Chapter 1.10- What we can’t See

Rosa is becoming more Musical and loves to make music with the xylophone

2.1

Alex ensures he’s in every night in time for the bedtime routine.

He still spends a lot of time playing tips, I am still on maternity after all

I enjoy cooking pancakes for the family

Jammie enjoys playing Tank races

Finally, my maternity leave was up and I could return to work

Jammie enjoys playing tag by herself, she is certainly unique

She gets on well with the babysitter and he gets her to interact with him

The babysitter is good with the younger children too

Jammie also likes to talk to thin air about the weather

She loves making things with blocks too

Matteo likes playing with tanks too.

Chapter 1.9- Returning to work

Rosa like her brother loves to use the dolls from the doll’s house to chew on

Jammie has found a new hobby painting and can spend hours at the easel

Alex too still loves to paint and is developing his skill well

Mateo had found the shape sorter now Jammie no longer plays with it and adores banging the shapes on top of it.

Rosa got a creepy doll in the post from some relatives of mine.

She prefers to play with the blocks at the play table thankfully and that doll was used only once,

I finally went back to work, Alex stayed at home with the kids as we can’t afford a babysitter and I got a promotion.

I used the tv to work-out so Alex could go out and play for tips that night and improved my skill.

Alex improved his painting skill

Rosa enjoys making music with the xylophone as she sings. She really loves to sing and is quite a good singer.

I attempted to cook spaghetti and it didn’t go well.

Rosa decided to copy Matteo and play inside the toybox with the cars instead of on the floor.

Chapter 1.8- Skilling Time

Jammie and Mateo finally had a nap at the same time so I did the laundry as it had begun to pile up.

I also cleaned the kitchen counters as they had quite a lot of grime and grease on them

Finally, I went into Labour and Rosa-Mia was born. I had a difficult delivery and started haemorrhaging so they had to operate. I am no longer able to have children. Rosa is my heir and will be taking over this legacy when she is old enough.

I wanted to improve my handiness skill as appliances are constantly breaking. We can’t afford a repairman and I don’t want to get electrocuted, I headed down to the library and read a diy book.

Me and Alex try to me romantic as much as possible, luckily for us the kids are quite good at sleeping though the night.

I have been watching cookery shows a lot lately and finally have learnt so new recipes such as spaghetti some kids favourite.

Soon it’s time for birthdays, Little Jammie is now old enough for school where has the time gone and baby Rosa is a toddler

She is quite bright and soon learnt to walk and use the potty.

I continued to watch my cookery shows and soon developed my skill even more and can now cook my leftovers.

Rosa was a more physical child but soon started to show an Intrest in words so I sat down with her and helped her with pronunciation.

We have plenty of room but Mateo loves to sit in the toybox to play with his toys for so reason.

Jammie seems to have invented a friend. I hope when she goes to school, she will meet and befriend other children.

Chapter 1.7- Toddler Fun

Mateo learnt to talk quite fast but sometimes he needs help to pronounce his letters correctly.

Alex has taken to sneaking into resorts to where the customers are to get better tips, he hasn’t got caught yet.

Mateo loved learning to walk and is now into everything.

Jammie mastered the shape sorter and has now started learning the names of the shapes.

Alex learnt the recipes for pancakes and loves adding different fruits to the mixture to see what works best. He has made peach, blueberry and apple ones.

He does seem to have a unique way to wash the dishes.

He still does his paintings, they brighten up our home and the dull wallpaper that we got cheap.

Alex is doing well at developing his painting skill and is already half way to mastering it.

Mateo loves the xylophone and I sometimes play with him singing rhymes which he attempts to copy.

Jammie had a new favourite toy, this rabbit and is always either cuddling it or banging it across the floor.

She loves this toy, it was what she was with when she arrived. It looks quite creepy to me but she adores it.

Alex was out working when the sink broke so I had to fix it so the kids wouldn’t have an accident or play in it.

Chapter 1.6- Adorable Toddlers

Jammie loves it when I play aeroplanes with her giggling and screeching and screaming for more.

She is also becoming quite musical and loves to bang on the xylophone, well mostly. Sometimes she attempts to chew the stick.

I have been watching the news quite a lot of late.

Alex enjoys going to the beach with his old-school mates and playing in the sea, what a kid, you wouldn’t think he was in his twenties

He does help with the cooking, I don’t do some much now as the kids pretty much exhaust me.

Jammie is such a little chatterbox now and is always talking about something

She is also quite creative and loves playing with the doll’s house making stories around the dolls

Soon Mateo too was a toddler and an adorable one at that.

He likes the doll’s house too but spends more time chewing the dolls then playing with them.

He took longer to toilet train then his sister and still sometimes has accidents.

With Funds running low and me not working, Alex spends a lot of time playing the guitar at parties and at the park.

I soon found out I was expecting again, oh dear, we can’t really afford it on just my modest maternity pay and Alex’s tips.

Chapter 1.5- Earning Money

Jammie didn’t really like wearing nappies and was constantly taking them off so I started potty training her, she caught on quickly and even wears knickers at night.

I still find time to Snuggle with Matteo. He is such an adorable little cutie.

Jammie loves the shape sorter and loves banging the shapes in. She soon taught herself where each shape goes.

I spied her pulling herself up on furniture and cruising along them so I started teaching her to walk, she learnt that quickly too and now there is no stopping her. We must lock the kitchen door or she’s in the cupboards.

Alex finally spent some time with his new son. He has been busy earning money for us as I am still on maternity leave.

He enjoys singing and playing the guitar to the kids and most of the time, it calms them down.

Jammie has been saying some words so I thought it was time, I helped her join them together to make sentences and help her with pronunciation so everyone can understand her not just me.

Alex has finally mastered the guitar skill now hopefully he will get more tips

9.1.jpg

He has started playing near resort desks as he gets money from new guests checking in.

The house has become quite filthy so once the kids were down for their naps, I went on a cleaning spree.

Jammie is growing so fast that she needed some new clothes, I also bought a bow for her hair as it is becoming quite long.

With the tips, Alex made, we bulldozed the old house and made this one in its place.

Chapter 1.4- A choice to make

With a baby on the way and me on maternity leave earning a mere pittance in pay, Alex must play a lot of guitar to earn money so we can buy the essentials.

I spend most of my days battling nausea and watching tv to hopefully help my unborn child learn culture, I also sometimes watch the cooking channel for inspiration.

Alex is bringing in some money but not a lot of he goes around looking for people before playing and that way gets more tips,

He is becoming quite a celeb though.

He also received a promotion.

With lots of time on my hands, I have developed my cooking skill even further and have been experimenting with new recipes.

Alex finally made enough in tips that we could afford to pay the bills that have been piling up, whew no repo man to take our belongings

Soon Nine Months had passed and I went into labour, I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy.

Alex is getting better at painting.

Mateo is quite a calm baby if his needs are cared for and he really loves his milk.

I thought I was going mad one morning, when Mateo was about Six months old, when I heard babbling and giggling on the porch, I walked out there and I saw a little girl of about one, next to her was a cuddly toy with a note attached. I started to read it. Hi, this is Jammie, I named her after my dead boyfriend, he was killed when I was pregnant in a fight. I was kicked out of my family home and have been living on the streets ever since. I managed to get into a hospital to have Jammie and then two days later grabbed her and ran but now I see I was being selfish. I saw you and your husband and your little boy two days ago, in the park and I want Jammie to have that. I have signed Jammie over to you and I am heading to my parents, give her the life she deserves please and don’t try to find me. After reading, I folded up the letter and took little Jammie inside, I then called the authorities who tried to find her mother but failed, they asked me if I would like to adopt her or for her to be put in care. I discussed it with Alex and we chose to adopt her. Two days later whilst watching the news, we found out that her mother had drowned.

Chapter 1.3- Moving On.

Alex wrote me a song and did a serenade for me, how romantic is he.

His guitar skill is well developed now

He is also becoming quite well known around here.

I am doing well at work and got another promotion. I am becoming bored with the job though and have been looking around for something else.

I found a job the total opposite to the one I am doing, I see if I find my new job more interesting.

We did use my bonuses from my old promotions and renovated the house making it larger because I have so news, can you guess.

Alex has some good and bad days with his tips and earns between 200 and 800 depending on the weather mostly.

I headed down the gym and did some working out. I also developed my athletic skills.

Well here’s why the house needed to be made bigger, Me and Alex are expecting our first child.

I have continued to improve my cooking, I want to be able for my child to have a variety of meals when she is older.

Alex enjoys painting and using his artwork to decorate our house, his skill is also developing nicely.

Chapter 1.2- Promotions and Tips

I worked hard and soon my hard work paid off. I got promoted, good thing too as our bills needed to be paid and we already had to sell the computer once to pay them.

Alex is doing well too and soon was earning quite good money from his tips, enough for groceries anyway.

We continued to develop our skills as the better the skills, the more money we could earn.

Alex soon celebrated his first promotion. All them hours of playing music even in the rain had paid off.

He had begun to get some fans too who would dance as they paid him for his music, maybe soon, we would be able to renovate the house some more.

My thinking skills were developing well and I was already halfway through the logic skill.

8.2.jpg

Alex being artistic loved to paint on our balcony and soon developed his skill.

I am doing well at work and soon got another promotion with a good bonus too.

10.1.jpg

Alex loves to talk about his music with other people.

He also has started learning to cook and cooks for us on the day, I get stuck at work.

We still find time to get some romantic time in

Chapter 1.1- Island Life

Hi, I decided to settle in Isla Paradiso after hearing from my hubby how fun and relaxing it was to grow up here. It is also a great place for kids and with many different careers to try. You see, I am ambitious but I don’t know what career, I want to do. I also want to start a legacy and bring a family up different to the way I was, you see, my mother died when I was two, then I spent four years in the care of nannies before being shipped off to military school when I was six years old. My dad just found it too hard to care for me and we can never bond now as he died when I was Sixteen. I am also neat that’s the only thing, I got from eleven years of boarding school routine. I also became quite a workaholic from that routine. I am nurturing, I loved looking after the younger children at the school and can sleep through anything.

This is my husband Alexander, he lived a great life with his grandparents here on Isla Paradiso and attended the local school. They are now on a cruise. He is very musical and loves to play the guitar, that’s how we met, I attended a school dance and he was part of the band when I was seventeen, I think I fell in love the moment, I saw him. Alex is also a natural born performer which is a good thing as he wants to play his own songs and make a career out of his guitar playing. He is Artistic and loves both the heat and the cold. Me and Alex started dating two weeks after the dance and were soon going steady. After we graduated from our school, we had a quick marriage on the beach with just his grandparents as witnesses and now just two months later are ready to start our adult lives together.

My father left me well provided for in his will and with that money, me and Alex were able to afford this lovely home and renovate it for our needs.

We would need jobs to bring in money so we could afford the bills and food of course so I searched the newspaper for a job. I got a job gathering intel for the local police department.

Me and Alex spend a lot of time at the library. I need skills to progress at work and earn more money and the library is free. Alex also loves to practice his guitar skill there.

I was soon becoming more logical and Alex was improving his guitar skill.

Me and Alex have also become minor celebrities around here just from learning and developing skills.

I have got tired of Mircowave meal, sandwiches and cereal so I started teaching myself to cook.

Alex headed down to city hall and registed as a busker, That way he can play for tips on the street and in venues and won’t get moved on.

10.2.jpg

I have found a new hobby chess and I am doing quite well at it, even if I do say myself.

Alex’s skill is finally high enough that he can actually make money from playing his instrument.

He headed down to the sidewalk outside city hall to try and earn some money, I wished him luck.
