After the snowstorm, they all dressed for the weather and went out to explore. They bought triplets new clothes to keep them warm and Jaden decided to match with Ivy. Though Ivy wanted Emerald to chime in as well she just picked the one she deemed most comfortable.

Momo and Barbara decided to go and take the kids to try out some sports so they walked to the famous lifts that took you on top. They stopped when they saw the Yamachan sculpture and told the kids about the maskot and how much they loved him when they were little.

The kids wanted to make some snowman so everyone got to work. They started in three groups but then came together to finish one snowman. Ivy took some selfies for the road while Jaden and Emerald ran around the snow and played snowball. The family took a picture together to remember this day and Herman suggested they got the kids to try sleeding, which he loved to do as a kid.

Emerald likes to come to Erik's little computer room and watch him do his job while she sometimes plays with his game set in the background. So she got quite curious about computers lately and what is her father doing for work.

Erik always answers her questions about programming and raises her interest even more. Today he decided to let Emerald have a go at his computer, which is off limits for the kids since he uses it for work as well and has important files in it.

Emerald was so excited to sit in her father's chair and experience that overclocked PC. Erik coached her on some basic programming so she could say she has at least started. Erik told her that she had a natural talent for it and was a good student. They decided to practice from time to time and if Emerald actually made good progress Erik promised to get her a good computer set in the future.

The kids went downstairs together to dispatch someone to get rid of their monster. Momo was back home from work and eating something, they've been working overtime lately and it's been hell. Instead of asking them the kids went to the bedroom and woke Erik up.

He wasn't only the strict parent but also the one they went to for protection. Momo would've probably been scared with them and felt weird about spraying some bugs. Erik sprayed away their 'monsters' and tucked the kids to bed again.

last moments as toddlers

Erik had lunch with the kids after school and talked to them about their day. It was their routine by now. He'd tell them to do their homework for the day and be done with it so they wouldn't cram last minute. Jaden protested the most about that. He wanted to play outside while it was still early.

Momo joined them, coming home from work, working overtime again. They didn't really have the strength to speak up. After Ivy volunteered to do the dishes and the kids finished up their homework, Erik and Momo were alone. Erik asked Momo if they were fine.

Momo was trying to get to the top of their career so they can finally be done with it. It was hectic but they were almost there. They felt bad about not being able to help so much with the kids but Erik reassured them he was doing enough. Erik only wanted them to take care of himself.

Erik and Momo helped the girls get inside their tiny pool while Jaden ran around with Champ. He didn't want to get inside and sit around, he found the dog who was jumping around the sprinkler with him much more entertaining.

Erik got sad from time to time for not being able to match Champ's energy anymore. They used to go for so many runs that Erik just wasn't able to any longer. Now with Jaden, who had endless energy to share with the world, Erik was amused to see Champ getting tired and taking a nap away from Jaden.

The day was perfect. After the girls got tired of their pool Momo got up to play with them again. Erik's legs were a bit tired so he just lounged in the pool and relaxed. The sounds of his kids and partner filled his ear. Bubbles who was taking a nap in the shade also joined in with her snoring.

Potty training three toddlers at the same time was a nightmare but they're almost there! Jaden and Ivy now can go potty on their own, which is a great victory for Erik.

Emerald is also getting there but she gets upset quite easily. She had a little potty accident and Erik had to comfort her while Jaden and Ivy celebrated their succes.

Emerald likes to be praised for her work, especially when it comes from Erik. So when she fails at something that her siblings can clearly achieve she gets sad. However, Erik always knows how to cheer up.
