*Joey and Daniel spend the day with their two year old triplets! Thank you to Rami-Is-A-Sweetheart for helping me write this! Enjoy! Love • Bree ❤️*

It was a nice, cool day in the Graceffa-Preda household. The older eight children are at school for the day except of course Koa, Sienna, Tristan and Bria.

But the three toddlers were rather fussy today,
making messes of their food, yelling, and pouting
a lot.

Daniel and Joey have both noticed that this has been going on for a few days now with the triplets. The two men know that this was all for a reason, and that the triplets weren't in physical pain or sick.

So finally, they got the trio to calm down after having an afternoon snack and talk to them, which is hard since two year olds are still learning how to talk.

"How do you feel today?" Daniel asks the triplets softly and patiently.

"I am mad!" Bria says, while folding her arms in a
huff.

"I sad. Wanna cwy." Tristan says and does the same as his older sister.

"I sad too. An' mad." Sienna speaks up as well.

"Why are you all sad and mad? Can you tell Daddy and Papa?" Joey asks the triplets with a little worry.

"Baby Koa." Bria, Tristan and Sienna all say in unison and softly.

Joey and Daniel were both extremely surprised by Koa's arrival in late January because Joey had NO idea he was even pregnant.

However, Joey and Daniel thought the triplets were adjusting well to having a baby brother but not quite. 

A light goes off in Daniel's head and he nods, "Do
you three feel like baby Koa gets all the attention?" Daniel asks the triplets and all three toddlers nod in agreement.

"Well, it's very okay to feel those feelings. You can cry if you want. And when you feel angry, you can tell me and Daddy." Daniel suggests and then continues after reading their body language.

"But we always will love you no matter what. Little babies like Koa need a lot of taking care of, because they can't talk or eat by themselves like you three. You three are big kids now." Joey says to the triplets.

Joey gives Tristan, Bria and Sienna hugs one by
one when they come to him. Daniel then gives Tristan, Bria and Sienna hugs one while Joey gets an idea.

"What if we go to Build-A-Bear today? Just you
three, me and Papa?" Joey offers to the triplets.

"YES!" Bria, Tristan and Sienna all yell in excitement as they jump up and down.

"That sounds like a really fun plan for our day! Let me ask Nonna if she can watch baby Koa for us." Daniel says to the triplets.

Bria, Tristan and Sienna all giggle as they run around the living room and Joey smiles up at Daniel.

*Bria, Tristan and Sienna's outfits*

Daniel and Joey both already know that Maria will happily watch Koa for them for a few hours but they always want to ask and make sure she doesn't have any plans.

Daniel picks up Koa out of his swing that he was napping in and holds him close as he slowly walks over to Maria's bedroom, which is on the same floor as the living room.

Daniel knocks on Maria's bedroom door, waiting for Maria to answer.

"Come in!" Maria says happily as Daniel opens the bedroom door and is greeted by Lark.

"Hi, sweet girl!" Daniel says happily petting her before walking over to Maria who is at her desk.

"There's my sweet baby! Come to Nonna! Come to Nonna, Koa Bear!" Maria says to Daniel as Daniel hands Koa to her.

"Mom, do you mind watching Koa for us for a few hours? Joey and I are going to take the triplets out to spend some much needed time with them. They are struggling with Koa taking a lot of Joey and I's time right now, especially lately." Daniel says to Maria.

"Of course I can! You two both know I absolutely love to watch my grandbabies. And I'll pick up Ash and Eden from preschool." Maria says as she kisses Koa's cheek.

"You're amazing, thank you so much. It really helps." Daniel says with a grin, truly grateful for his mother's patience and kindness.

"Be good for Nonna, baby." Daniel coos sweetly, and baby Koa coos back.

"Bye, Daniel! I hope it goes well." Maria answers and rocks Koa a little bit.

Daniel says goodbye to Maria, then he goes back to Joey, who is busy getting shoes on the three toddlers.

Sienna, of course, is putting her own shoes on.
Despite being the smallest of them all, she was quite intelligent.

"Good job, Sie!" Daniel praises, proud of her
understanding.

"Fank you, Papa!" Sienna grins.

"Okay, let's all go have a good time! Come on, kiddos!" Joey tells his husband and kids.

Sienna, Bria and Tristan all run to the door and
quickly say goodbye to the dogs and cats before hopping into the van.

Joey buckles up Bria and Sienna whilst Daniel buckles Tristan up into his carseat. Then the adults both get ready to go and begin driving.

Sienna sings along to the radio, liking to sing with any music just like her sibling Haven. The toddler also liked Twenty One Pilots, especially their album 'Trench'.

"I love your singing, Sie Sie! And Tris!" Daniel says to the kids happily as he drives.

Joey looks over to Daniel, since he's in the passenger seat, and mentions something.

"Do you notice how much happier they are already? This morning, they were pretty cranky." Joey whispers in a low voice.

Daniel smiles and happily nods as he holds Joey's hand and rubs Joey's small baby bump.

"They are happy and that makes me happy. They are just learning how to express their feelings, they are in a rough age group where they are learning how to talk and express themselves." Daniel says and Joey nods.

"Daddy? Papa? Where baby Koa?" Tristan asks Joey and Daniel, wondering that Koa isn't with them.

"Baby Koa is with Nonna!" Joey says to Tristan.

"Aw otay! I didn't want baby sad!" Tristan says, causing Joey and Daniel's hearts to melt.

"Baby Koa isn't sad! He is going to have a fun day with Nonna while you three have fun with Daddy and I." Daniel says to the triplets.

"Oh! Otay, sound good." Bria agrees, and Tristan nods.

Joey and Daniel both find it sweet how easily babies pick up simple mannerisms such as nodding in agreement.

"We go make teddies!" Sienna cheers as she remembers where they're going to.

Sienna wasn't the best at talking, but more
advanced physically, like walking downstairs by herself first, whereas her brother and sister were more talkers.

"That's right! You can make any kind of animal
you like! Frogs, bears, kitties, bunnies, pigs, sloths and more!" Daniel coos.

'"I wanna make a piggy!" Sienna decides happily.

"I make a monkey! Ooh ooh, ah ah!" Tristan
giggles loudly and acts like a monkey.

"I don't know yet." Bria declares, still thinking
about it before getting distracted as they arrive at the mall.

Joey and Daniel help all three kids get out of the car once they park, holding everyone's hands.

But Tristan decides his legs hurt and makes grabby hands at Joey.

"What do you want, TT?" Joey asks nicely, encouraging him to use his words.

"Up..... Pick up, pwease!" Tristan corrects himself as he asks.

"Of course, buddy!" Joey says as he picks up Tristan and holds him close.

Daniel happily holds Bria and Sienna's hands as the five of them walk into the mall and over to Build-A-Bear!

"There's Build-A-Bear, guys!" Joey says with a big smile at the triplets.

"YAY!" Bria, Tristan and Sienna all say in unison with big smiles.

"Let's go inside!" Daniel says as he, Bria, Sienna, Tristan and Joey all walk into Build-A-Bear together.

"Do you wanna walk around with your sisters?" Joey asks Tristan and Tristan happily nods.

Joey puts Tristan down and Tristan walks around the store with Bria and Sienna.

Sienna happily walks over to the animal fabric area, wanting to choose everything, because she just was so excited.

"Here's the piggies, Sie Sie." Joey says and hands her the not yet stuffed fabric.

Tristan meanwhile was looking with Bria and Daniel at the outfits. He points at one eagerly,
"Tris get shirt and pants for my monkey, pweeease?"

"Me too, Papa." Bria asks nicely and looks at a
blue outfit.

"We can pick out clothes, but first, we have to choose your animal friend! Come over here!" Daniel says happily and helps them pick.

"Monkey!" Tristan giggles as he's handed the fabric.

"Which one do you want, Bria?" Joey questions and grins.

Bria genuinely thinks about her decision for a minute, then points at an axoloti one.

"What is that, Daddy? It cute!" The two year old asks curiously.

"That's an axolotl. They are a type of salamanders, and they swim." Joey explains.

"Aww! Dat cute!" Bria says with a big grin.

"Do you want that? If that's what you want baby!" Joey says as he hands the fabric to Bria.

Bria is going to get an axolotl, Tristan is going to get a monkey and Sienna is going to get a pig.

"Okay! Let's get them stuffed and fluffy! Do you wanna help the lady stuff your new friends?" Daniel asks the triplets.

"YES!" Bria, Tristan and Sienna all say in unison with big smiles on their faces.

Joey and Daniel have big smiles on their faces as well, glad to see their babies so excited.

"Okay! Let's go over here!" Joey says cheerfully and they all go over to the stuffing area.

"Hello! My name is Ruby. I love the animals you
all chose! What did you pick?" Ruby, the Build-A-Bear employee asks.

"MONKEY!" Tristan yells, feeling very happy.

"Inside voice, buddy." Daniel softly reminds his son.

"I got a piggy, see?" Sienna hands out her fabric to be fluffy first, and Ruby gently takes it to stuff.

"Ah-sho-tal! I picked dat!" Bria says, carefully
pronouncing the word.

"Nice choices! Let's stuff your new furry friends!" Ruby says, causing Bria, Tristan and Sienna to all cheer.

Sienna begins to stuff her pig first and Joey takes a small video of her doing it.

"Great job, Sie Sie!" Daniel says as Sienna giggles and smiles.

"There you go!" Ruby says to Sienna and Sienna smiles.

"Fank you!" Sienna says as she hugs her pig tightly.

"You're welcome! Whose next?" Ruby says with a cheeky grin.

"Bria, do you wanna go ahead?" Joey asks Bria and Bria nods.

"Uh huh!" Bria says with a cheeky smile.

"Go ahead!" Joey says as Bria happily walks over to Ruby and hands her axolotl to Ruby.

Ruby waits patiently and lets Bria stuff the axolotl but she helps, which is fairly easy.

"Nice and fwuffy!" Bria giggles, excited to be
helping a lot.

Daniel then realized that probably the reason Bria even recognized the creature was because she had seen her big siblings play Minecraft, which has all kinds of animals.

"Beautiful! Great job." Ruby says when it's
finished and gives it to Bria.

"Tank you very much!" Bria tells Ruby and does a little spin.

"You're welcome! Now for you, little dude. Can
we make your monkey cuddly?" Ruby asks and
Tristan looks confused, holding on tightly.

The little boy didn't quite understand the process of Build-A-Bear.

"You have to press this big pedal to make your monkey fluffy!" Joey explains to Tristan.

"Help?" Tristan asks Joey softly.

"Of course, buddy! I can help! Let's step on the pedal together! Okay? One! Two! Three!" Joey says as he and Tristan push the pedal down to make his monkey fluffy.

"Great job! Here you go!" Ruby says, handing Tristan his monkey.

"Fank you!" Tristan says happily to Ruby.

"You are very welcome!" Ruby says to Tristan says with a big grin.

"What do you three say to Ruby for helping us?" Daniel says to Bria, Tristan and Sienna.

"Fank you!" Bria, Tristan and Sienna all say in unison to Ruby.

"You are very welcome! Enjoy the rest of your time here!" Ruby says to the triplets with a cheeky grin.

Joey and Daniel then take the kids back over to the outfit area to let them each chose an accessory or outfit if they like.

"You can pick some clothes for your new
animals!" Daniel says in a baby voice. He was enjoying seeing the triplets so happy.

"Yeah! Fanks!" Tristan and Sienna both say together as they look at the shoes and shirts.

"No clowthes for mine, pwease!" Bria says politely, which makes her siblings giggle.

"What are the animals' names?" Joey asks curiously.

"Georgie!" Sienna declares, grinning eagerly.

"Turtle!" Tristan says to Joey proudly, and bursts out laughing at the silly name.

"Boogie!" Bria says with a smile.

Tristan and Sienna each pick an outfit for their stuffed animal friends!

Bria ultimately picks a hat for her stuffed animal and smiles at Daniel and Joey.

"Are you guys all done?" Daniel asks Bria, Tristan and Sienna as he smiles at the happy triplets holding their new stuffed animals.

"Yes, Papa! Fank you!" All three joyful toddlers chime in.

"Okay! Let's go pay for them!" Joey says and
smiles.

Bria hugs her toy axolotl tightly, humming in
content. Tristan sees and copies what she's doing with Turtle.

"Boogie so fwuffy!" Bria says to her family.

"Boogie is fluffy! Perfect for cuddling with." Daniel agrees.

"Daddy, Georgie and me hungry." Sienna tells Joey as they walk out of the store.

"Are you hungry too, Bria and Tristan?" Joey asks Bria and Tristan.

"Uh huh!" Bria says as she twirls around and smiles.

"Ya I hungwry!" Tristan says as he giggles.

"Okay! Let's get something to eat! Do you three want pizza?" Daniel asks the triplets.

"YES!" Bria, Tristan and Sienna all say in unison to Daniel.

Daniel and Joey pay for the three stuffed animals before they all walk over to the food court of the mall.

As they all arrive to the pizza place, Tristan
realises how ordering the food works.

"I want pie-applwe pizza, pwease!" Tristan says to Daniel and Joey.

"Okay, who else wants pineapple pizza?" Joey
says with a laugh.

Sienna raises her hand eagerly. She was also
going through a fruit kick like her brother, instead of raspberry, though, it was pineapple and mango.

"But Georgie wants olives on pizza, Daddy."
Sienna says, holding back from smiling.

"We can get some olives too!" Joey says with a big grin.

"I want just cheese!" Bria says to Joey and Daniel.

"Okay! We can get a few pieces of pineapple, cheese and olive pizza!" Daniel says, causing all of kids to cheer.

"Sit down with me! Papa is going to order everything for us. Let's find a table." Joey says as he smiles at Daniel before taking the triplets to a booth table.

Daniel smiles back and begins to order the slices of pizza, and the triplets and Joey sit down and chat.

"Monkey says his favowite pizza is sardines!"
Tristan says and squeals happily. He was
becoming a jokester.

"Eww! What sardine?" Sienna questions and hugs her stuffed animal.

"Sardines are fish!" Joey says and laughs at how silly they were all being.

"Yuck!" Bria and Sienna say in unison.

"Bri Bri, what's Boogie's favorite pizza flavor?"
Joey asks happily.

"Eeese!" Bria says proudly to Joey.

"Cheese is my favorite too!" Joey says with a big grin.

Daniel walks over with all of the drinks and sits in between Bria and Sienna.

Bria, Tristan and Sienna all happily drink their drinks, which is their favorite apple juice.

"My mom texted me a picture of herself and Koa. Koa is sleeping on her chest." Daniel says with a grin.

"She is spoiling him!" Joey says with a chuckle.

"Nonna!" Tristan says, after hearing the word Nonna.

"Yup! Nonna sent me a picture of herself and Koa!"

"Aww!" Bria says with a cheeky grin.

"Dat tute!" Sienna says as she claps her hands.

'I wanna see, pwease!" Bria says to Daniel and
leans over.

"Me too!" Tristan mentions and copies.

Daniel nods and holds his phone out to show
them both, and even Sienna looks at the picture briefly.

"Awww! Tute!" Tristan and Bria both say and giggle.

"Koa tute!" Sienna agrees, her eyes lighting up
when she hears the pizza is ready.

"I'm gonna get the pizza, guys. Be right back!"
Joey says happily and goes over to the area.

"Daddy and I love you three so so much." Daniel says to Bria, Tristan and Sienna, making all of them smile.

"Are you three excited to start school soon?" Daniel asks the triplets, curious on their reaction.

Daniel and Joey decided to let's the triplets go to preschool at age two just like they did with Ash.

Daniel and Joey saw how well it benefited Ash when the triplets were babies, so they hope it will be the same for the triplets when they twins come in November.

"Ya!" Tristan says with a cheeky grin.

"I cited for school!" Sienna says as she smiles.

"Ya! Me too!" Bria says with a giggle.

"I'm so glad! Cooper, Crew, Junioer? Jax, Luca and Delilah are all going to be on your class!"

Cooper and Crew are Shane and Ryland's twin boys, Juniper is Hannah Hart's daughter Jax is Ricky Dillon's son, Luca is Will and RJ's son and Delilah is Jeffree Star and Nate's daughter.

Daniel and Joey are relieved that the triplets all seem excited for preschool, because Tristan had on and off clingy phases.

"Good! I think you'll enjoy school. Anyway, did you guys have a fun day today?" Joey asks and smiles.

"Yes!! So fun!" Sienna says eagerly.

"I wuved it! Tanks, Daddy and Papa!" Bria agrees with a grin on her face. She was always the talker.

"'You're welcome!" Daniel and Joey say at separate times but both nicely.

"Awe-some!" Tristan nods happily.

The five of them talk for a bit more, and enjoy
their day before eventually going back home! :)
