Introducing Jamie

Part two of my posts introducing my kids. Today I'm talking about our second born twin, Jamie. The youngest, but always just a smidge bigger and usually the first to do things.



Here's Jamie!

Jamie's favourite colour is blue.

Jamie loves bats and has a collection if cuddly bats on his bed.

Jamie is a mini mathematician and an avid reader. His favourite books are the Rangers Apprentice series, the Beast Quest series, Zac Power books, Deltora Quest and other books by Emily Rodda, and "Father Christmas- the naked truth". He also enjoys reading Dmag magazine and instruction manuals for Wii games!

Even as tiny tackers Jamie (and Lachie) loved to read.  That's Jamie on the right.

Jamie loves building Hero Factory and often plays 'Hero Factory pretend' with his brother. In fact, he loves lots if 'pretend games' using his favourite characters. And he is a bit of a fanatic about games on the wii and DS.

Jamie tells me he used to like wheat bix and corn flakes for breakfast, but now that we have rubbish free breakfasts, he enjoys toast with butter or plum jam. And when asked what I should cook for snacks, Jamie's favourite request is ANZAC slice.

Jamie is quite competitive and enjoys beating us all at games like chess, monopoly, cluedo and cards.

When he grows up, Jamie wants to own a shop in a 3-4 storey building with lots of shops in it selling all sorts if stuff. He plans to live fairly close to home, and says he'll always have somewhere for his brother to stay when he comes home from his travels.

About our green and self sufficient journey, Jamie says "I think that being green has totally improved my life - I love how we live and I love what I get as homemade gifts (especially the bookmark Lachie gave me).".

"I love all our animals. I think my mum is the greatest and my dad is even with her. I don't know how much I love my brother because I think my family is the best." {his words - I promise!}
