[Games] Rachel Shay's Congrats Round 3
You held off an extra year before having another child (or two… or three…), so you could take care of your current kids (this is especially helpful for those who had twins, and the one who had triplets, I’m sure. What a handful). Anyway, now that your eldest is starting school, you had a bit of extra time, and yup, along came another baby (or two, or three…) This round, you pick your child(ren)’s name from any of these links:

http://www.namenerds.com/uucn/listofweek/peopletowns.html
http://www.namenerds.com/uucn/celebname/2006name.html
*Note: If any of the names appear in a combo, you do not have to use the combo; you can just use one of the names. For next round I need quite a few things from you. Be careful and make sure you get them all. You must choose a color, either orange or green.
You must answer these two questions:
--How many children (approximately, no promises you’ll get exactly what you want) would your family like to have?
--Would you like to adopt?
----If yes, what countries would you like to adopt from?
----Also, do you have any age or gender preferences?And your writing prompt for this round is: Your eldest has started school. How was his/her first day? Were they excited or hesitant; did they come home happy or in tears? Also, feel free to tell me about your other children (are they getting along with their sibling(s), how’d they take the idea of a new baby? Etc)

--If Cuban, prefer female. If Irish, prefer male. If American or other, either way.Daniel seemed reluctant to go to school at the onset, but we managed to get him onto the bus. He has already made a few friends, but somehow managed to PO his teacher on the first day. Sebs was not happy to be called into the school so soon after shoving the Daniel onto the bus, to say the least.
Eoin had more trouble adjusting than Daniel did. He followed Sebs around all morning, until Sebs finally just locked the door to his office (he's an architect working from home) and sent Eoin to his Grandma's.
For once, Winter discovered the pregnancy before Sebs, so she finally got to surprise him with it. He was even more surprised to hear it was twins. Daniel now realizes the baby didn't come out of a special egg his mommy ate (it came from that big bird on the pickle jar), but he revelled in telling Eoin all about it and warning him to be careful while eating eggs. Eoin has stubbornly refused to eat anything with eggs in it since that day, to Daniel's joy.

DD: Ave (AH-vay) Summer (0)Misty was excited to be going to school, in her own, quiet way. She'd always been a bright girl, and she was looking forward to going somewhere where she could learn more. Despite her shyness, she made a friend - a little girl named Ruby.The twins were absolutely delighted when they discovered that they were going to have a little sister and wouldn't be the babies anymore. However, they turned out to be a bit jealous when Ave came and most of Maya's attention was focused on the baby. Zoe was especially annoyed, being a bit of a drama queen even at her young age. Phoenix eventually brought the girls around by spending time with them (taking them out for ice cream, playing games, etc) whenever Maya was busy with the baby. Feeling a little more noticed, the twins stopped resenting their new sister so much and fell in love with her.Green

Rachel and Kyle would love to have a big family. With four children they are very content but dont believe on stopping. Kyle came from a big family of 8 and Rachel of 5 so they agreed on the inbetween of 7.
Rachel and Kyle would be honored to adopt but dont feel its for themShawn started her first day of school at Ellwood Elementary. She was so excited to go. She backed up her back pack and scrambled in the room with now mention to Rachel. She loved school and came home talking about all her new friends. This made the twins Skye and Thalia a tad bit jealous and cant wait to go to kindergarten their selves. Shawn was very excited with school that she really doesnt mind baby Talen, but the twins are a bit jealous between all the changes.

8 or more, we would love to adopt one or two from France, England, USA or Italy. We have no age or gender preferences. Eliza had a great first day at school! She was very excited and had been telling Madeleine and Felix all about how she was going to be a big girl. As we left she started to get a little worried but as soon as she met her teacher she was fine again! As for the twins, they are little bundles of energy. The three of them generally get on fine, except when Eliza and Madeleine decide that they want to play something different from what the other wants to; they're both extremely stubborn! Poor Felix is just getting to the age where he is realising that he is surrounded by girls, and his first question when we told him we were expecting again was "Can I have a boy?" Needless to say, he was a little disappointed when Charlotte and Amelia arrived.

DD/DS: Olivia Jasmine "Livvy" / Jacob AustinJohn and I were thrilled to welcome to the world our beautiful twins, Olivia Jasmine and Jacob Austin. Livvy and Jacob are calm babies with such sweet dispositions, though of the two, Jacob is far more outgoing. Livvy is content to be held by those she is familiar with, while Jacob is happy with absolutely anyone.And time certainly has flown by, with Elisabeth now five years old, and John now three. They both adore their baby brother and sister, though Ellie can more often than not be found with Livvy, while John can't wait for Jake to be old enough to play with.Ellie is now officially a kindergartner, and I think Mommy had a harder time with her first day of school, than did Ellie. She was so excited to begin kindergarten and loved shopping for school supplies, particularly picking out her very own backpack, a Care Bear theme. On the first day, I could tell she was a little nervous and stood kind of close, not exactly wanting John and me to leave right away. After awhile, she adjusted to te new environment, found quite a few other little girls to play with, and was content to finish out the rest of the day on her own. Though, Mommy wasn't quite ready to let go, wondering how her baby girl was already off to kindergarten...it seems only yesterday she was Livvy's age. :-)Nevertheless, we both got through the first day, and it was wonderful to see her come home from school with a huge smile on her face, and talking on and on about everything that had happened. She's learning so much, and loves to practice all the skills she's being taught; her favorites are definitely reading and writing.John is content to be at home for the moment, but there are times that it seems he can't wait to join his big sister at school. They enjoy playing together and get along wonderfully, and she, in particular, loves to "teach" him whatever it is that she's learning, including how to write his name. John's a bright little boy with a sunny disposition, who loves to be outdoors with his Daddy. His favorite toys are his Hot Wheels car collection and race track.

DD/DS: Brandon Casey/Ava ScarlettGabriel loves school. At first, he was slightly nervous. He only got to spend 3 months with the new babies and felt he needed some more time with his baby brother. After he met his teacher, however, he felt different and has since been thrilled. He still gets to spend plenty of time with Brandon though, so he's happy again.
Meanwhile, the twins (all of them!) are great. Ava, who was almost named Marie (we changed our minds because we had Madeleine and Megan) is a smiley and fun little baby, while Brandon is an adorable but shy baby boy. Megan is definitely the outgoing one in her set (she loves spending time with her outgoing actress grandmother) and Madeleine is more into manners-her grandmother who organizes cotillions has already begun to teach both girls, though it's Maddie's interest.
Overall, we're having a great time. 5 are a handful, but we love 'em all!

Adele and Beatie are now 3, both are exact replica's of Evie with their blonde curly hair and green eyes, neither ever has tantrums or without a smile on their faces.Curiously Evie actually had guessed that we were expecting twin girls and she wanted a little sister named Lucy so we took her advice! The twins are a bit confused to see another set of girl twins! Now we have two sets of identical girl twins, I thought Cass would want a little boy but he's so happy to have 5 princesses!We would possibly like up to 8 or so kids (not fussed). We would be happy to adopt from either Australia or England either gender is fine but possibly another blonde child under 10.

Rosalie started her first day of school last week, she's only going in the mornings though, so she's was definetly excited about that (at first), but after her first day she found out that most of the kids from her preschool were going there too and that it was "SOOO much fun" and wished she could be there all day!This time Rosalie wasn't as excited about the arrival of new babies, she seemed kind of neutral to the idea. Isabella and Paul, on the other hand, were devastated after the arrival of James and Thomas, they were throwing tantrums and all kinds of fits just so they could have the attention back. Eventually they got used to it, and Henry and I, try as hard as we can to give them some one on one time with us too.

Would you like to adopt? Yes, Children from anywhere is fine and any age is fine.Michelle started school today. She was so excited but the moment we got there she started crying. She kept telling us she wanted to stay home with her new brother Christopher. We told her she would be fine and make lots of friends. Thankfully our next door neighbours little girl, who is Michelle's best friend, was also starting and in Michelle class. I was a complete mess. I hated letting my little girl go, I can't believe she is starting school. It seems like only yesterday I gave birth to her. She came home happy but told us she doesn't want to go back because she missed her siblings too much. Tomoorow might be hard to get her back. We will just have to wait and see how things go tomorrow. The twins also missed having her around all day, they hate that Christopher is too young to play. They want him to grow up quickly so they can all play together.

Adoption: No, thank you
Patrick started kindergarten this year, and boy, he couldn't have been more excited. Every day from the beginning of June till the first day he walked in the door I heard "When am I starting school?" at least once. Patrick thought school supply shopping was the most fun a kid could ever have, and when he walked into his teacher's classroom for the first time he was on Cloud 9. When he came home that same day, he was so excited to tell me about his first day- how he learned how to write his name and say the alphabet and everything. He couldn't wait for the rest of the school year. Mike and I were both extremely happy that Patrick loved school so much.Evan is 3 now and has started preschool. He's quieter than Patrick, but all the same he's a handful. He also really likes school and, from what I know, he's had no trouble making friends.When Mike and I found out we were expecting triplets, we didn't know what to think. In a matter of minutes we would soon go from being the parents of two rambunctious boys, to three rambunctious boys and two little girls. However, we were overwhelmed with excitement. When we told Patrick that he would be getting three new brothers or sisters, he, again, couldn't wait. He was a huge help when Evan was born and he's been a huge help with Annie, Lily, and Sander. Evan didn't completely understand the concept of being a big brother at first, but once we explained it, he couldn't have been happier. When Anna Madison, Lily Cassandra, and Jeffrey Alexander finally came into the world, our lives were immediately turned upside down. None of the babies sleep through the night- Sander especially. Sander keeps the entire family up all night and sleeps through the day. Annie and Lily have adapted his sleeping pattern from him waking them up every night as well. But we couldn't love the triplets more. Patrick and Evan are huge helps. They both help feed the babies, play with them, and love holding them with our help. But both Patrick and Evan refuse to change diapers.

As many as possible!
--Would you like to adopt?
Sure!
----If yes, what countries would you like to adopt from?
Hm.... well, not a country but a state. Alaska. (if you have read the Twilight series you'll understnad why)
----Also, do you have any age or gender preferences?
A teenage or preteen full vampire, either gender.Simon started school yesterday! Being only a half vampire (Edward still hasn't turned me yet. Alice said that he's gonna talk to me about it tomorrow, but she refused to tell me what he's gonna say). But as I was saying, Simon is only a half vampire. That means that he only ages at half the rate as normal humans, physically. So he still has the body of a 2.5 year old. Luckily he's big for his "age" so he could pass as a kid who just turned 4. When we were giving him lnch he asked if he was getting any "meat" in in (as in uncooked, fresh from the animal meat. We are "vegitarian" vampires after all [meaning Edward and the kids don't drink from humans, only from animals]). I told him that he was getting pb&j, just like all the other kids. He was excited about school before that though. When I picked him up that afternoon he was crying. Apparently the school playground is around a mile away, and since Simon can run really quickly-- not as fast as Edward or anything, but waaaaay faster than me-- he told his new little friends he was going to go get some of his meat. They didn't care until he got back a couple minutes later with a dead rabbit in his mouth. The teacher tried to call me but stupid me left my cell phone off. I'm going to have to explain to Simon the matters of life and undeath... *sigh*...

Since they'd been friends for over a year now, he felt much more at ease.Avril and Amelie were both thrilled by the idea of a new sibling when we told them. However, once the babies arrived, they were a bit disappointed-- I guess they thought they'd be more fun. Now that Ashton's in school, he loves coming home and trying to teach Avril and Amelie the things he learned that day. :DOrange
