Meyah and Liam had their birthdays a few days ago – Meyah on the 25th of December and Liam on the 29th.

Meyah is turning out to be just as friendly, energetic and curious as Liam. She’ll be walking soon. This is her second week in the creche, which will be good for her, but feels strange for us.

Liam wants to learn about everything and surprises me every few weeks with his sudden advances. Last week he learned how to play chess though a month before he would not have had the patience.

Raising two kids isn’t easy at times, but it’s the whole point of my life now and nothing has ever made me so happy.
