Aemilius Tatius--poor little boy-- was climbing a tree. Reaching out his hand to grab a branch, he slipped. Aemilius landed in an awkward position and broke his arm. Luckily, it was his left, and not his right.

Aemilianus Tatianus has become a Mama's boy. He is far from being adventurous like his twin, especially after Aemilius broke his arm. Now Aemilianus is scared to roam too far away from his mother.

Decimus Livianus, who is now a romping two-year-old, has been lonely since his brothers bounced off to school. Caelia is always busy, and so is Sextilius, so Decimus can't ask them to play. He's taken to sitting outside on the front door step and watching the little shack belonging to the elderly man his father permitted to live on their land. Just a week or so ago, the elderly man--Vitus Seneca is his name--slipped on the door step. Decimus being the helpful little two-year-old that he is, he raced inside, yelling, "Mama! Mama! The nice old man in the shack fell down! Help him, Mama! He needs help!" Caelia stepped outside and helped Vitus Seneca to his feet, and told him that it was Decimus who had told her that Vitus fell. Vitus Seneca was very grateful, and Decimus has become his little helper and buddy.
