Baby Andrew Headcannons!

I Will spare you and share only a morsel

He was taken in by Bee from the foster system when he almost 6

He was at the Spears before, so it still plays a role into him growing up, but how it is shaped through a different environment

His first night Bee gives him a lightning mcqueen toy (It never leaves his person)

Bee has a dog named Milo, and Andrew very quickly bonds and becomes his best friend.

They run around the back yard together and make a mess in the garden, and most days Bee can find Andrew sprawled out with Milo on the sofa.

Andrew still has trauma from the spears, and the foster system is a high stress big environment, sometimes he gets too overwhelmed when speaking and Bee implement the thumbs up thumbs down method early.

Bee keeps him on a specific schedule in the beginning, no surprises, gradually they can change the routine.

Andrew can not keep a pair of shoes together, there is always a missing mate. Sometimes it is his fault, sometimes Milo is trying to keep him at home.

Andrew tends to wake up early, earlier than Bee.

By extension she offers him small bits of independence and teaches him how to make toast and slathered in peanut butter. ( Don’t tell Bee, but he gives Milo some)

She teaches him to cook and let's him help to feel included, she even makes homemade ice cream, he likes the lemon one.

Andrew dislikes storms and sometimes, when bee checks on him at night, she sees him sat straight up in bed and curled over on Milo, clutching the dogs fur and quietly crying.

When he is ready she takes him with her to the farmers market in town every sunday.

He meets the purple lady there (iykyk long time follower)

Andrew gets alot of Cars clothing

Andrew likes Bee;s house, it in the countryside, and its not crowded, but it isnt too big and scary either, the sun comes in just right through the windows, and he can play with Milo outside. Bee even lets him and even encourages him to help in the garden.

Andrew has a difficult time with therapy at first, and while Bee validates that fear, she doesn’t foster it, she finds ways to ease his worries and help him go, even if he doesn’t talk to the therapist the whole time.

He often brings his McQueen toy and bee encourages him to bring items that might bring comfort.

Going back to the schedule, its easily accessible for him, so he knows what is happening on what day, his therapy days are circled in blue.

The first time Andrew laughs is when Bee is teaching him to knead dough for bread, he spills some flour on Milo who sneezes.

At first he thinks he is in trouble and after gauging her reaction he laughs

When he is scared he hides under the bed and Milo crawls under with him.

Sometimes Andrew hides behind him.

Andrew’s first gift to Bee is one of those shitty first grade crafts and its of a bee and it stays on her fridge for years.

Andrew is often scared of social worker visits, and when they do he hides his shoes so they can’t take him, you know kid logic.

I’ve been debating giving Bee a husband for awhile, but if I do he is entirely planned out, ily sam

So Milo, provided I include Sam, is a retired K-9 from when Sam was still active duty in the military. They kinda retired together and Sam got to keep him, and Sam likes that Andrew makes Milo run around all silly and goofy, and feeds him all the treats.

Andrew was very scared of Sam at first, and sam kept his distance. To ease the transition, it was Sam who introduced Milo to Andrew, and even gave him a toy to give Milo.

On summer night, when Andrew is overwhelmed by a holiday party they are throwing, Sam takes Andrew far off into the backyard with two jars and they run around catching lightning bugs, away from all the noise.

Sam never takes it personally when Andrew has his days of avoidance, he can understand why, he doesn’t need details.

Sam always asks before touching andrew, even if it's to help him put on his coat.

One morning, when Andrew is getting ready for school, Sam shows him this cool trick, that milo can retrieve his socks from him.

As he grows more comfortable Andrew becomes a culprit of ‘Wearing my dads big tee shirts’, and its so cute.

Andrew does little league exy, not coached by wymack, I still want him tobe a college coach, but he and Sam were already good friends, so its funny when Neil and andrew become glue.

Bee packs to juice boxes because Andrew and Neil share anyway.

On the way home from games andrews shoes are in different parts of the car, he has one sock on, he has spilled his snack, and fell asleep.

Bee is on her last marble because every time they head off for practice andrew can;t find his shoe.

Whenever he is physically hurts he always runs to Sam first.

The more Andrew knows Neil and the longer they are friend he adopts Neil's trait of going through a box of band aids a week.

Andrew doesn't like that Neil is in the other first grade class.

Andrew was scared at first when Sam would brush his knotted hair after his baths, but now he likes it and practically melts.

Abby and Bee loves to talk smack about the overly competitive parents, “Did they boo a six year old?”,”Twice.”

Both Sam and Bee have large families, so they were worried on how to help Andrew ease into these big family gatherings. He often stays close to one of their sides and over times run around with the cousins, but by the end of the night he is curled in Sams lap, fast asleep, and safe

Andrew hates school at first

Hates it

He despises the first day ‘My Name Is’ tag. And he misses Bee

He will give Sam the hardest times in the morning, draggin his feet ‘misplacing’ his shoes.

They have to work on that.

Andrew first playground brawl was a learning moment.

Bee asks Andrew why he pushed his classmate, and learns that they have been bullying him and pushed him first.

Sam teaches him we dont immediately resolve to violence if possible, but he is secretly proud Andrew won tbh.

Bee tends to not give Andrew any sugar a little before bedtime, but on bad nights sam let's him eat cookies while they talk at the table.

Andrew like the build model cars in the garage with Sam and sometimes plays with his hot whelps on the floor of sams office

Andrew has the craziest, curliest, bed head.

its so cute

Ive been debating on killing sam, because its aftg.

Andrew makes neil matching friendship bravelts and they havse their jersey numbers on them.

Neither boy takes them off.

Sometimes, when Andrew has bad dreams, Sam takes him downstairs and they watch cars.

Sam, unfortunately, knows every word.

I could go on forever, but best I stop.
