Every morning, at 7:30 a.m., Jeff gives the twins their shower. Antoinette gets dressed first, runs to the bedroom, and snuggle-cuddles with me for a minute or so. Nicholas follows with that classic “Mama, hi!” then joins Antoinette and I in bed for another five minutes or… until Jeff calls them for breakfast. Today, breakfast was started with yoghurt. The moment they heard their Dad’s voice, the twins jumped out of bed; Antoinette said: “Yoghurt, yoghurt, yey!” as Nicholas closed the door with a “Goodbye, Mama.” 09 July 2015
