***User: VanesmeDH: Oscar Ragnar Danielsen (31, neurologist)
DW: Nora Maialene Alagona (29, industrial-organizational psychologist)AD: Mathilde Verona Alagona (5)
DS: Zephyr Oscar Danielsen (3)
DS: Jason Aloysius Danielsen (2)
DD: Selena Yvonne Danielsen (nb)Writing: (Well, eventually Nora's extended leave turned into permanent leave. She was fired from her job in the firm, but truth be told she wasn't too upset about it. She knew she couldn't keep the job, it would be too tiresome, and it would add to her stress. So now that it was official that she had left that job, she decided to do something a little less demanding and pressuring. A good option, she thought, would be to become a kindergarten teacher. She had the psychology training, and she was very good with children, so she took up the position of kindergarten teacher's assistant at Mathilde's (and her children’s' future) kindergarten. She likes this job, however she feels it is a long-term temporary position. She'll keep it up until her children grow up a little and become less care-needy. Nevertheless, so far so good. (Plus, she also gets a discount for her children!)
The new arrival of a little baby girl in the family got everyone excited more or less. Zephyr and Jason, who weren't yet of an age of reason, were excited (because their parents encouraged them to be so - and plus, excitement is contagious just like misery is) curious (because they couldn't really comprehend and relate Nora's large belly and the baby fitting inside - and then even more perplexing, coming out. It was just too complicated) and a tinge jealous which was quickly overpowered by all the other emotions. Zephyr was also quite protective of his little sis. But the true minder, and person who took little Selena under her wing was Mathilde. Mathilde had been with the family for two years already, but still she was a little reserved and not very interactive. She wouldn't throw tantrums like Zephyr often would, but she didn't bring a smile to her caregivers' faces either, like her step-brothers would. It was partly her demure personality, and partly the trauma of loosing her mother and the memory of all the chaos, that became a brick in the structure of her character. Now with Selena, she finally had a girl in the house. Someone she could relate to, guide, play with, and take care of.
Nora and Oscar were very happy to see Mathilde come out of her impervious shell and interact with someone. They encouraged it, and even put Selena in the same room with Mathilde. Boys in one room, girls in another.
So the family is doing well. They are even thinking of getting a pet!)
Random event number for next time: 7
PS: The moon-meaning is passable as nature-themed right? I mean, would you rather I change it to smthg "flowery" or "oceany"?
Oh, and also about "Yvonne". The "Y" is considered a vowel here right?
