Eddy and I have managed, in the two children we have produced so far, to achieve absolutely no blending or mixing of culture, looks, personality whatsoever. Jonah is very much me: looks like me, likes to play on his own, stands back until he is really sure of a situation, huge fan of peanut butter and cornflakes. Owen, on the other hand, is a blue-eyed, pint-sized Eddy: outgoing, skateboarding, ready for anything at anytime. He also loves cheese, all kinds of cheese but really, the stinkier the better. His favorite? ‘Fockfort’. (He has a hard time saying ‘r’s… say it a few times and you’ll figure it out!).

The boys have this (sometimes annoying) habit of interupting us with ‘Mama (Papa) I love you.’ Most of the time this is sweet and wonderful, but they also do it when we’re yelling at the other one, or at each other, or in the middle of some very important task, like reading People online.

Jonah has found a solution to this problem though- he’s started blowing kisses. I love four year olds- they’re so sweet and romantic!
