The Cowboy and the Mermaid

Today is the triplets birthday! Lorelei and Dwight are both busy baking cakes so that each baby gets a birthday cake.

They decided against a party feeling that would be too many people and might frighten the kids. Some of their friends can get a bit boisterous. Erin goes first as she was born first. She smiles and laughs with excitement catching the excitement of her Mom and Dad. Erin grows into her toddler stage with lovely turquoise scales. She is a mermaid!

Eric is second and the loud noise maker his Dad is using just makes him giggle and laugh. Eric changes into his toddler stage with beautiful green scales. He is a merman!

Austin is last and he is waiting patiently for his change. He is the quietest of the three. Will he change into a merman or will he be human? Austin changes into a beautiful merman. (I missed the last shot of him as a baby so he gets two pics of his toddler change)

The kids play happily with their bears that have lived in their beds since they were born while Mom and Dad eat some of the yummy cake.

They enjoy playing with the toddlers and after milk and mushed up cake it was soon time for them to go to bed. Dwight bathed and settled Eric as well as tickled and settled Erin. Lorelei rocks Austin and gets him settled. Dwight got a call from a potential client needing his help right now. Can he come right away? Lorelei smiles at him. "I've got this now that they are settled in bed, you go on and see what is wrong. They sound desperate." He hugs her and kisses her, thanking her for understanding. She kisses him and tells him, "be careful" and off he goes into the night to see what is wrong in Sunlit Tides.

I did go in and color each kids scales how I wanted them. I was so excited that all three were merfolk! I made the same area on all three kids orange as representative of their Mom's color and the other color was from their favorite color. I did go back in and fix Erin's colors to a brighter orange as hers was too light when I looked at it later. I still need to fix the other two's a bit brighter. I'm just picky that way! lol
