Pairs

My mother always told me to have my children in pairs. For safety reasons.

I think she meant sanity.

Haven't you noticed that two children together aren't exactly safe but they do keep each other busy which leads to a greater level of sanity on the part of the mother?

Jake and Jo have always been a pretty chummy pair.

Liyah is happy to team up with Jo on some occasions and with Sephi on others.

He in turn is equally content being silly with either Liyah or Rose.

Rose will entertain herself with anyone as long as she is in charge.

Emi is her usual victim.

And so our little Gid, who is not so little anymore, has found himself the odd man out.

We have decided to rectify the situation.....

Beginning February 17th, Gideon will have someone special to play with. His very own pair, partner, chum, slave, victim.
Baby #8!

P.S. It is unknown as to whether Gid's new playmate will be a girl or a boy. Gid is very determined to have a brother. Mom is not so sure. We'll keep you updated!
