No, You Can Be...

Clara and Emma went to school today and were so excited to be there. Mommy was also excited as she got to spin and run a few errands before picking the ladies up. Mommy officially gets why sending your kids to school is so cool!! Mommy did find out why Clara and Emma have insisted upon having no skin on their apples or pears. Their teacher, Laurie, informed Mommy that they take the skin off the apples at school, so of course, Clara and Emma want it that way at home!

Here is a note from Clara and Emma's teacher about school.
"Hi Parents.

Yesterday we had fun with stampers and ink pads. The children loved using them once we showed them how (see photos). We also had a circle time on our blue rug, where we sang Here We Are Together, ABC (in soft and loud voices), Hurry Hurry Drive the Firetruck, and Wheels on the Bus. We also played Ring-a-Round-the-Rosie. Then everyone took a turn ringing the snack bell. We ate and read books, and then the twos threw out their garbage and got Happy Helper stamps for doing a good job cleaning up. They waited on the red line in the hall while everyone got jackets on (see photo), and then we marched outside. We looked both ways before crossing the street to our playground. There the children enjoyed the sand, the slides, and the cars.

Your children are adjusting well and we're enjoying getting to know them!

See you tomorrow.

Laurie and Helene"












After their nap, Mommy let Clara and Emma try on their hats- which they then did not want to take off.












This afternoon, Clara and Emma had fun at Citibabes.

When we got home, Clara wanted to play in the leaves and Emma wanted to pick up acorns.

Tonight, as Mommy put the ladies to bed, Mommy read a book about Halloween. Mommy asked Clara and Emma what they wanted to be and Clara said "Nuno," meaning "Muno" from Yo Gabba Gabba. Emma said "No, I dress up as Muno. You can be Plex," all while pointing her finger at Clara. Clara wasn't happy and Mommy made sure to tell her that she can be whatever she wants. So, it may be two Munos. Last week it was ballerinas or princesses... we'll see as it gets closer!
