Sunlit living room with colorful blocks on the carpet. Oliver smiles as he hugs Mommy near the sofa while Daddy at the doorway raises a playful high five.
Oliver stacked blocks. Mommy called, 'Oliver, come here, please.' Oliver paused, smiled, and toddled over. 'Great listening,' Mommy said, hugging him. Daddy waved, 'High five, helper.' Oliver giggled and clapped.
Cozy hallway lit by afternoon light; Lucy grips Daddy's untied shoelace while Daddy kneels smiling, and Oliver crouches beside them gently patting Lucy's back, looking proud.
Lucy tugged a shoelace. 'Stop, please,' Daddy said gently. Oliver froze, hands still. 'Thank you for stopping,' Daddy smiled. Oliver patted Lucy softly. 'I listened,' he whispered, proud.
Rain-washed sidewalk under grey morning sky; puddles glimmer. Nana walks carefully holding Oliver's small hand, both stepping around a shining puddle, smiling at each other.
Outside, the sidewalk glittered after rain. 'Hold my hand,' Nana said. Oliver slipped his fingers into hers. They stepped around puddles together. 'Safe and steady,' Nana cheered. Oliver squeezed back, grinning.
Playroom floor strewn with toppled blocks beneath warm lamplight. Oliver stands wide-eyed and breathing deeply while Mommy crouches close, finger to lips, offering a gentle encouraging smile.
Blocks toppled loudly, and Oliver gasped. He began to shout. 'Inside voice, please,' Mommy whispered. Oliver took a big breath. 'Okay,' he said calmly. Mommy smiled, 'Thank you for stopping and listening.'
Bright playroom late afternoon; a rug covered in toy cars. Oliver parks the final car into a blue bin, grinning at Daddy who stands clapping proudly beside the bookshelf.
Toy cars zoomed across the rug. 'Clean-up time,' Daddy announced. Oliver parked cars in the bin. 'Vroom to bed,' he giggled. Daddy clapped. 'You followed directions quickly—great listening, Oliver.'
Dim nursery with soft midday light filtering through curtains. Oliver lies in crib cuddling a striped blanket while Lucy curls on the rug below and Daddy whispers goodbye from the doorway.
The house grew quiet after lunch. 'Nap time,' Mommy said softly. Oliver cuddled his blanket. Lucy curled beside the crib. 'Goodnight, buddy,' Daddy whispered. Oliver sighed happily and drifted to sleep.
Sunlit kitchen; trays of steaming cookies rest on the counter. Oliver sits on a stool with folded hands while Nana laughs beside him and Pop Pop softly counts the cooling seconds.
Cookies cooled on the counter. 'We wait until they cool,' Mommy said. Oliver folded his hands. Lucy wagged but waited too. 'Patient team!' Nana laughed. Pop Pop counted softly, 'One, two, three—ready.'
Bright entryway in morning; a small bench holds scattered shoes. Oliver stands tying sneakers, coat and hat already on, while Daddy watches from the doorway, beaming proud approval.
Before the park, Daddy said, 'Shoes on, coat by door, hat on.' Oliver nodded. He did each step carefully. 'All done!' he chirped. Daddy beamed, 'You listened and followed directions perfectly.'
Sunny park lawn mid-afternoon; grass dotted with wildflowers. Oliver gently tosses a red ball toward Lucy, the black long-haired dog bounding back happily, both faces joyful.
At the park, Oliver rolled a ball. 'Gentle with Lucy,' Mommy reminded. Oliver tossed softly. Lucy, the black long-haired labradoodle, bounded back happily. 'Good friends,' Oliver said. Lucy licked his cheek.
Neighborhood sidewalk at sunset, streetlights starting to glow. Oliver waits at the curb holding Daddy's hand while Pop Pop points toward the road, their faces calm and attentive.
On a family walk, Pop Pop pointed, 'Curb ahead.' Oliver stopped. He held Daddy's hand. Nana said, 'Look both ways.' They waited, then crossed together. 'Safe listening makes walks fun,' Mommy cheered.
Cozy dining room under warm evening light; dishes and cups scattered on wooden table. Oliver leans forward eyes sparkling, while Mommy smiles across the table and Daddy gestures excitedly promising a special reward.
At dinner, Mommy said, 'You listened all day.' Daddy added, 'That deserves something special.' Oliver's eyes sparkled. 'Park picnic?' he asked. Nana and Pop Pop nodded. 'Tomorrow, family picnic!' everyone cheered.
Sunny park meadow late morning; a checkered picnic blanket spread with snacks. Oliver beams while sharing fruit with Mommy, as Lucy naps comfortably at the blanket’s edge.
The sun shone on the picnic blanket. Oliver came when called, shared snacks, and waited his turn. Lucy napped beside him. 'Best listener,' Daddy said. Mommy hugged him. Oliver beamed, 'Family time is special.'
