Introductions

There's me, S, the dad
There's T, the mum

and now the main cast

C, 10 years old, boy - has all the best attributes of his mum and none of the worst of his dad.  Well -rounded, does well at school, loves sports, and more importantly still loves mum and dad, which is awesome.  He's going to be an awesome human being.  I feel like I'm gypping him somewhat by starting this so late for him, but feel there will be plenty of material going forward and hopefully I remember some crackers from the past.

R, 7 years old, girl - highly independent and stubborn like a mule (just like her dad), but she's daddy's little girl (for now).  Totally a girlie-girl, which surprises both S & T, but she also likes sports and isn't afraid to get stuck in.  T is not a girlie-girl, hates shopping etc. but R loves it and is going to be a handful.  Is there such a thing as a Tom-boy, girlie-girl?  There is now.  R gets on well with her brothers, although, shockingly, they do gang up on her every now and then.  What does she want to be when she grows up?  Right now a teacher but I can also see Third World Dictator as a distinct possibility.

L, 4 years old, boy - What can I say about L?  Makes me laugh every time I look at him.  He is my bruiser, always wants to play-fight.  Sorry correct that "play-(s)ight" - still has a problem saying f's, which we'll see later on.  He is Mr. Outgoing - will not think twice about going up to a stranger and saying hi, yes S & T have had the talking to strangers-talk with him.  Basically he is not shy.  He is the joker of the group, but will also be a well-rounded individual.

That's the intro's done, lets get started....
