Mommy decided that Clara and Emma were ready to have a pillow. Daddy and Mommy purchased them pillows and pale green pillow cases to match their bedding last weekend. Mommy probably should have tried it a nap first, but decided with Daddy to just try it.
Emma loved the pillow. When Mommy and Daddy checked on her, she was clinging to it. Clara pushed the pillow to the other side.
Clara and Emma enjoyed camp today and got to play outside before it got rainy. Emma loved walking through the car wash- back and forth-and was wet from head to toe. Wouldn't you know it- today was the day that Mommy forgot the towel.
After a not so great nap, the gals headed off to Hastings Station Cafe for the relocated Playdate in the Park, of course presented by The Rivertown Play Group. Mommy got the ladies a muffin for a snack. When Mommy tried to break it in half, Clara was not too happy. Instead of a scene, Mommy bought another muffin for Emma. Both girls tried to take bites out of muffins that were way too big. It was quite a picture to see the kids trying to eat these muffins. They did eventually break off pieces to feed each other. There were two 5 month old babies there and Clara and Emma were lovely hosts and said "hi baby." Clara even tried talking to one of the babies and offered her some muffin. Two big messes later, it was time to run out in the rain and get in the car.
Mommy drove the gang to Scarsdale, a very short 5 minute drive from the house, to see Sharon (Mommy's former boss at Temple Shaaray Tefila) and one of her three kids. It was fun to catch up and just like old times. Clara and Emma enjoyed playing with a flashlight and following the light around and tripping over themselves as the looked up and kept moving the light around.
Before bed, a tired Clara decided it was hugging time and ran around trying to hug Emma, which resulted in generally tackling her to the floor and lots of giggles. Emma kept saying "I love you Clara" and "hug." Grandma Frome was on the phone with Mommy and can confirm this report.
