Otts Family – Calvin 08

Hello and welcome back to the crazy…I mean the ISBI. I’m so excited to be bringing you a new update to the Otts family. Last update Dustin grew up into a toddler and the family was busy taking care of him. Let’s dig in to this new update!

When we start the update we get family updates. Cordelia has gotten married, and nearly immediately gets pregnant as well. Then we get the notice that Kaleigh and Cedric are also expecting again. Yay for more Otts!

Cedric is over and perhaps he is letting him mom know she’s going to be a grandma again. I really love this generation of this family, they have been so much fun.

Eddie is out tonight and starts the night by destroying the dollhouse, then he is helpful and mops up Dustin’s mess. Thanks for the help Eddie, but I don’t suppose you could have not destroyed the dollhouse?

Hinata is sick and we start to wonder if she is pregnant again. Then she proves to be a really good mom, comforting little Dustin and then reading him to sleep. She is, sadly falling behind in school and I think she might not finish it now.

Calvin comes home with a promotion, way to go Calvin. Then we find out Corey’s twins are now toddlers. This portion was played before the infant update, so they went straight to toddlers. They are cuties.

Calvin gets busy potty training Dustin. He at least needs to get him to level 2 so Dustin can work on it more himself.

Hinata celebrates finding out she is, indeed, pregnant. She is going to fail out of college for sure now. She might surprise me, but pregnancy has been not great for Hianta and school. Hinata goes and tells Calvin, who is also happy about the news.

I love you Hinata, you are one of my favorite NTH’s. Your predecessor was also amazing, but I’m still mad at Adalyn for dying in the pool early. Please keep being amazing!

Julia, while I appreciate very much the fact you are mopping up a puddle, you BROKE the sink. The puddle will never go away unless you fix the sink.

It’s Winterfest Eve and the family works on decorating the tree together. One of these days I might actually consider decorating the inside for Winterfest (or maybe even most of the winter.) I love decorating for Christmas in real life.

*sigh* Sadly the excitement of Winterfest was too much for Dustin. He passes out on the floor. -5 points.

Brooke’s “whoops” twins (whoops in the fact I forgot to flag her before) have grown into children. We will get a better look at them later. I love all the Otts we have in the family now.

Before bed, Calvin gives Dustin a bubble bath. Once that is done and he’s put to bed Hinata sits with Dustin to work on her schoolwork. I hope she manages to get through these last classes.

Bailie, I know you had the bodybuilder aspiration and worked really hard to get fit, but could you please take it easy on using the weight machine? I really don’t want you to die from exertion.

A bunch of fun new updates for the family. Bailie is squeamish now, which is sort of funny. Calvin and Dustin get a strict family dynamic, which makes a little sense, Calvin wants Dustin to be successful. Then we find out 2 of Dustin’s 3 quirks. Loves Sounds and Aggressive.

The house at night looks very pretty all decorated on the outside for Winterfest. I really do like this house, especially with all the changes we have made to it (which I’m going to be making more soon.)

More updates and we find out Corey and Janessa are expecting again too. A new baby will be joining their twins soon. This isn’t a family update, but I found it kind of funny, but also sad that Celeste (one of the new pre-mades from Growing Together) has already died. Then, Dustin maxes out his potty skill! That’s +5 points. Thank you, Dustin!

Ahh well. Points come and points go. Dustin is acting a lot like Alan in his toddler years. So far, points gained, points lost. -5 Points.

Luckily the family is still able to complete many of the traditions of Winterfest because we can do them as a group. Even little Dustin can get in on the fun now that he’s had a nap.

Corey comes by to see his brother, and maybe to let the family know that his wife is once again pregnant. I love that so many cousins are going to be close in age. Maybe we’ll try a toddler playdate.

Awww, Dustin’s last quirk is that he loves to wake up. That’s cute. Then, sadly, pregnancy with Hinata’s school just doesn’t work out and she officially flunks out, or rather is suspended. I’m not sure I’ll have her try again. We’ll have to see because she was doing really well on her own for a long time.

Speaking of Alan, later in the evening of Winterfest he comes haunting. He manages to stop Bailie from her constant drink-making. I think she might get close to maxing out Mixology all on her own.

Hinata has also developed some Squeamishness, what is it with this family? Bailie then decides she likes Silly Behavior thanks to her grandson.

Hinata is getting bigger and bigger, but she still is a great mother to Dustin. He even gets to work on flash cards with his mom. Maybe he’ll max another skill and even out our points.

I really want to try out a baby shower for Hinata, but we haven’t met all of the other members of our extended family, at least close cousins. So we make a quick tour of the extended family. Brodie’s adopted daughter is our first stop to flag her. Then we meet Cedric’s kids and flag his stepdaughter. Then we wrap up our time out by meeting Corey’s twins

We manage to hold a baby shower and it’s a lot of fun. It turns into a family-wide baby shower with each of this current generation’s wives all being pregnant together, at various levels. We take some lovely pictures of the family and have a lot of fun until Hinata goes into labor!

Hinata heads to the hospital with Calvin and heads back to the delivery room where she started treatment with one medical person, who then up and left in the middle of the delivery and Hinata had to wait for someone else. Calvin did come back to the room and soon we have a new little boy, Dwight. This is quite a boy-heavy generation so far. +5 points

After the birth of his newest son Calvin and his mom get the option to be jokesters. I go ahead and say yet cause I think this seems like fun.

When they get home Calvin shows off his new son to his mom. Bailie is super happy to meet her newest grandchild. She is getting to see so many grandkids and it makes her very happy.

That same evening we get family updates where we find out Kaleigh and Cordelia both give birth to their own baby boys, Darin and Dalton respectively. Brodie’s son, David, has also grown into a teen now.

Calvin takes care of Dustin while Hinata rests and takes care of their newest son. He plays with him and then at night reads him to sleep.

Dustin has managed to max out his movement, which gives us another +5 points! Then he gets to level 4 of imagination. We might manage to get 3 skills maxed for Dustin!

Hinata takes a little bit of time for herself on the pool floaty. Thank you for using the floaty and not drowning Hinata. Then she not only takes care of Dwight but also plays with and dances with Dustin.

Calvin remains busy working on his painting since we still need to immortalize him. Dustin also continues to be adorable and I love these poufs.

Dustin wandered outside in a storm and made this face. Baby, why did you go outside? Go back inside and your dad can comfort you and put you to bed. He’s so cute!

OMG, look at this, the parents and baby are all asleep at the same time, in bed! This is a rare and exciting event in any ISBI. Now, not all of the family was asleep, but still, it’s impressive all the same.

It only lasts for so long though and then Hinata is back up taking care of the baby. It’s funny, I try and have Calvin help out and Hinata always autonomously beats him to it and he can’t “reach” the baby.

You might have noticed Hinata is in a pretty shirt before and it’s because we are throwing a birthday party for Dustin. He’s already a child, and while he didn’t quite max out imagination, or any other skills, he did really well. All the family is invited over, and we determine one of the toddlers has the messy eater trait. Julia helps us out that night by helping clean up after the messy eater.

That feels like a good place to end this update, which is starting to feel long, but first I will leave you with some family updated pictures.

We will start with Cordelia’s husband, Tai Lum. Next to him is David Otts, and then we have Cedric’s kids, Mikayka and Danielle. He has the most girls right now. Next up is Brooke’s kids, Chance and Chaya, both of whom are vampires. Finally, we wrap up with Corey’s twins, Darnel and Destiny.

We managed to actually get a small boost in points, which is pretty good with how we started, and I hope you enjoyed the update.
