No More Formula!!

Yesterday, Mommy questioned how she was going to register Clara and Emma for any classes in the fall. You see, most classes for kids their age are at 9:15. Usually, this is when they sleep, so Mommy is all confused about what to do! Yesterday, the ladies were tired at 9 and Mommy put them down for their nap- which lasted until 11! After lunch, Mommy took Clara and Emma to Buy Buy Baby to see if they could fix the Maclaren. They didn't have the part, but it was a fun outing. At around 1:15, Clara and Emma were tired, so Mommy put them down and the slept for a little more than an hour. After, Mommy gave them snack and took them for a walk to the park where they were entertained by some lovely ladies entering the first grade. Mommy decided to give Clara and Emma meatloaf for dinner. However, they weren't interested. In anything. Mommy tried chicken too and it just was thrown on the floor and used as fingerpaint. Again, Emma refused the bottle and Clara took hers. It was the last bottle featuring formula- 1 oz! Mommy did send an email to the twin club in Manhattan and Westchester about how Emma isn't drinking her milk and found out that lots of people have this problem. Mommy also spoke to the pediatrian and found out that it is okay and not to force her- offer it and give her yogurt and cheese and try other things, like yo baby yogurt shakes. He also said she most likely will be a skinny kid. Mommy was relieved to hear that it will be okay and not to worry too much!


Today, Clara and Emma woke up at around 7 :10. Mommy decided to see what would happen if they slept past 7 and woke up on their own. After a breakfast of waffles and banana, Clara had a little milk while Emma still refused. Today was the first day of only milk, no formula. She does take a small sip and then makes a face that shows her disgust of the taste. Emma was especially cranky this morning and fussy. Mommy walked around with her and even tried putting her down at 8:30. She just cried, so Mommy brought her downstairs and decided to take a walk. The ladies were perfectly fine and Mommy put them down for their nap at 9:40. They slept until 11:30! For lunch, Mommy prepared grilled cheese and peaches. Clara was most interested in the peaches and didn't really care for the cheese. Emma was most interested in the cheese and bread. Clara and Emma played for a bit with Mommy. Mommy was most entertained that Clara tipped over every toy she could and tried sitting on it- really- the walker, the activity table and the stage- she loves looking at everything 360 degrees and turning it upside down and sitting on it. It is very funny. Soon after, Denise arrived to play with Clara and Emma. Clara was having one of her days where she screamed with joy for fun. Mommy ran some errands and came back at 1:30 to a yawning Emma and decided to try and put Clara and Emma down for a nap, which they weren't interested in. Mommy thinks it was because the house was getting cleaned and Denise was around- it was too much excitement. So, cranky Clara and Emma skipped their nap. Clara and Emma made it to an early dinner and ate it this time. However, by the time Mommy got them upstairs, they were falling apart. Both refused the bottle and just cried and cried until they fell asleep. Hopefully, they'll have a good sleep!
