Zoo With Daddy

Daddy took the day off and took all the Gornstein gals to the Bronx Zoo! It was lots of fun. Clara and Emma were so excited to be at the Zoo and ran around on the way to the Children's Zoo. They got to check out the bird's nest, and they both wanted to feed the animals at the petting zoo- so Mommy volunteered! They also got to go on the bug carousel and in the butterfly garden- they loved watching the butterflies fly around the room. Mommy had never been to these type of gardens before and it was really neat! Clara and Emma enjoyed lunch at the zoo and watching the peacocks and ducks wander around.Mommy was thrilled that they both went on the potty at the zoo and were able to go after lunch!

After their nap, the gang headed to Holbrook Cottage in Briarcliff for the TRPG event featuring Laura Nadler reading her book, Where Is Love, accompanied by a violinist. Clara and Emma both got to hold the violin and play it. The violinist was surprised that Clara and Emma both knew how to put the violin under their chin. They loved it!

For dinner, Daddy made burgers and they were yummy. Clara and Emma loved spreading the ketchup on their bread and putting their burgers in the bun.

And, great news, another dry day- 4th day in a row! Now one week after starting potty training, Clara and Emma seem to have go it. They can go in public places, say when the need to go and can pee and poop on the potty. Mommy and Daddy are learning to incorporate it in their lives and remembering to go to the potty all the time!
