Mel's babies


Melanie is very busy when it comes to taking care of her babies.  She has a routine that she can do over and over, involving checking ALL of their diapers (although none of them actually wear diapers), reporting on whether they're dirty, dry, or wet.... sometimes needing a wipe to clean them up - then putting them all down for naps, covering them up with whatever she can find, then putting them all along the wall in "time up" - and then repeating the process all over again.  She plays really well independently this way; she also enjoys an audience.  When they're all down for their nap, if there is a chair availalble, she'll rock in it & watch her charges sleep.  Or, when they're all taken care of, she will collect her purse & some other belongings, and go bye-bye.  Usually when she leaves, she's going to see "MollyJulieMatt."  She likes to give kisses before this journey begins.
