Week 2

The Daycare Diaries – Week 2
WEEK 2
SIMOLEANS – 486
DAYCARE LEVEL – 2



DAY 1 – SUNDAY
Autumn was awakened by Calvin’s son’s rendition of Rebel Yell on the guitar.  She would have preferred something a bit softer to welcome in the day but was pleased at how well she had been accepted by the family.
After an enjoyable breakfast she headed home to, ehem, put away the toys.
She had a call from Dakota Fox’s father.  Dakota had recently aged up and Autumn’s services would no longer be required. 
Autumn was praised for her contribution in the raising of Dakota and was given credit towards what a well behaved and bright child he had become.
Autumn spent the day fulfilling needs and reached cooking level 3 with a very successful Mac & Cheese.
DAY 2 – MONDAY
After having a very relaxing Sunday.  Autumn awoke early.
Which meant she had time for a bath.  In an evening gown!!
It was soon time for the rugrats to arrive.  We had Nicholas and Taurus back, as well as a new arrival.
Joyce Blanco.
Autumn had spent some of her earnings on a new garden toy for the kids and Joyce was the first one to try it out.
There was also the all-important skill building to be done with the kids.
Autumn received another Great score for her days work.
DAY 3 – TUESDAY
After Jet kept jumping into the bathtub and disappearing, I replaced the CC one with a standard bath!
Jet then attacked the new scratch post
And destroyed it!
Autumn was working on her latest, urm, masterpiece when the kids arrived.
We have Joyce, Nicholas and Taurus again.
Autumn was getting quite proficient at the claw move.
And the diaper changing move!!!
Taurus was more interested in showing Autumn what was up his nose than learning to talk.
So she tried him on the horsey instead.  He doesn’t look too keen!
With the kids all fed, changed and happy
Autumn headed to the kitchen for a quick snack
Unfortunately she was unaware that waving your hands at an empty bowl did not make it refill!
At last the parents arrived to take their little ones home.
And Autumn bought Psyche and Jet a new, super deluxe, scratching tower!
Autumn sold the chunks of meteorite she had collected for a whopping 8,550.00 simolians!
With the money she added a new Daycare room.
The kids soon arrived.
And as usual they were all starving!  Do the parents not feed these children?
The kids loved the new room.
And the cats were most interested in the new doors.
Autumn found it much easier to keep the children happy and entertained with all the new toys.
Okay Jet.  Speak!  Say Milk!
At the end of a long day Autumn settled down to a nice meal happy in her success.
She had earned another promotion!! 
Autumn is now Level 3 – Daycare Dynamo and cares for 4 kids!
DAY 5 – THURSDAY
Autumn was very excited.  She had finally earned enough lifetime reward points to purchase Steel Bladder and had enough money to hire a maid.
I added another small scratchy post – to stop the arguments!
As Autumn sat down to breakfast the kids arrived.
All starving hungry again!
Our new arrivals are Barbara Pelly
And Bridge Stephenson
Along with Taurus
And Joyce
I think the maid is fighting a losing battle here!
Autumn found herself torn between the 4 demanding kiddywinkles
As she took Bridge to play on the horsey
Joyce and Barbara were complaining about Taurus’s lack of xylophone skills

A quick bottle of alien milk soon calmed them down.
Autumn tried again to teach Taurus to talk.
And Bridge to walk.
Before finally the parents showed up.
SCORES
Taurus Fox – Good
Barbara Pelly – Great
Bridge Stephenson – Great
Joyce Blanco – Good
After leaving Taurus and Barbara aged up.
Autumn just had time to prepare some tea before bed.
And spend some quality time with Psyche and Jet.  Petting
And playing
As Autumn slept, the cats enjoyed their new scratchy mountain.
DAY 6 – FRIDAY
Jet was discussing the pros and cons of rubber ducky’s with a passing stray dog.
While Psyche decided that it was not acceptable for Autumn to sleep in on her day off and woke her up!
I don’t think early mornings agree with Autumn.  She just keeps pointing at the cats and laughing!!
As everyone knows, Sims do love the ice cream van!
But no Rainbow Rockets for Autumn, she is a bunny girl through and through!
Autumn decided she would take Psyche and Jet out to the Cat Park.
I think you are supposed to stick to the paths Autumn!
Autumn was enjoying herself, by attempting to destroy the local wildlife.
Until she bumped into Esme.  You know she is apparently a cat person?  I don’t know why you would think that.  Unless… maybe the jumper?
However Esme’s conversation was so boring that Autumn actually passed out!!
Psyche and Jet were quite happy to be destroying something that was not their own!!
After waking up from her boredom sleep.  Autumn decided to visit the bar across the road from the cat park.
Played a few games
And got very excited when she beat herself.
*head-desk*
She had been invited to Calvin’s latest party.  So as dusk settled she headed over for a night of merriment.
As Calvin prepared nibbles
Autumn occupied herself with his daughter’s toys.
As the evening drew to a close Autumn made her move on Calvin
She really liked him and asked to sleep over
But what had started as a successful night for Autumn
Ended in the walk of shame
Upset at Calvin’s rejection she headed home.
DAY 7 – SATURDAY
Autumn woke up in a foul mood.  She couldn’t understand why Calvin had been so cold.
She took her aggression out on the waffle mix and gained level 4 cooking.
Unsure of what to do with her day, she remembered she had been asked to teach an art class at the local school.  And had an invite to Scarlet’s party.
So she fed the girls
And headed off to teach the class.
Psyche and Jet went to the Cat Park for the cat roundup event.  Only to find they were the only ones there.
However they did get to see some local child hating wildlife.
Autumn finished teaching her class and headed over to Scarlet’s for the party.
She hardly knew Scarlet but was pleased to be part of the society in crowd.
But the in crowd was not much fun for Autumn in her current mood
She managed to upset Honey by laughing at her aversion to sunlight and was asked to leave.
Autumn headed home and straight to bed.  Hoping tomorrow would be a better day.
