Mia didn’t bother mentioning their vacation plans. Instead, she turned to Leo and asked, “Leo, how are you planning to spend the holidays by yourself this year? Anya can’t be with you, right?”
Leo shrugged, “I’ll just wing it.”
Andre wrapped an arm around his wife’s shoulders and said, “We better head home. If Henry keeps sleeping, his eyes will be brighter than headlights tonight.”
Once they left, Leo, buzzing with excitement, cupped his girlfriend’s face with both hands and kissed her right there at the hotel entrance. “I was wondering why you weren’t packing your bags. I thought maybe you were planning to leave some clothes here and buy new ones for back home. So, you're sticking around? Let’s go home!”
Andre and his wife also headed back to the Irvin house. They managed to wake up Henry, who was in dreamland. He was grumpy and cried on the floor mat for a bit before settling down.
Later, Cooper took his nephew out to practice skateboarding. Henry, all wobbly and adorable, had Cooper’s full attention.
They came across another little boy, about Henry’s age, trying to skateboard alone. The boy didn’t have the skills and his parents hadn’t taught him. Plus, he was too young for the local skateboarding groups. As he played, he fell and sat there crying.
Initially, Cooper had been annoyed with the boy’s parents for being unreasonable. But seeing the kid cry softened him. Holding his nephew’s hand, he said, “Henry, let’s help this little guy up.”
Henry, with no hard feelings, grabbed the boy’s hand, while Cooper did most of the lifting. It was Cooper’s way of teaching his little buddy a lesson in kindness.
Soon, the boy’s mom showed up. Recognizing the Irvin family, she stood there awkwardly thanking them.
Cooper couldn’t help himself and said, “He’s too young, doesn’t have the leg strength yet. Skateboarding can be dangerous without proper supervision.”
