Clara and Emma enjoyed a morning gardening with Grandma and helping Daddy clean up outside. They were so tired, Mommy put them down almost an hour earlier than usual (they were up early this morning too).
A photographer came to capture the Gornstein family and also some shots of the Frome family (thanks Grandma and Grandpa Gornstein).
A yummy bbq dinner was followed by a delish Dora cake. Clara and Emma lit up when the cake came out and everyone started singing Happy Birthday. They couldn't wait to open their presents. A huge hit was the dress up box from Auntie Alyssa- Clara and Emma got decked out right away.
Tonight, Clara, overtired, stated "I'm busy" and went back to coloring with her princess crayons in her Dora and Kai Lan coloring books. She also kept running around with a huge grin on her face saying goodbye!
Emma somehow got her leg stuck in the bed railing, but with some soap and twisting, her leg was freed and she calmed down and said "I'm okay."

Let The Festivities Begin
This afternoon, Clara and Emma celebrated their 3rd Birthday at The Little Gym of Scarsdale with their friends. And, just before the party, Grandma Kathy arrived to suprise Clara and Emma. Grandpa David couldn't come because he was sick, but Clara and Emma were so excited to see Grandma Kathy get out of the taxi.
Clara and Emma had a blast at their party! They loved running around the room, hanging from the bars, jumping on the bouncy blow up, doing the zip line and the parachute. And, yes, the pizza and cake were a hit too. Clara and Emma were thrilled to get a birthday tiara and a Kai Lan cake. While they were prepared and knew it was their party, they looked a little shocked that everyone was singing to them!
Mommy and Daddy were proud of Clara and Emma for saying thank you and helping hand out goodie bags.
The LOVED opening presents and wanted to immediately play with so many of the very nice things that their friends gave them.

They Say The Darndest Things
It was a good night at the Gornstein house as there were no night awakenings- and Emma, after 5 days, finally pooped. Figuring out what is the root cause has been challenging and is still unanswered, but lies somewhere between a dairy intolerance and GI issues + regular almost 3 year old behavior.
Off to camp the ladies went and enjoyed making bracelets and soccer.
Emma wanted to read "The Paper Bag Princess." She said "Clara doesn't like the dragon. It scares her," and read the book to herself. "Once upon a time, there was a princess, with a paper bag and messed up hair," as she looked at the picture on the first page. She turned the page and kept missing the rest of the book and said, "I can't read the pictures."
After their nap, Clara asked for pudding as a snack. She joined Mommy at the fridge and only saw the square ones- aka the soy ones. Clara said "Mommy, I don't like square, I want circle ones. They better. Emma eat square ones." No idea how if she means that she likes the shape or taste better, but still,interesting.
Tonight, Mommy suggested a bubble bath. Clara said "no Mommy, it hurt Emma." So sweet and observant. A few minutes later, when Mommy asked Emma the same question, Emma said "did the dr. say it was okay for me? Can't believe she remembered.

Pancakes For A Cure
Clara and Emma enjoyed a morning trip to the city to see Imaginocean at the New Victory Theatre. A cute show, the ladies loved the fish and talked about how they found a treasure and got friendship bracelets at the end- and of course, now they too want friendship braclets.
They napped at home and had a tough and cranky afternoon. Clara insisted on wearing her purple dress all morning (yes, to the show) and her purple mittens all afternoon. But, with Daddy's encouragement, Mommy took the gals to IHOP in Hartsdale to eat with friends and support Pancakes For a Cure. Clara and Emma jumped right up in the booth and sat with their friends. They loved their smiley face pancakes, eggs, yogurt and fruit- and ate so nicely.

Observations
Just a quick little story from the ladies that woke up at 5:40 am. Yes. That early. Emma woke up screaming and of course, when Mommy finally went in, Clara popped up too. They were exhausted by the time Mommy got them to camp, but seem to have a great day!
Mommy went to pick them up from camp.
Emma: "Mommy,oooh, I love your haircut. It is beautiful."
Clara: "Mommy, where is your ponytail? I like that haircut better."
Well, at least they noticed!! Mommy got a haircut and several inches cut off.
Emma woke up screaming from her nap early and the kids were pretty cranky the rest of the day. They enjoyed a playdate at the house with friend Eli and Alice, and their mom, Caroline. Mommy even got them in bed early and they went to sleep without too much of a fuss- they were exhausted (Mommy and Daddy too).

The Big Clean
On Saturday morning, Clara and Emma enjoyed attending friend Justin's 3rd birthday. The loved playing outside with the bubbles- even though it was incredibly hot and humid. And, they got ot make picture frames too. A special treat was that one of their nursery school teachers, Laurie, came to the party to see everyone. It doesn't really get any more cool than that. And, Clara and Emma are quite aware that their birthday is soon and are very very excited.
While Mommy is somewhat of an organized person, Mommy needs help when it comes to the house. And, it is hard for Mommy to concentrate and find big chunks of time with Clara and Emma running around. So, this weekend, Grandma and Grandpa Gornstein came to help and were home when Clara and Emma arrived back from the party. During the "big clean," Mommy found things that she had saved since college-and while it was a nice alk down memory lane, it was time for the mix tapes, letters and random items to move on to another place.
The kids took a great nap and afterwards, enjoyed playing in the pool out in the back and swinging, before coming inside to relax. Daddy made dinner on the bbq and made some chicken and lamb. Clara was fascinated with the lamb and more specifically, the bone. "Mommy, where is the bone? Do you eat the bone? Can I see the bone? Why bone?"
Mommy and Daddy woke up and were thrilled not to have been woken up during the middle of the night by Emma. At breakfast, Emma shared a story that she made up- she opened her hands like a book and said "This is Mickey Mouse and he is hungry. He is going to eat breakfast now. The end." Mommy gets a huge kick out of listening to Emma because she speaks like she is fifteen- with introductions to sentences with the word "well" as in "Well, I was just going to..." and every other word as "like" sprinkled with "um," as in "Like I was just like going to um do this puzzle." Clara is also funny these days with her scrunched up smiley face and saying "I don't want to tell you."
While Mommy and Grandma Gornstein continued organizing, Clara and Emma enjoyed playing with Daddy and Grandpa. Emma and Clara found the ducks from Israel that Mommy had saved from their school things that Mommy organized. Emma said "Oh, this is from school. We ate food and ice cream on our trip. We also went fishing." All true- and that by the was in April for Yom Ha'atzmaut- and she remembered.
This morning, Emma put something on Clara's plate. Clara yelled "I don't like vegetables. Emma like vegetables. Emma put vegetables on my plate. Take off."
Before their nap, Clara wore her purple dress and was dancing around.
Emma: (while wearing the King's crown upside down on her head) "Clara, I'll be the prince. You be Cinderella. Let's dance like at the ball."
Clara:: "Okay."
Emma and Clara: "La, di, la, la."
After almost 2 full days of organizing, all of the leftover boxes are finally unpacked and the office is organized-there is more to do, but it is a great feeling. Mommy thanks Grandma and Grandpa Gornstein and Daddy for all of their help!!
The torrential rains came quickly and cooled off the air a bit. Clara and Emma took a nice nap and since they hadn't been out all day, Mommy and Daddy took them to Pumpernickel for dinner. They behaved nicely and gobbled up both the pasta with butter and pasta with red sauce. They got ice cream sandwiches for dessert (Mommy and Daddy allow Emma one dairy type product a day). On the way home, they were playing with their mini screwdriver and mini hammer they got as a party favor yesterday. Emma annouced "I'm going to get screwed." Mommy and Daddy laughed. They Clara said "I'm getting hammered," followed by Emma's "I'm getting screwed." Yep, that's a golden one for the books!

Some Photos from Camp
Just a quick post to share some photos sent over from the camp director and some of the weekly updates from the past few weeks about what Clara and Emma have been up to at camp! Enjoy!
----
The Choo Choo Trains chugged along happily during our first week of camp! Anabella was a star on the playground as she fearlessly climbed the play structures. Nicholas quickly learned his way around and became our line leader. Abby made us all smile as she splashed in the water tables and ran through the sprinklers. We were so proud of how well the group played with one another and adjusted to camp and our routines. We are excited to see them all next week at camp!
A big thank you goes out to Helen who has spent the week with us while Michelle is away. Monday will be Helen's last day as a Choo Choo Train. Michelle will be back on Tuesday.
See you next week!

The Choo Choo Trains had a festive beginning to our short week. We celebrated Emma N.'s third birthday with a special snack. Thank you to Emma and her family! Riding our bikes and scooters through the sprinklers was a hit during the hot weather. Emma G. played at the water table, splashed in the puddles and laughed in the sprinkler. Eitan organized story time on our rainy Picture Day. The group loved hearing "Pete's A Pizza" and "Where the Wild Things Are."
Have a wonderful weekend and we'll see everyone next week!
The Choo Choo Trains had fun this week even when the weather was rainy and hot. Jack was so happy as he joined Kenny's elephant train in music, Ashley was a star on our rainy Wednesday, leading our scavenger hunt and demonstrating somersaults in gymnastics. Clara loves playing outside! This week she raced around on scooters and shared watering cans at the water table. Our third week of camp was a great success.
Choo Choo Trains welcomed Dean back to camp this week. Dean keeps busy on the playground and enjoys sliding down the red slide. Phil looks forward to morning circle time. He sings the JCC camp song all morning! Anabelle and Abby enjoyed creating challah plates during our art time. Please remember to send in a white t-shirt for tie-dye on Monday.
A big thank you goes out to Helen who has spent the week with us while Michelle is away. Monday will be Helen's last day as a Choo Choo Train. Michelle will be back on Tuesday.
See you next week!

Reading Books
Mommy slept on the floor in Clara and Emma's room last night after trying multiple times to calm Emma down and not wanting to give in to her request to sleep in Mommy's bed.
Emma wanted to read the Fancy Nancy book again today- but by herself. She sat down, opened the book and started reading- and knew every word. Now, Emma can't read, but she has been read the story so often in the past few weeks, that she knows it by heart.
Clara had a tantrum like none other she has had - over an hour of crying hysterically, throwing herself around, rolling on the floor and being unconsolable. Mommy tried everything- and Emma even went to get Clara's blankie- which Clara didn't want. Finally, she settled down, but Mommy couldn't get them out of their napping pajamas and it got too late to do anything.
All the Gornstein girls were happy that Daddy returned tonite from his business trip. Clearly, Clara and Emma are both overtired and are having a tough time settling down at night.

Soccer Stars
Clara and Emma joined Mommy at her appointment at the dermatologist. They even got princess stickers for behaving well (bunny crackers and their "drawing things" helped). After a quick trip to Michael's- where they wanted to buy everything and loaded up the cart (why Mommy took them/didn't make them go in the cart is a very good question). The ladies enjoyed their first Soccer SuperStars class. They listened well and participated nicely- both were kicking the ball and having a blast- and talked about it all day! Funny enough that they were wearing their Cinderella and Beauty t shirts- a nice balance!
Mommy took them out to lunch and then home for a nap. Clara woke up after a short nap screaming, so it wasn't great and they were very tired.
In the car, Emma noticed the fire engines and said "oh, that truck is rojo, right?" Mommy was impressed. Emma went on to say "it is red, like the stop light." So Mommy asked her what color was azul, and she said "blue." And, she know"amarillo" too. Mommy asked her what other Spanish words she knew. She said "vamos." Mommy asked her what it meant and her response, "let's go." Then, came the best line- "I learned it on Dora, she speaks Spanish like Grandma Silvia."
The ladies enjoyed a fun indoor playdate at their friend Ryder's house.
Emma had an accident again today. She has good days and not so good days with potty training. Three months after being trained, she can tell you sometimes when she needs to pee, but sometimes she doesn't tell you soon enough and often gets distracted and forgets. So, when Mommy doesn't force her to go when she arrives somewhere, there is often an accident. Clara seems to be able to tell you that she needs to go, but still has the world's smallest bladder- she was thirsty this afternoon- and it was hot- so a small water bottle and water/juice later- she had to pee 4 times in about 45 minutes!

"I Don't Want To Get In Trouble"
Clara and Emma enjoyed getting dressed in their swimsuits for camp- Clara was especially happy to wear her "keen."
Emma woke up shortly after she started her nap screaming in pain, trying to poop (it had been several days). Emma was screaming and crying and Mommy was holding her. Clara had to come out of bed too and see what was going on. Mommy asked Clara to get Emma's blankie and Clara looked at Mommy, and said "Okay, I be right back Emma. It okay." She went and got the blankie and brought it back and gave it to Emma.
While on the phone with Grandma Frome, Emma explained why she didn't want to get out of bed. She stated "I didn't get out. I didn't want to get in trouble."
Tonight, another night of Clara climbing in and out. After several attempts, Mommy had to raise her voice at Clara and explain that it isn't okay to get out of bed. In a true difference of personalities, while Emma laughed, Clara burst out in tears and said "Mommy, I love you."

Boom Boom
So much for honeymoon period of the ladies staying in their beds (read: Grandma Frome, your granddaughters need to be spoken to by you and re-learn the rules).
Last night, Mommy went up to check on the kids and found them with stacks of books in their beds. After a minute, Mommy realized that these were not here when Mommy left the room after saying goodnight. Mommy asked Clara if she got out of bed and she just looked at Mommy. Emma responded, "yes, she did." Mommy reminded them that big girls stay in their beds.
In fact, this morning, Mommy and Daddy discussed staying in bed and not getting out with both Clara and Emma. However, not much stuck because during nap time, Mommy heard loud noises and went in to find Clara standing next to Emma's bed. Good news is after looking at Mommy with fear, Clara and Emma went on to take a nice nap.
The day started with quite a storm-it grew very dark and lots of rain, thunder and lightening came. Clara and Emma didn't like the noise, so Mommy told them to speak back to the noise and say "boom boom," (of course they did it all day too). Mommy changed the kids out of their bathing suits, put them in clothes, got their rain boots and rain jackets and put a pair of shoes in their backpacks (at least they are all packed for camp on Tuesday). When the storm seemed to end, Mommy headed off to camp- very slowly, as it picked up again. The line at drop off was very long because everyone left a little later and went slowly. Mommy had to pull over because the sheets of rain coming down after drop off made it so Mommy couldn't see! Of course, by the time Mommy left her spinning class, it was humid and sunny!
This afternoon, Mommy took Clara and Emma for their first visit to the Ardsley Swim and Tennis Club with some neighbors. Clara and Emma loved playing in the pool and playground and enjoyed dinner with the Best family. It was lots and lots of fun!
Just a funny note that Clara figured out how to take the battery/talking part our of her Leap Frog Lily doll that sings "1,2,3." This little purple box has become something the ladies fight over too. They each like to hold it and also put it to their ear and pretend to talk to Lily- priceless.

The "Keen"
This morning, everyone was well-rested due to no middle of the night wake ups.Clara put on her bead necklace and told Mommy and Daddy that she was "going to bring it to camp to show everyone." Daddy shared that wasn't a good idea since she'd probably lose it. Clara's response "No,no, no, no. Mommy said it is okay. Okay, Mommy?" She's got a way of not only saying "no" these days, but also playing sides- how she has figured this out at nearly 3, one will never know!
After Daddy headed to work, Mommy got the kids ready for camp. Mommy put the ladies in the rainbow colored bikinis that Auntie Alyssa got the kids. Clara said "I love my keen." Mommy coached her and tried to teach her the word bikini, but she kept saying "keen." She also shared that "My body isn't covered in the keen," pointing to her belly.
Mommy must note that one of the sweetest moments is coming to camp to pick up the kids and watching them find you as you walk in, leap to their feet and come running for hugs- yum!
In the car on the way home, Mommy said "We're almost home sweet peas." Emma responded "We're not peas. We're not vegetables. We're little girls." She doesn't miss a thing!
This afternoon, the ladies headed to Chase Park in Scarsdale for a concert- it was awesome. Our neighbor Maya with her daughter Kayla and friend Hilary and her son Jack joined for some fun dancing. Clara loved being a groupie! Afterwards, the Gornstein girls joined Maya and Kayla and Kayla's Daddy, Dori, for some sorbet.
Tonight, Clara and Emma belted out "The JCC is #1" from their bedroom. Mommy and Daddy looked at each other and giggled that they must have learned a cheer at camp.
