What Mum and Dad won't tell you...

Mum and Dad have been a bit slow in the blog department so we are going to write this one, please excuse our mistakes as Naomi can hardly talk so writing a blog entry is particularly difficult for us. After our party, life has continued as normal so we thought we might tell you how our days are.

Every morning we wake up nice and early and act as the most effective alarm clock Mum and Dad have ever had.  Just in case the noise we make isn’t enough, Isaac likes to jump on the bed and generally climb all over them until they get up and get our breakfast.  Breakfast is a great time for making sure that the bath we take each night looks like it never happened.  Naomi feeds herself (and her hair) Weetabix and sometimes Isaac helps her by giving her some of his soggy cereal.  Then it’s play time, we run around laughing and avoiding Mum and Dad so that we can stay in our pyjamas.

Once they manage to dress us we head off to our nursery in our blue uniform tabards.  We both love school as we get to speak and listen to both English and Portuguese.  We play with other children and get to do drawing, singing and a little bit of learning numbers.  There is a big red slide outside and our favourite thing to do is climb up the steps, crawl through the tunnel and go down the slide again and again.

After nursery we get collected and go home for lunch. Then it’s nap time (although sometimes Naomi has a late lunch as she often falls asleep in the car).  If we’re nice to them, Mum and Dad get some free time to do homework and other boring things.  After our nap, we like to play ‘towers’ or go down stairs into the yard outside.  If Naomi wakes up early, she likes to go for a walk in a caplana (Mozambican sling) to buy fruit and vegetables from the market. After all our playing, we are hungry and generally want dinner at 5 o’clock (it normally arrives at 5.30 which is really very late). Both of us love to eat spicy food; if the food isn’t spicy enough we add spicy peri-peri sauce to it.  After a bath together with lots of splashing and a little bit of a DVD, it’s time for bed so that we can get lots of energy to wake up Mum and Dad bright and early the next day...
