About the children:
The youngest child is 20 months old and is bright, cheerful, and playful, reflecting the typical energy of toddlers. She will be in daycare for most of the day and enjoys activities such as art and gymnastics.
The middle child, who is 3 years old, tends to be calmer than the other two children. However, he is still energetic and occasionally displays some adventurousness. Initially, he may be shy when meeting new people, but overall, he is very sweet.
