we like to play ...

Rosie and Yasmina love to play together!

Because of Rosie's background she doesn't react like other children and we have to spend a lot of time with her helping her with seemingly simple tasks. School was a bit of a nightmare because poor Rosie didn't even know how to hold a pencil or do other basic acts necessary for primary school like drawing or cutting out, no one had ever taught her. Since those early days she has come a long way and apart from a couple of continuing issues is doing well at school. 

 Watching Yasmina, young as she is, already play make believe games is very entertaining, she has a great imagination and other children enjoy playing with her.

new boss in the house!

Yasmina's a very strong willed baby and determined to get her own way which can be very trying at times ... but she's so cute that it's hard to get angry with her and we usually end up laughing at her funny expressions as she tries to get round us! We went out to Johanna and Philip's house (they bought a wee house with a huge piece of land which they intend to modernise before they get married) and at one point when Yasmina thought no-one was looking she headed out of the gate and down the road on her own!
