In the morning, Clara and Emma enjoyed a visit from Eitan and Micah and their Mommy, Naomi. Clara and Emma go way back- to the city days with these boys. They now live in Riverdale and it is always fun to see them. It was close to nap time for all the kids, so they were a bit cranky and Clara wasn't really interested in sharing her chair, stroller or lunch with them.
On Tuesday afternoon, it was off to Allie's house for a play date with her and her Mommy Heather (also Emma's physical therapist, featured below).
Yesterday, Emma woke up saying "what the heck." Mommy really needs to be careful since she repeats everything and seems to remember it all! After Clara had speech, Mommy went to the city to have lunch with twin mama friend Michelle. And, as special treat, Mommy got to visit twin mama friend Mindy and their newest addition, Emma. Clara and Emma enjoyed the morning with sitter Samantha and got to play at their water table. In the afternoon, Clara and Emma had a play date with Ethan and his mama Gwenn. It was nice to have them over to the new house. Clara enjoyed being pushed around while she sat on her car. However, Clara's had some issues with sharing and gets very angry- typical toddler behavior.
Today, there was no humidity and it was actually cool in the morning- enough so that Mommy put the kids in their sweatshirts. Clara and Emma started the day off running around the house and chasing Mommy. Then, it was off to LIFE for the weekly Rivertown Play Group event. Emma insisted on wearing her tutu and Clara wore Daddy's Binghamton hat. It was the little ballerina and hip hop artist show. Too much.
In the afternoon, Heather came for a make up physical therapy session for Emma. Clara has been helping out by doing things first. Emma seems to follow Clara and be at ease with here there. While Emma was getting ready to do the step ups, she said she needed help. She had one leg up. Emma stepped off and Clara did it. Then, Emma tried again and reached out for Heather's hand. Heather and Mommy knew Emma could do it. Clara suddenly stepped next to Emma, reached out her hand and helped her up. Yes, really. Mommy has a witness. And, she did it again and again- Mommy even caught it on video. It really does melt your heart.
Mommy took the ladies to the doctor for their flu shot. Since they were available, Mommy decided to get it over with. Clara went first and Emma cried because Clara was crying. Mommy had both kids on her lap and was pleased that after the initial tears, both shouted, "I did it."
After a brief trip to the store, it was home bound to make dinner. Clara and Emma had their first frozen dinner- organic elmo pasta and carrots and green beans. Mommy officially caved into the advertising and bought it. And, of course, Clara and Emma said "elmo pasta," and actually ate it and the veggies. The gals even dined on all-tiem summer favorite fruit, watermelon! It warranted a phone call to Grandma Frome.
