Roxanne begins training the triplets in the fine art of walking. Bertram is the experiment child, but he seems to at least grasp the basic concept of standing up.
Bianca prefers to romp inside the toy box.
"Soon..."
Despite the triplets being a handful, Roxanne is lucky to have kids like Alexa and Andrew to help out.
Awww, sisterly love.
Life at the Gregory household is pretty crazy...
But it's still a good life.
"And coming up on the inside is Bertram. He's a bit behind Beckham but that's not stopping either of them!"
Max bonds with his little brothers and sister. While he can't understand their babbling, he does understand the joy of building with blocks.
A few days later, Roxanne decides to take everyone to the park.
Babies...babies everywhere.
Andrew is feeling rather contemplative right now. He's going to become and adult later tonight. While he's not growing up alone, he definitely has a lot to think about.
At long last, the oldest children of the Gregory clan become young adults.
Excitement, anxiety, worry, joy, and a whole other host of emotions fill this day for Andrew and Alexa.
And here's Andrew, all grown up. Aaand I forgot to get Alexa's grown up shot. I'm sorry...I get better as I go on. Besides, the oldest children are always the experiment children.
Roxanne congratulates her oldest. She can't believe he's all grown up already.
This is the best you're gonna get of an adult shot of Alexa. But this is also the children's picture frame. When each child reaches their young adult stage, their picture will be placed here, so there's always a reminder of the ones that have been here.
Let the potty training games begin!
"Dude! Andrew! Get out!"
"I will get you yet, laundry."
And Beckham is showing us the ancient art of block yoga, while also showing us the power of standing IN the block table.
I'm sorry (not really) about all these dumb super cutesy family moments. I just love it all.
Time for some more birthdays! Today it' s Max's birthday. The triplets could care less, but at least Mom and Andrew are here to celebrate.
Don't you just love how jazzed he is to grow up?
I--erm--hello there, rather attractive young man.
Now that Max is all grown up (mostly) Andrew and Alexa sit down to have some serious discussions about their future.
"Think we should tell Mom?"
"Yeah, it's time."
"Mom, we've been thinking, and we're ready to move out. Max'll be here to help you with the triplets and we'll still be in Riverview, but we're ready for our next step in life."
She suspected, but it doesn't make it any easier when Roxanne has to say good-bye to her oldest.
"Bye, Andrew. I can't believe this day is here. I knew it was coming, but I can't believe you two are all grown up."
"Mom, don't worry. We won't be more than five minutes away. Ten tops."
"Bye, Mom."
"Bye, sweetheart."
With that, Andrew and Alexa bid good-bye to their younger siblings.
"Bye, bro."
"Dude, does this mean I can have your cologne? It smells way good."
"Shut up, Max."
"Bye, Max. Be good for Mom, okay?"
"Yeesh, what are you? My other mom?"
Awww, so cute.
"Gonna miss you, little guy."
"Don't cry, don't cry, whatever you do, Alexa, don't cry..."
"I'm gonna miss you the most..."
With all the good-byes out of the way, Andrew and Alexa leave the house and move into their own...
...with a really ugly van.
...I didn't do anything. That van came with the house they bought.
And that concludes chapter four! Yay!
Looking back at all these pictures makes me so sad. All these Sims are gone now...
