So with that goal in mind, I made sure that in addition to going to summer camp with her friends three days this past week, Caroline had lots of play time with Miss Claire and also had a few play dates with friends. I went along to all the play dates so Caroline could see that yes, there is life with Mommy after twins.
She enjoyed every moment she had with her friends throughout the week, but I didn't really see her let loose until last evening when we met our friends big Caroline and Miss Annie at Romp n' Roll for open gym.
As soon as her shoes were off, Caroline ran into the gym and wasted no time getting busy on all the different equipment. She had a smile on her face like I haven't seen in weeks. Miss Annie and her friend, Miss Julia were kind enough to hold the babies so I could spend some time playing with Caroline as she ran from station to station. In fact, she was moving so fast that although I got several pictures of her, they are all kind of blurry. I was so thrilled to see her having such a great time.
The good mood continued this morning when she woke up and happily played with her babies (not the real ones...we'll get there...someday) for almost an hour and then got to go grocery shopping with me while the "babies stay here, Momma."
Hopefully, Caroline is feeling better about having to make room in her family for Julia and Margaret. I have a feeling it's going to be a bit of a long process though :)
