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 1.7- 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 1.4- 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.
