Emma woke up in the middle of the nite and slept in Mommy and Daddy´s room. Her stomach issues still not resolved, it was clear she was in pain. She slept until almost 8, which is better than the past few days. Emma enjoyed some tv but still only wants to watch the Gabba episode about Muno´s family and any dvd from Signing Time. She lights up when Signing Time starts, jumps up and down while clapping and loves singing along and doing the signs.
Clara kept on sleeping and Mommy and Daddy woke her up around 9:45. Then, it was off for a stroll in the neighborhood and to pick up some medialunas for Clara and Emma. It was a very humid day which featured clouds, sun and rain.
The spinach pancakes at lunch were a huge hit and the gals enjoyed some steak as well. It was nice to sit at home with Grandma and Grandpa , Tia Raquel and cousin Vanina for lunch.
This afternoon, both ladies took a long and much needed nap. After, the gang headed via taxi to the Abasto mall, which houses the Children´s Museum. First, it was a stop at Freddo for ice cream! Clara and Emma split a light chocolate shake. Clara downed hers in one breath while Emma waited patiently for her straw (Mommy had two take and toss cups in which to divide the shake up). Clara immediately asked for more and Mommy shared her dulce de leche shake and Grandpa gave of his strawberry shake. Grandma and Daddy had cones, and Clara and Emma enjoyed tasting those as well. Nothing is better than watching Emma and Clara take bites out of an ice cream cone at the same time and eating it with a huge smile on their face. Grandpa and Daddy took Clara and Emma and met Tia Raquel and cousin Julieta and their cousins Elizabeth and her four kids. Mommy and Grandma ran some errands and then Mommy went to the museum. It is quite a place, but it seemed that the grocery store and the cars were a big hit with Clara and Emma.
Bath nite featured a bubble bath from hand soap (great idea, Daddy!) and plastic cups and silverware. Emma and Clara made apple pie and cookies in the bath- baking seems to be their new thing. They also enjoyed putting shampoo in each other´s hair and Emma loved saying ökay, ready, close your eyes, I am going to put water on your head¨ -which is what Mommy says. It is funny hearing your words repeated by a 2 year old.
