An Early Morning Visit to Stew's and Mr. Penguin

This morning, while the house was getting cleaned, Mommy took Clara and Emma for an 8 am visit to Stew Leonard's. Mommy would like to know why they don't have double carts like Costco (which wasn't opened). Mommy took Clara and Emma to see the animals and then bought some groceries. Of course, Clara and Emma loved the music.





Clara and Emma have finally been able to stay up longer. Today, Mommy put them down at about 9:15. They slept (to Mommy's suprise) until 10:50. In fact, Emma was still sleeping when Mommy went in to get Clara since she was crying. After lunch, Denise, babysitter to several friends in the Rivertowns, came by to help out. She was great with Clara and Emma- they just loved her penguin act (see the video). Clara also practiced walking quite a bit, still like Frankenstein. Clara and Emma took their afternoon nap from 130-3. Mommy was suprised and thought it would be an easy afternoon, but Emma cried most of it. Denise and Mommy couldn't figure out what was wrong- she even cried during her bath. She kept putting her head on the floor, so Mommy gave Clara and Emma their bottles at the usual time and put them down to bed.
