#Alternanthera Parviflorum

[froynlaventje]

The second try at playing the Parviflorum family starts with chimes. Ardisia is pregnant again.

Tema Cooke (Strongarm) walks by and Helictotrichor greets her. She ends up talking with Ardisia until late at night, the two pregnant women really seem to like eachother.

Disporum grows up to childhood and his biggest want is to become friends with big sister Bumelia.

The next day Conopholis spots Sanjay Ramaswami walking by and runs out to greet him.

Helicto has been enjoying himself by catching bugs but it seems the bugs have decided they don't want to be caught anymore.

Apparantly Abhishek came along with his father Sanjay and he and Disporum seem to like eachother.

Helicto remembers he can make some food for himself on the hot rocks outside (toy oven). And after that all the kids will use it a lot for the rest of the round.

Silphinum and Tiarella grow up to toddlers. Silphinum is the first of the children to inherit Ardisia's blonde hair! The rest are all redheads so far.

Linum and Disporum have dinner together just after midnight on Thursday.

And in the morning Ardisia gives birth to triplets again! The boy is called Poncirus and the two girls are called Alternanthera and Dandranthema.

The next few days are spent taking care of kids and gardening, and Saturday is here. Ardisia and Conopholis now have nine children so having lunch together seems like a luxury, even if they are standing up while eating.

Sunday night Dandranthema and Alternanthera become toddlers and Poncirus turns out to be our second blonde haired toddler boy.

On Monday morning Ardisia and Conopholis try for another baby without success. Ardisia wants to have ten children so they are only one child away from reaching this goal.

The round ends in complete chaos, with six unhappy toddlers and lots of crying.

Before I start round 5 in my Test of Time challenge neighbourhood I took some family pictures!

The new Ramaswami - Cooke family. Sanjay and Sala Ramaswami and their combined sets of kids. Kherv and Torv Cooke, Abhishek Ramaswami, Nundat Cooke, toddlers Latta Cooke and Deep Ramaswami. Deep is the first child of this new couple together.

Taba and Crall Maina and their gang of kids. Abimbola, Bonolo, Farai, Bontu, Fadzai, Ime and toddler Ayodele.

The biggest family in the neighbourhood at this point: The Parviflorums. Mom Ardisia is holding Alternanthera and dad Conopholis has Silphinum in his arms. Bumelia is standing on the rock and Helictotrichor is holding his little sister Dandranthema. On the ground are toddlers Poncirus and Tiarella and child Linum. And Disporum is on the right looking up at the sky thinking is this photoshoot done yet?

The Picaso family consists of Matthew and Jessica Picaso, newborn Mondi, children Gaba and Bran and toddler Dob.

The other newly combined family! Julien Cooke married widow Tema Strongarm (now Cooke). Kids Vac and Vatzoc were born before their dad Cled Strongarm died and their little sister Egla was born to Tema and Julien.

Dog Chebnar has run away and is not in this picture but his siblings and parents are: Snobek, Mazzi, Koh, Rascal and Uuzo.

And last but not least are the Travellers who moved in for Round 4. Since Priya Ramaswami and Cled Strongarm died and their households combined with the former Cooke household a lot became empty and I thought Trisha and Trent Traveller and their child aged daughter Tina would fit in well. In round 4 baby boy Tarek was born, but they are still the smallest family in this neighbourhood.

(I retook their picture because Tarek is clipping into his mom's arm but Trisha would not make that happy face at him again so I still preferred this version despite the clipping.)
