As my grandma would have said, our dance card was very full this week. We had four (yes, four!) play dates. On Monday we DROVE to a new park and attempted to play nicely in the grass (without eating leaves) with a twin mom and singleton mom. Wednesday we walked to the nearby park for a weekly play date organized by a group affiliated with Brant's employer. Thursday we met up with my neighbor and played in her house consuming all of her son's toys. Friday we DROVE to another park and went for a walk with a twin mom. It was a crazy week. Yes, that's right - we drove to two separate play dates and ended up going to three different parks. The girls are still pretty young for play dates, they just kind of sit there and crawl around trying to escape from the confines of the blanket. I figure right now, the play dates are more for me, to get out of the house and attempt to talk to other adults. Usually the talking is limited to ten words and then interrupted by chasing after a baby (repeat several times). They usually only last about an hour before the girls get fussy, but an hour is an hour. I am getting a bit quicker at getting places in the car by myself but am still pretty exhausted by the end of the day. I imagine I will always be exhausted after taking care of triplets all day.
The girls have also started eating melts, puffs, yummies or whatever you call them. I am trying to get the girls to feed themselves these cheerio-like objects. I know they can put leaves in their mouths, so I figure perhaps they would be willing to put actual food in their mouths. We are getting close. I put a puff in front of them after having lunch. Stella and Daphne both tried to get in into their mouths right away. Daphne was pretty successful getting it onto her tongue - of course her tongue is always sticking out so she had a bigger target. Stella was struggling to figure out how to get the puff from her closed fist in her mouth as her entire fist didn't fit in her mouth - but she gets the idea. Fiona had to study the puff for a bit and then got it stuck to her chin. The below picture was my attempt to capture everyone grabbing their own puff, oyyy.

notice that daphne already has a puff in her hand, but is still trying to steal fiona's.
try wheels, they're big enough to be held and licked at the same time. good job everyone! missing you :)
