NICU Reunion

Last week, we went to the NICU reunion. As soon as we got there, we saw someone dressed up as a teddy bear (the NICU mascot), and the girls freaked out.

And it didn't help that, once we got inside, they saw someone dressed up as a tiger. And that freaked them out even more. (They had a tiger mascot come to visit daycare a few weeks ago, and that night at dinner, they told me that the tiger "scare me.")

Emma was so freaked out, she was shaking, and insisted on being held any time the tiger was around. Her head was constantly pivoting around, trying to keep an eye out for where the tiger was at all times.

There were a couple of activities around, and we got Becca to decorate a sugar cookie, but Julie and Emma refused to be put down. We got some food and tried to eat, but again, they were too scared. (The hats are safari hats that we got there.)

We did get to see one of our primary nurses (Debbie Jo) while we were there - she hadn't seen the girls since we left the NICU. We were yet again reminded how lucky we are to have three happy, healthy little girls with us. We didn't stay long. They wouldn't even leave Greg's side so I could take their pictures.

Julie and Becca snacked on some chicken fingers as we walked back to the car, but we had to stop on the way home for a real dinner.

We let Becca eat her icing-loaded cookie after dinner. It looks like she enjoyed it.
