On Tuesday, Clara and Emma met friends Caroline and Eli and Rachel and Sonya for breakfast before gym class. At gym class, Clara made herself comfortable in the middle of the circle (she seems to like it there, as she did it in music too). She loved the silver mattress type thing that there was to crawl on and kept going back and forth. Emma loved the slide and kept asking to go up. Clara and Emma both loved the balloons! It is a great class because it has structure but you can also do what you want- which is great for Clara and Emma and their friends.
Clara loves playing with the puzzle stools in her room. She always has enjoyed them, but she goes over every single day and takes out the pieces and tries to put them back in - and looks to you for approval.
After gym, Clara and Emma slept in the car and woke up at the mall. Mommy took them to lunch at City Limits. After lunch and shopping, Clara and Emma headed home for their afternoon nap, which mostly consisted of them screaming. In the afternoon, Mommy took the ladies out for a walk and to the store.
Today, Clara woke up early again and screamed with joy for at least a half hour. Mommy and Daddy thought it was cute, even though it woke them up! The ladies didn't enjoy the morning diaper change- even though Mommy is pretty fast. Clara and Emma are officially being changed on the floor since Daddy rearranged the room. Sometimes Mommy does it on the changing pad and sometimes, just on the floor. Emma seems to like climbing on the pad and sitting there. Emma didn't want to be in her highchair and started squirming and screaming. Mommy took her out and she dined on Daddy's lap- including eating her yogurt- which ended up all over Daddy, the floor and of course, Emma. Mommy finds the toddler behaviors frustrating, yet amusing- all at the same time.
Mommy took Clara and Emma to the gym. After, Clara and Emma took a nap in the car and Mommy drove around. For lunch, Mommy took the ladies to Tarrytown and Horsefeathers, where Rachel and Sonya joined for salads (for the adults) and grilled cheese (for the little ones). It was a beautiful day and everyone enjoyed being outside. Emma noticed the scarecrows that were put up for decorations. Mommy thought she was going to cry, but she kept smiling and pointing at them. After a walk around town and a stop in Coffee Labs, Clara and Emma headed home for a nap. Mommy took the ladies out for a walk in the afternoon and to the swings. Clara took a little nap in the stroller, and Mommy decided not to wake her, so Emma got to enjoy the swings herself. Tonight, Emma and Clara enjoyed their dinner and milk. Mommy changed them into their pj's and brought them upstairs. Clara and Emma finished their milk and played. They are enjoying their flower puppets and when Mommy tried to encourage them to drink more by pretending to give the puppets milk, Clara and Emma proceeded to copy Mommy and offer their milk to the puppets. It was very cute. Emma has been drinking more milk, still not enough, but at least she is drinking!
