Twins in the Royal Family
I have shown this photo of Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary in Roskilde before. I do it again to tell about their two babies – a boy and a girl – born today. It is the first time ever the royal twins are born in Denmark. Crown Prince Frederik was very happy and […]
Selling more playthings
Just a few more impressions from the childrens super selling experience in Roskilde. The children learn to let go some of the things they would like to play with at a little younger age, but it might be difficult to let go… The first post about this event was just before this one.
