The boys tend to be dressed and provided (once again, cannot take credit for the) and they are down throughout the day. The older any visits class and also the younger one frolics all night aided by the nanny at playgrounds. I kiss all of them good-bye and deliver all of them down with love. The nanny, bless the girl, will collect some goods later on.
