I actually felt a twinge of summertime in the air today. The sky was blue and I opened up the windows in the house. I know it will not last, so I had to enjoy the moment! Therefore, I thought it would be the perfect day to give the kids their first "feel" of grass! They were too little last summer to put them in the grass, so now that they can sit up...out we went! Now, that is easier said than done alone with two babies!!! You cannot just say "Hey, let's go outside!" Ha! You cannot bring one, leave them out there and then go get the other one. They do not understand "don't move!" yet! So, I put a couple of toys in my pockets, grabbed Madison, put her on my hip then did a squat, grabbed Riley on the other hip and off the three of us went! Somehow I managed to open the door and get them to the front yard.
It was so much fun to watch their faces as they felt the grass. They were a bit leery and I do not think they liked the smell much! They stuck really close together, like it was a feeling of security in a new place or something!
Speaking of Riley and Madison noticing each other, they seem to be connecting more and more as they days go by. They now look for each other when playing. When they get up from a nap, they smile, shout and reach out for each other when I bring them back into the same room. They were even babbling back and froth to each other in the car today. Probably saying, geeeeez, mommy is dork! HA! I hope this amazing bond continues, it is something really special.
