Almost six years ago the GCN showed off the Myburgh triplets for the first time.<\/p>\n

They appeared in the GCN on September 10, 2010, when they were ready to leave the Life Roseacres Hospital.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

The girls, aged five, were born on August 16 and, at that time, were the first set of triplets to be born at the hospital in 13 years.<\/p>\n

Now, Simon\u00e9, Deidr\u00e9 and Amor\u00e9, have taken the first steps in their academic careers.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

They have been enrolled in the Grade R class at Dinky Dolly Nursery School, in Elsburg.<\/p>\n

The GCN caught up with them, their mother Alma and grandmother Alma Beukes, at the school, on Thursday.<\/p>\n

So far the girls are enjoying going to school, but it is taking them some time to adjust.<\/p>\n

Mom Alma told the GCN that they all have very different personalities and are strong-willed.<\/p>\n

The girls live with their parents, Alma and Morn\u00e9, and granny, in Parnell Road, Elsburg.<\/p>\n

Beukes told the GCN that the girls are very attached to her, especially Amor\u00e9.<\/p>\n

Amor\u00e9 was the last born of the three and the smallest at birth.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe loves to do everything with me and still sleeps in my room,\u201d said Beukes.<\/p>\n

Alma said that the young ladies are quite independent, but they seem to rely on Deidr\u00e9 (the second born) to take the lead.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey seem to all have different roles \u2013 Simon\u00e9 is the protector, Deidr\u00e9 is the boss and Amor\u00e9 is the follower,\u201d said Alma.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey don\u2019t fight often and, if other children fight with or pick on one of them, the other two will protect their sibling.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alma also said the youngsters are very clever and enjoy playing games on the tablet.<\/p>\n

They also know how to get themselves something to eat from the fridge and are very helpful with the housework.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe three of them make a great team and you should see how well they clean the house together,\u201d Beukes said.<\/p>\n

The triplets\u2019 older sisters, Monique (16) and Jessica (12), are protective of their young sisters and adore them.<\/p>\n

Next year, Alma said, they will be enrolling the triplets at Laerskool Delville for Grade One.<\/p>\n

Deidr\u00e9 told the GCN that they like school a lot and Simon\u00e9 added that they like to play on their jungle gym, write and play on their tablet at home.<\/p>\n

Amor\u00e9 added that they also like animals and love playing with their dogs and their hamster, \u201cHammy\u201d.<\/p>\n
