Solo Searching

As a mother of twins, I often hear, "I don't know how you do it with two the same age. " But, the truth is.......I don't know how I'd do it without two the same age!! Sometimes folks forget that my two have a built-in playmate......a permanent play date that last 24/7. They have a friend at all times.....a full-time partner in crime.....a buddy that never has to go home. I think Karson finally realized what it's like for most of the world's 3-year-olds when she attended an egg hunt at the church where she goes to pre-school........solo. With a temp of over 100, Brady had no desire or energy to go. So, Karson experienced a little taste of loneliness without her Braids by her side.Before the hunt, the church's pastor had everyone meet in the sanctuary for a brief message about the meaning of Easter. The entire pre-school had been invited to the event. However, I am pretty sure that we were the only non-members of this church who accepted the invite. Karson looked at me and said, "Mommy, we are sitting by ourselves. We have no friends. I need a friend to sit by." She is definitely not used to doing things solo. She is looking a little forlorn at the start of the hunt. Normally, she and Brady would be holding hands.......with Brady giving her explicit instructions about exactly what to do.

She did, however, find a pink egg which made the egg hunt a great success in her mind!!

She was VERY eager to take her candy home to share with her Braids. I think she has decided that except for girls only tea-parties and toe-nail painting.......she want her Braids with her at all times!
