The development we live in also has a wonderful community playground with swings and a climbing structure. We meet a group for playdate about once a week. On rainy days (had to readjust to that!) we play at other people's houses from church. The girls are settling in and making friends, although Ally still cries sometimes over the friends she left behind in Washington and then Cora will whine "I miss Braelyn."
A big perk in returning to NC (besides the weather) is having family and longtime friends nearby. We've seen Jess on multiple occasions and are getting to know her precious little nephew a lot better. Cora feels right at home at Aunt Jessie's; she steals her money, she naps in Zach's chair . . .
Ally and Cora still love dressing up as princesses and fairies. Then they twirl and dance around, hoping for their Prince Charmings to show up and take notice.
We got a membership to the Greensboro Children's Museum and have already played there on multiple occasions. They have a "Main Street" with a post office, hospital and nursery, grocery store, TV station, pizza parlor, construction zone, grandma's house, and other areas. They have a plane, a train, and a few automobiles. They also have a camping section, a Curious George exhibit, and a garden out back with chickens. Ally and Cora LOVE having a place just their size where they can run around and pretend all day.
The museum is downtown, right across the street from another favorite place: the library. Ally loves picking out books (especially Fancy Nancy) and usually has one or two of them read by the time we get home. We generally go to a smaller branch every Friday for story and craft time. Ally and Cora are becoming quite the little artists. And I don't have to worry about coming up with ideas, collecting supplies, or cleaning up the mess. The library is becoming one of my favorite places to visit, too.
