A Relaxing Thanksgiving Weekend

On Friday morning, Clara and Emma enjoying their ride-ons and extra help from Daddy and Grandpa Frome. Clara and Emma enjoyed a Friday with all four grandparents. Grandma and Grandpa Gornstein came to visit and everyone went to the Dobbs Diner for lunch. Clara had to go to the doctor with Mommy to make sure she didn't have an ear infection... she didn't. On Saturday, Clara and Emma enjoyed some more playtime with Grandma and Grandpa Frome before they headed back to Maryland. Emma practiced her new dancing skills with Grandpa and Clara made sure to get in one last book. Clara and Emma tried on the sweaters that Grandma Frome is knitting for them and seemed to like them!

Sunday was an indoor day for the Gornsteins as it flurried and rained most of the day. Clara and Emma spent the day in their pajamas and Mommy and Daddy got them back on a schedule. The ladies took a nap at 10 and another at about 2:15. It seems to work better for them, so that is where it will stay for now.




Emma continued to say "no" and shake her finger, like Auntie Alyssa taught her on Thursday. She and Clara also demonstrated many of the hand motions for "Itsy Bitsy Spider," and Emma said "Itsy." Emma and Clara still need to get some saline in their noses, but it is funny now because they both take the bottle and try and stick it up their own noses- but if Mommy or Daddy tries, it is a struggle. Emma is standing on her own a bit more and takes a step or two when she isn't realizing that she is doing it.
