First, Gino picked up the stuffed animal that was sitting next to him in the playpen and began sucking on its ear. He smiled and hugged it as if it was a long lost friend making me wonder what I was missing. I tried it and discovered to my intense delight how happy and content the mere touch of the toy made me feel. Soon the both of us were rolling on the floor of the playpen and giggling happily.
Momma came back to find us happily engaged in play with our toys and stood at the side of the playpen smiling down at us. She grinned and said, “I have a surprise for my sweet little babies. Something I think you’ve wanted for a long, long time. Who wants to be first? Gino? Wouldn’t you like to try on your new clothes?”
