Brandon has now gone through a radical change in his skin's melanin levels. The sunny clime of Monte Vista has warmed his skin color from blue to brown!
The last time he was seen blue was while he was upstairs in the sun room painting. (Brandon may be a genius, but he's not particularly artistic! Let's hope he learns fast.)
Brandon decided he liked his new look. No need to advertise his genie blood to the world, so he made a couple of adjustments to his wardrobe. (Notice the silly photo of Angel and Brandon in the background.)
Angel didn't seemed fazed at all. Brandon figured being an Imaginary Friend made it easy for her to accept unusual body morphs in sims.
Brandon: Uh, Angel? Notice anything different about me?
Angel: Well, you're not wearing your turban anymore. Oh, and you have a nice new suntan!
The day went on like any other. Angel made two new batches of nectar down in the food cellar.
Then she took care of Carlson. He's close to aging up to toddler now. Angel will miss her little bundle of cuddly baby, but she's also looking forward to Carlson's next stage of life.
Brandon went to work at his assigned beach. All thoughts of skin changes forgotten as he scanned the waters and stayed alert to trouble. But the little dog watching him wasn't fooled by his new look. Animals know a genie when they see one.
For most of the day, everything was quiet. Few swimmers were out that morning
Gradually though, people began to show up.
And one elderly gentleman found himself in trouble!
Brandon was quick to come to his aid. All it took was giving the poor fellow a floating device, and a life was saved.
Brandon: Now you just paddle on back to shore, sir. In these situations, you should try to do as much for yourself as possible. Like getting back on a horse when you fall off.
Victim: But I'm exhausted. I almost died!
Brandon: Nah, you're ok. All you need to do is kick your legs a little. The float will do the rest.
Victim: Well, all right. I guess you know what's best, young man.
When it comes to lifeguarding, Brandon always knows what's best. He's confident of that. Brandon was made for lifeguarding. He has the muscular sleek build of a natural water jock.
Around about sunset, another swimmer got herself into trouble. She panicked! But Brandon was soon by her side.
Once he made sure she had a good hold on the float he gave her, Brandon swam to shore to look out for other dangers. He didn't realize a boater was about to whack the drowning victim in the head with an oar!
Brandon: Miss, you're going to have to moor that boat over by the pier. This is a swimmers only area. ...Hey! Watch that oar!
Lady Boater: Oh, so sorry, Mr. Lifeguard. This is the first time I've had to row myself, you know. I don't suppose you could give me some pointers? Care to join me?
Brandon: Maybe another time, ma'am. I'm on duty right now. Saving lives.
Lady Boater: So courageous! You must be very strong.
Brandon: Just doing my job, miss.
Being a lifeguard was demanding work. Brandon couldn't slack off--ever--and the days are often long. Good thing he was a genie and could summon himself something to eat.
But this was HIS beach. He had folks relying on him (like groupies). These girls might need his assistance at any moment. Brandon couldn't take his eyes off them for even one second!
__________
Back home, Brandon quickly went into family mode. (Everyone fights over who gets to change Carlson's dirty diaper. Really? Brandon seems to forget he only has to clap his hands and the baby would be genie-cleaned.)
But he did use his powers to summon Angel's favorite food: key lime pie. A nice surprise for her since she'd been making nectar most of the day.
Brandon may have female followers on the beach, but Angel is the only one he cares about.
Teyla: Excuse me, you two. I'm trying to catch the sports scores here. I have a bet placed on the Bridgeport Steelers and the Appaloosa Cowboys game!
And so ends the first day Brandon spent with his new sun-kissed skin.
The birthday party is a small family affair and is held outdoors.
The transition occurs without a hitch. Well, except I had to give Carlson decent clothes ... and some hair.
But I didn't recolor his hair, just changed the style from the usual bald look.
Carlson has his mother's hair color and his dad's eyes. He pulls out his Imaginary Friend Dalmo right away. 
The parents eat cake while the nanny clears away the leftovers.
Angel still breastfeeds her son. No special animations for this though.
Teyla made the choice to teach Carlson to walk.
He learns quickly and does well for his first steps.
After a long day, the family rock together.
Angel wanted to teach Carlson to talk.
That left Brandon to help with other toddler skills.
Brandon doesn't know much about reading music, but he can pick out tunes on the xylophone with Carlson.
Potty training is the worst of the toddler skills, but someone's got to teach it.
