#I usually think of Sport and Ithro as brothers actually

[shoelace-and-friends]

Pabbi Ithro + Baby Sport headcanons

*When Sport was born? Ithro cried 

*When Sport took his first steps? Ithro cried 

*When Sport’s first word was “Pabbi”?  C R I E D 

*He gets so proud of watching his baby boy grow, you have no idea 

*He’s 100% that dad who brags and shares EVERYTHING too 

* Ithro: “My son just learned his abc’s! My son can do a whole somersault all by himself! My son can run now!  My son’s only three but he can already ride a bike without training wheels! My son grew two inches in the past month! My son just-” 

Everyone: “We GET IT!” 

*Sport was a REALLY hyper baby, btw. That goes without saying though 

*He was tiny and he was FAST so Ithro actually ended up getting a lot of bumps and bruises from crawling under the coffee table and running around the house trying to catch him

*Honestly, baby-proofing the place was just as much for Ithro as it was for Sport 

*Sport is a gifted gymnast like his dad, and by the time he was preschool age he could already do flips and walk around on his hands 

*The amazing thing is even though Ithro did teach him a couple things, Sport actually learned how to do things like splits and somersaults and cartwheels and one-handed pushups himself just by watching his pabbi train every day 

*Exercising was of course, a bonding thing for them. Ithro would do push-ups with Sport sitting on his back and he’d lift Sport a lot like his weights. He also totally had one of those things that Craig from Dream Daddy has where you run with your baby strapped to your chest 

*Sport was a handful sometimes though, especially after he learned to walk 

*Ithro didn’t want to, ....but he didn’t really have a choice but to put him on a baby leash when he was a toddler because they would go to the store or something and Sport would run around and touch e v e r y t h i n g

*Seriously like, Ithro would have his back turned for one second and then the next thing he knows his son is literally climbing on the grocery store shelves and displays. He’s on the top shelf OH MY GODS HE’S STANDING ON THE TOP SHELF

*So yeah Sport was a rambunctious baby 

*Also, getting Sport to take his fish oil every day was almost impossible. He really hated it and would squirm and spit it out

*The only way he got him to take his fish oil was by mixing it with apple purée since apple is his favorite food 

*It was disgusting. 10/10 Ithro gags every time. But, anything to get his weird son to take his goddamn fish oil 

*Also, for some reason, baby Sport did not like clothes???

*Ithro had to be careful when inviting guests over because Ithro could be talking to someone and all the sudden a naked elf baby toddles into the living room with his pull-up on his head. He dresses him again and he just comes back naked ten minutes later 

*There is absolutely photos of naked baby sport with his diaper on his head in the family photo album tho 

*Ithro also taught Sport chess in an effort to get him to stay still for a longer period of time and also to improve his concentration. That’s why Sportacus thinks of chess as a sport to this day 

*Ithro affectionally called Sportacus his little “kangaroo” and his “jumping bean”. Coincidentally, ...some of the things Robbie also ended up calling him 

*He called him  his little “bouncy ball” too
