The ladies took a longer nap than usual and Mommy woke them up to see the digger truck, which made its return. Clara and Emma, groggy, ran outside to watch it dig and scoop.
After their snack, which was a mini muffin and ended up in crumbles on the floor, Mommy took out the portable vacuum cleaner. Emma insisted on doing it herself, followed by Clara. Thank you, Mommy appreciates that you like to clean up after yourselves.
For the second night in a row, Clara announced that she wanted to wear underwear. Mommy explained that in order to do that, she had to go on the potty. So, off went the clothes and on the underwear (which, by the way, Clara rejected three pairs of saying they were Emma's). In underwear, and after one visit to the potty where nothing happened, the same thing happened again - Clara peed on the floor. She took the underwear off and said, "I need new underwear," and went to her room to get some. She literally took the stoll over and pulled the drawer open, picked a pair and put them on. Mommy explained that she had to go on the potty in order to wear underwear. So, she sat again and then got up. After a few minutes, she said, "diaper, I want a diaper," and went to get one. You might ask where this leaves the Gorsntein gals and potty training. Well, Mommy would like it to be a little warmer and not tax season, but it is clear it is right around the corner. And, Mommy doesn't want to be pressured into it by anyone but the kids- because, please remember, there are two of them to train!
Mommy made a new chicken recipe (thanks, Jen M.) and everyone liked it. Clara and Emma really just didn't seem right today. Tonight, Emma bit Clara. So, Mommy grabbed Clara and made sure she was okay, took Emma by the hand, put her in the naughty corner and let her sit there and cry for 2 minutes. Mommy got Clara an M & M to calm her down and then was able to go to Emma and "release" her. Emma came to apologize to Clara and gave her a hug, but Clara sure has a nice set of bite marks on her arm. Never a dull moments.
