When she was finished with packing and time permitted, she moved her belongings into her room and into the apartment. Bette had her new family surrounding her in her new home on Central Park West. After looking around and searching through all of her contacts, she finally found a tutor and nanny for the boys so that Max could catch up with his schooling and both boys could settle into their new life with the women.

The nanny was a retired schoolteacher that Bette had known for a few years. When Tina met the woman, she was thrilled and loved her energies immediately, knowing that she’d be a good match for the boys. It was arranged so that Yoland would arrive at the apartment just before Bette and Tina took off for work and then would spend the day with Ozzie and Max, helping him with his schoolwork and taking care of Ozzie. She then would then leave just after Bette arrived home each day after work. It worked out well for the five of them as Max and Ozzie soon loved their nanny and all that she did for them.

Shane loved the new additions to the apartment. She could see and feel the immediate chemistry between Tina and Bette and she liked this new woman in Tina’s life tremendously as she saw the goodness that she brought back into Tina’s heart. Her good friend was so happy again and that thrilled Shane after the devastation of what had happened in LA.

After being around Ozzie and Max, she discovered that the boys were simply sweet, quite smart and so well mannered. Shane loved to converse with them at dinner when they ate as a family all together and would take them over to the various playgrounds to play when she had the time to spend with them. She loved the role of being ‘auntie’ and they soon loved her back just as well.

Ozzie’s personality was different from his brother’s. Whereas Max loved to investigate his environment and ask questions about things he wanted to know about, Ozzie usually held back and just listened and took in what was happening around him. He was more of an introvert whereas Max was an extrovert. Ozzie was quietly creative with his drawing tablet and crayons while Max loved to sing and dance.
