Counting down the hours

Round 12: Days 56-60

last update/next update

Georgette had been the primary carer for Samson as a newborn but as he got older, Galen took a more active parenting role.



As a result, as soon as he could express a preference, Samson became a total daddy's boy.

Samson was the spitting image of Galen as a toddler.

He had quickly shown a talent for music...just like Dad.

Dad, of course, played no small roll in encouraging his young son's talent, taking every opportunity to teach his son nursery rhymes and help him with his xylophone.

Galen's increased interest in fatherhood made him all the more attractive to his wife.

Georgette played with Samson too but it usually ended in Georgette getting bored or Samson throwing a tantrum.

She preferred to focus on her career and it had finally been paying off lately. Georgette was hired by a law firm which specialised in personal injury compensation claims. It seemed a bit shady but anything was better than her previous position.

Samson was much sweeter by himself in his crib than he ever was with his mother. He was quite content to play alone in his bed every morning, while his parents were otherwise occupied.

Georgette would usually brush up on legal matters. Being an attorney (she'd moved from compensation to family law) was a lot harder than working in the bills department.

Galen's before-work activity of choice was to squeeze in a quick work out in the gym just off the apartment lobby.

Samson's birthday this round saw him turn 5 and he continued to bear a strong resemblance to his dad.

Notes:

• Well, well, well, Galen! No wants to flirt, make out or woohoo with other women? What's up with that? He still has a 20 woohoo want that I've locked but other than that, he's been very well-behaved!
• Samson really did react better to Galen than to Georgette. I don't know why but he often had his grumpy pants on when she'd try to teach him stuff. Maybe he could sense she'd rather be elsewhere!
• It took me forever to write this. It's been so hot here recently and I couldn't be bothered to sit blogging for extended periods of time.
