Chapter 868 – [Storm’s Parenting Diary]

Pass the elephant kennel and see the other animals.

Fortunately, there was no such problem as the elephant kennel while touring. Even if it’s like a wild beast, I’ll do security related to safety, so I can’t escape easily. It was because elephants had great specs, but it is impossible for normal animals.

That’s what human wisdom is. Even thousands of years ago, they were afraid of such beasts, but now they are confined and used as a spectacle.

……Ah, I sat down again looking at it with a great demon lord’s perspective. Eden raises them, so let’s not think of such pessimistic things.

Anyway, it’s been a while since I’ve been walking around like that. Eden seems to have been so excited that he didn’t notice it, but it’s time to eat.

“Look, there’s a nursing room in the bathroom. Go and have Eden feed you. I’ll be waiting for you.”

“I didn’t bring anything else today, so if I eat mine, I’ll be hungry. Would that be okay?”

“I did that on purpose. If you’re hungry after eating, you can eat something here. Eating at a place like this will remain as a memory, right?”

“Well, you have a point.”

Eating out and eating is a more special law. Even if it doesn’t taste as good as the one I make at home, eating in a place like this is half-hearted.

It is not for nothing that memories are corrected. A zoo of this size cannot be ruined overnight, so there is a high possibility that Eden will remain even after he becomes an adult.

Whenever I make kimchi stew, I also think of the old days, but other people must be similar. I want to leave only good memories for Eden.

While Shion went to the nursing room to nurse Eden, I sat and waited.

It’s a weekday, so there aren’t many people, but there are still many couples and families who pass by. Naturally, there are a lot of people like that in this place.

However, it is quite a strange feeling that what was seen as a couple with Shion in the past will now be seen as her family. Eden is now over 2 years old, but she still can’t believe she’s part of her family.

While I was lost in thought for a while, the two returned. It ended sooner than expected.

“I thought Eden’s breasts were being ripped out by the power of sucking, probably because he was hungry after having fun.”

“Ugh, I know that feeling well”

“By the way, how long will Eden breastfeed and raise?”

“It’s time to stop feeding”

Rather, it was eaten for a long time. Usually, when a child is born for about half a year, it is common to feed baby food and breastfeed until 12 months.

Of course, breastfeeding until the age of two isn’t bad, but I don’t intend to keep breastfeeding forever, so it’s time to wean them off.

“I’m very sorry”

“A child so slowly rises on her own beside her parents”

Eden also eventually grows. The child, who was thought to have been born the other day, suddenly walked on his own and was able to speak. That’s just coming to weaning now.

One day, the day will come when Eden will stand on its own in our arms.

It’s still far away, but it will come someday. On that day, let’s talk about Eden’s growth while having a drink with Shion.

“Dad, Mamma, Mamma”

“Is our Eden hungry? Shall we eat something else instead of Mamma?”

“Do you have any?”

“I don’t know. I’ll look around and if Eden wants something to eat, I’ll buy it.”

It is time for Eden to be weaned. Then she had to taste what people eat rather than breast milk.

I’m making baby food at home, but eating other foods in earnest was another thing. I wonder if there is anything the child can eat, but because Eden’s teeth are as ugly as her rapid growth, she can eat pretty much anything.

I walk around the neighborhood with Eden in my arms. This time I looked around looking for something to eat rather than an animal.

There was a separate restaurant, so I looked around and there were quite a few snacks. Originally, this kind of thing is bad for health, but if you live without eating this kind of thing for the rest of your life, it’s rather bad for your mental health.

If you want to eat something, you should eat it. It is not for nothing that one of the three human desires is appetite.

“Oh!!!!! Jogger!!!!! Jogger!!!!!”

“You mean ice cream, Eden?”

“Asu Cream!!!!”

What Eden is pointing at is the soft serve ice cream often sold in places like this. It was not normal, but the ice cream part was about a span long.

Soft serve ice cream twisted into a unique pretzel shape, and if the length is long, it will look very delicious to the eyes of children. Honestly, it’s more fun to see half of it than taste, but it’s rather good for children.

Besides, it’s a zoo, so it’s decorated with ice cream and small animal cookies. Put two or three on top and maybe get about 1,000 won more.

“Is it milk ice cream? It’s better than plain ice cream. But if you eat too much, you’ll get an upset stomach, so you’d better eat in moderation.”

“Of course it should. Ah, Eden. Then what flavor do you want to eat?”

“The black one!!!!!”

“It tastes like chocolate.”

Did you taste the chocolate flavor while baking the Teletubbies cookies the other day? I chose the chocolate flavor, not the vanilla flavor.

I went and bought an ice cream. The price is not divided into flavors such as chocolate, vanilla, or half and half, but in the first place, the price of one ice cream came out at 5,000 won.

No, since I’m spending money on Eden, it’s not a waste, but isn’t it too expensive to pay 5,000 won for one of these?

The worst as a father is ok but the worst as a cook is RAGE!!!!!

“Animal Cookies!!!!”

“Okay, would you like to eat this first?”

“Uh!!!!”

I took the animal cookie that came out with the ice cream and gave it to Eden. Eden puts the cookie in his mouth and chews it up.

Oh, my daughter is all grown up now. I also eat sweets like that. Thanks to that, my nipples hurt when Eden breastfeeds these days.

After eating three or four cookies, Eden is fed ice cream this time. I had a separate teaspoon, so I scooped out the top of the ice cream and put it in my mouth.

“Um um um um um!!!!”

“Is it delicious, my daughter?”

“Drink it!!!!!”

His anger over profiteering, which cost 5,000 won apiece, melted away when he saw Eden smiling widely.

Yes, if Eden liked it, that was it. What could be more important to her parents than her child’s happiness.

Me, Shion, and Eden shared ice cream with the three of us. Well, even if they share it, Eden ate most of it and Zion left or processed it.

Come to think of it, Shion and I haven’t eaten yet……. Should we just go home and eat?

“After a few hours, it’s closing time. If you’re going to stop by the souvenir shop, I think it’s better to see a few important things.”

“Oh, is it already that time?”

It was around noon when we arrived, so quite a bit of time passed as we looked around and Eden was feeding us. In terms of efficiency, she would have gone to see all the animals in the zoo, but that is not the purpose.

Let’s see… Still, Eden has seen everything he wants to see, and now there’s only one polar bear left.

“Eden, shall we go see Poby now? Poby?”

“Poby!!!! Poby Joa!!!!!”

If you see a polar bear, stop by a souvenir shop and buy some souvenirs, that’s it. Well, there should be plenty of time.

Originally, such a souvenir shop was just a gimmick, but now Eden is a good place to buy toys and memories. If you think about it, our Eden toys don’t have as many types as we thought.

Well, let’s take Eden to the toy store later. I think it would be good to choose what you want to have.

While walking quietly, I look at the animals on the way to the polar bear kennel. Then, on the way, I came across a tiger kennel.

“It’s a tiger!!!!!!”

“I’m sleeping right now”

“After all, it’s a tiger and a big cat. He’ll sleep most of the day.”

A few tigers were separated, curled up, basking in the sun and sleeping peacefully. It looked very languid, and the figure of a tiger gave me the feeling of being a little fat rather than muscular.

It’s not just a tiger, it’s a pig.

However, as expected, the tigers also pricked their ears when Eden shouted, and then they stood up.

“Mom!!! Mom!!!! Look at that, the tiger is awake!!!!!!”

“Oh my, is it real?”

“Oh, look at him walking. Isn’t that cool?”

When the sleeping tiger wakes up and wanders around, people around it admire the atmosphere. Even if you come to the zoo, seeing an active animal is a separate issue, but that appearance is very rare.

And the tigers looked at Eden as a group and purred as if they were hoping for something. As Eden raised her hand, all the tigers’ eyes turned to Eden’s hand.

It’s like waving a toy in front of cats, so it looks cute even though it’s a beast.

“If our Eden throws it in the middle of the jungle, I think I’ll come back as Tarzan.”

“He should have conquered the jungle and come back. He will come back after eating a tiger or a lion.”

Our goal was not to become a tiger, so we set out on our way. When Eden leaves, the loud cries of the tigers announce their disappointment.

“Kurrureurreung!!!!!”

“The next bar tiger!!!!”

When Eden waved his hand, the tigers reluctantly returned to their seats. We arrived at the polar bear kennel while looking at such a state of mind.

Finally, the Poby that our Eden wanted to see comes out!!!!!

“Povida!!!!!!”

“Is it bigger than I thought, Eden?”

“Uh!!!!”

There were two polar bears in the kennel. One was sleeping face down and the other was swimming in a puddle in the kennel.

Then, the swimmer found Eden and came out of the puddle fast, not befitting his size, and cried in this direction.

“Cut!”

“Hello Poby!!!!!”

“Kooooong!!!!”

“But Pororo is over there, so why is Poby here?”

“Cook it !!!!!”

In fact, polar bears and penguins live in different places, so there is no reason to meet. Polar bears literally live in the Arctic, and penguins live in the Antarctic.

Even if they meet, penguins are only one meal for polar bears, but there is no need to spoil children’s innocence.

In the middle of the day, while the polar bear and Eden were talking, the other one who was sleeping woke up. And when he saw Eden, his eyes widened, and he lifted one leg in a sitting position and shook it this way.

“Kooooong!”

“The polar bear is saying hello. This is the polar bear room…!!!!!”

“Looking at such jokes, our Eden has the best effect”

Eden also waves and greets such a polar bear. Other people see the polar bear like that and wave his hand while being amazed, but the polar bears don’t look at other people except for Eden.

After staying in front of the polar bear kennel for a while, I decided to go back after a while. Finally, I’m going to stop by the souvenir shop and buy some toys.

“Eden, I have to say goodbye to Poby one last time.”

“Ugh!!!! Pobyy Papaya!!!!”

“Cook it ~ !!!”

The polar bears regretted that Eden was gone while crying sadly. But in the end, how to break up. After all, you can’t take a polar bear and keep it at home.

And on our way back, we stopped at a souvenir shop.

There were many souvenirs of that concept in the shop, as expected of a zoo. The most notable among them are stuffed animals.

“What kind of doll does Eden want to have?”

“Oh, Pororo, Poby, and Eddy…”

I intend to buy Eden everything he wants, but I have no intention of ruining him by giving him everything he wants. Not some kind of Veruca Salt from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

If Eden was too greedy, she was going to ask her to choose only a few of the things she wanted the most, but Eden only picked three or four dolls to see if he had the self-control.

It’s great that he’s such a low-key kid, but it’s a bit like that because he doesn’t have the opportunity to educate him.

Anyway, as a result, Eden bought penguins, polar bears, desert foxes, and tiger dolls and went back.

It’s quite large, so one doll is the size of Eden’s upper body. If there are 4 such dolls, they will weigh a lot, but it is also my responsibility to lift them.

“My daughter, did you have fun today?”

“Ugh!!!!! Have fun!!!!!”

Eden laughed and shouted. Seeing her smile makes me think she did very well to come to the zoo.

And on the way back. Eden must have been tired from walking around and watching all day today, so she started to doze off in the car on the way back. In Eden’s arms, there is a penguin doll.

As she looks in the rearview mirror, she heads home with a satisfied heart. The sun was setting before she knew it, and it seemed that it would get dark soon.

I had such a peaceful day today……..

“Right!!!!!!!!!!!”

“Oh, what a surprise?!?!?!”

I was genuinely startled by the sound of her screaming as Eden suddenly came to her senses and woke up while driving.

No!!!!! Shion and Eden don’t look deeply into their feelings, so when they surprise them, they say they’re normally surprised!!!!!

“Krong did his job!!!!!”

“……Crong?”

“Is Crong an audi?”

Wait, I think we talked about that this morning.

Crong is a dinosaur!!!!!
