The first day they came, Audrey smiled at Ethan and he was hooked. He instantly declared them friends and has wanted to hold her nearly every day since. Near the end of the day he was very upset that we had to give the twins back. He was under the impression that we got to keep them all the time.
Maya has adjusted remarkably well. I'm sure it helps that she is enthralled with babies in general. But she always has been a very girly girl. Loves shoes, jewelry, purses, babies and chocolate and easily gets emotional. Yep, all girl. Since Audrey is usually taken by Ethan, Maya goes to Charles to tickle his toes and gab at him, which he seems to love.
The real adventure comes when we all go out. I didn't realize it would take half an hour to load 4 kids in the van, but it does. Then there's the logisitcs of carts. Who's walking, riding, sitting in a backpack or staying in a carseat? All depends on the location. But the funniest things are the reactions of all the people in the community. (You know, people don't whisper as quietly as they think they do.) I don't have time in my day to explain to every stranger that they're not all mine.
For now, we are enjoying our adventure. And I'm pretty sure the twins are enjoying all the attention and affection.
