I know it seems weird that play dates are such a big thing but they really are for me. Susan and her trio came over this past Wednesday. This time I was on my own territory so I wasn’t quite as nervous. All I had to do was make sure the gate was up in the living room & that there were plenty of toys (eh hem…got that covered) and we were set. Ok, I even put shorts on the girls. I didn’t want them thinking I was an unfit momma (kidding). I mean, I do have some kind of reputation to uphold.
Susan’s (I’m really a bad person because I can’t remember her name to save my life) mom also came along with her and the kids. She is the sweetest lady. Gabi took to her and insisted on sitting in her lap a good portion of the visit. Sofi had a favorite too. Susan. She wouldn’t leave her alone or get out of her lap. When it was time for them to leave, Sofi cried. I’m not talking a little cry. She was super sad to see her go. She stood at teh gate for a good 5 minutes after they walked out the door and cried. I haven’t seen her act that way towards anyone!
I had a little follower too. Ava crawled everywhere I went. She wanted tohang out with me. It was cute. We even talked about leaving Ava with me and sending Sofi home with them. I think the kids got along beautifully. In 2 wks, it will be our turn to go back over there. I *think* Susan’s place is a bit more toddler proofed (wink, wink).
The boys were typical. Very content doing what they were doing. Andrew was fascinated with this Winnie the Pooh toy we have. Susan couldn’t believe how long he sat up.
I have to say, the stimulation for all the babies was good. I’m glad to give them the opportunity to play with others. They tend to be rougher with one another and I’m always concerned that they will be rough with others but they do pretty well.
Here is a picture of sweet Ava chasing me <3!

My feeble attempt at getting the 6 kids in 1 picture.
