Today
I smiled to Gabriel and he smiled back and then Ella smiled
at Gabriel, in answer to his smile to me! Later they both
smiled at each other and Gabriel spoke to Ella, Ella did not
bother answering though. Seams as they are finally starting
to notice each other! Today

End
of last week we had a visit by Mikael Toss. We went to the
old city of Shanghai, which was crowded with people. It was
just incredible. When we got out of the car approximately
20 persons sourrounded us looking at the babies. Chinese people
are very interested in babies and especially twins. I guess
it has to do with the fact that they only have one child themselves.
The same goes for children, they are also very interested
in babies and that is probably because they don't have any
siblings. Anyhow, it can become rather frustrating when they
have a totally different view on what is okay to do. At IKEA
the other day total strangers reached out to touch Ella's
hand and foot. A bit different than how we would do at home.
We
have gotten a new ayi, she is Philippino and called Nilda.
I am very happy with her. I had to fire the other one we had
though, but she was only working two days a week, so she did
not seam very upset about it. Nilda works Monday to Friday
and she helps me with the children, plus does cooking and
cleaning. I am getting sooo spoiled!! It is actually great
to have her since it really helps me with the things I need
to do, which are difficult to do on my own. I bring her along
and we can take one baby each. Very practical.
Apart
from that we have also gotten a car with a driver and he is
also nice. We are getting another car though, because with
the one we have now we can fit the twins, the twin stroller
and me, but Anders will have to take a taxi.
