cute baby pink farm animal padding that had plenty of sheep on it, with Sheepy in his lap- they were far away from the windows which sadly depicted dark clouds that would definitely spell rain later on.
Orlando was folding clothes nearby, some chill rock music playing on the radio. He looked out the window. “Looks like we’ll be getting some rain.” He muttered.
“Rain baaad.” Vincent looked away from the dryer for a moment to look at his Dada, “Papa don’t like mud, no he doesn’t.”
He chuckled, “Yeah he doesn’t like mud. Silly goose.” He poked his cheek.
“Am not goose, am Vincent.” He pouted, but returned to watching the dryer. It seemed to be slowing down, “Dada! Dada! Dryin’ almos’ done.”
“Oh it is, then that means when it beeps we need to get all the clothes out.” He told him.
Vincent nodded determinedly. He wanted to be the best helper.
“The best helper.” He kissed his forehead.
Vincent smiled. “Ye.” He looked at the dryer as it started to beep. “Dryin’s done!” He announced.
“Thank you for telling me.” He chuckled, opening up the dryer. He grabbed the basket and started to get all the clothes into it, they were all warm from the dryer.
Vincent touched one piece of clothing, an oversized acid-wash pullover hoodie that belonged to Jonny, “Waaarm.”
“It is warm, do you wanna wear Papa’s hoodie?” He asked him.
Vincent nodded, “Is warm.” He put on the hoodie, “....Dada wet.”
Orlando chuckled and picked him up, “let’s get you changed then.” He kissed his cheek, carrying him upstairs to the bedrooms.
Vincent held onto his sheep, “Dada warm.”
“You just happy to be all warm now.” He hummed, laying him down to make quick work of getting him changed. Vincent thankfully did not spring a leak the minute his padding was opened, and instead was more interested in his Dada’s hat. Sweet baby boy just wanted all of the things today, it seemed. Fair enough, it looked scary outside.
Orlando just let him mess with his hat, it wasn’t an issue to him so he didn’t mind letting him play with it. He finished up and picked him up, “there we go, all done.”
Vincent put his hat on his head, “Dada’s hat.”
“Aw thank you buddy.” He smiled, “You ready to help me put the clothes away?”
Vincent nodded, “Gotta put ‘way the clothes so we got stuffs to wear.”
“Thats right.” He nodded, going back in the basement to grab the basket. Vincent followed after him on the stairs and...he was rather fast on the steps and accurate too.
“Gotta put the stuffs ‘way. Gotta put the stuffs ‘way.” He chirped, sitting on the floor next to the dresser to help put things in the bottom dresser, because sometimes Dada’s back hurted.
“So fast.” Orlando chuckled, starting to fold the clothes, before setting some next to Vincent so he can put them in the bottom drawer. Vincent was very peculiar in how he settled the clothes in the drawer, but his sweater paws kept getting in the way, causing him to get a little bit grumbly.
Orlando reached over and pulled his sleeves up, trying to help him free up his hands a bit. Before going back to put away the rest of the clothes, telling Vincent that he was doing a very good job.
Once the clothes were away, Vincent yawned tiredly, going over to Orlando’s bed and just laying down. He was tired.
“Oh I guess it’s naptime.” He chuckled, going over and covering him up with the blanket. Vincent pulled him down.
“Dada nap too.” He demanded, “Dada tired.”
“Okay okay, Dada will lay down with you.” He ran a hand through his hair. Vincent yawned and gently held onto his Dada, burying his head into his neck.
“Dada warm too now.”
He smiled, kissing his head. “Love you Vince.”
“Love Dada too.”
About thirty minutes later, Jonny had arrived home, tired and easily slid in bed with his two boys, not even batting an eyelash of Vincent’s choice of hoodie, since he knew that on some days, all you really needed was a slouchy hoodie and your Dada and Papa for company.
