Jack and Sally Parent Headcanons

Jack Skellington

He was so excited to be a dad that he decked out their nursery with tons of Halloween-esque stuff, like a spider-and-skull mobile and tiny guillotines for toys.
He made tons of lists of names for their kids.
He repeatedly checks on all the cribs solely because he’s so excited to have children and wants to see them every chance he gets.
Whenever he holds any of his babies, they tend to suck on the wings of his bat bow tie and on the tips of his fingers.
If Sally’s too busy to watch the kids, he’ll gladly take as many with him to work. (Juggling 5 skeleton babies while planning for Halloween he somehow manages).
If any of the babies wake up during the night, he’s the first to send them back to sleep, usually by singing them lullabies. His voice is so calming that they’re knocked out in an instant.
He teaches them the words to ‘This Is Halloween’.
He plays peek-a-boo by switching from his skeletal form to his Pumpkin King form. The babies love it.
He also teaches them how to crawl like a spider, let out little shrieks, and how to take off their heads.
He tends to swear in French or some other language, but occasionally one of the babies will repeat him and he freaks out.

Sally Skellington

She makes each of the babies their own sets of clothes, sewing and patching any that get a little wear and tear.
She also makes them matching pajamas and/or clothes.
Like Jack, Sally will also sing to the babies until they sleep. (But she prefers rocking them more).
They like feeling her yarn hair and her stitches, so she lets them, but keeps a close eye so they won’t pull a seam or cause a knot.
Because she gets premonitions, she can be a little overprotective of her little lumplings.
In fact, the first thing she wanted was to ensure nothing Jack had in the nursery could harm them (by Halloween Town standards, of course).
She reads lots of stories to them, usually fairy tales.
She likes to take them on walks and always insists on pushing the stroller.
Sometimes she’ll play hide-and-seek by letting them find one of her dismembered arms or legs(which she also uses for other games).
