Life becoming more normal

December 21, 2004

Benjamin and Oliver seem very happy and settled no. The sleeping issues we had been having seemed to have been resolved by putting up their night-lights. Margaret had a total obsession about having the rooms as dark as possible, so with the curtains closed, nothing got in. Oliver in particular was upset with the darkness, I don’t blame him, it is really disconcerting when you can’t see a thing even though your eyes are open. Oliver’s nightmares have stopped also.

The gym crèche setup is going well. They have really settled in there and Judy says they are model children and the boys adore her. There is also the mums and tots playgroup each week for them to look forward to. Finally, some predictability in their lives and they have responded to it.

Their language skills move along each day and we are now teaching them numbers and letters and difference between left and right. They picked up the left and right thing extremely quickly. We made it into a game in the car on Sunday (on the way back from Germany). They can now count to ten in dutch and English also – with prompting.
