Saturday was a fun morning the beach. In the afternoon, the ladies enjoyed a visit to the pool and their first rainbow ices with Grandma and Mommy before heading back to hang out with Grandma and Grandpa Frome.
On the way home from the beach, Clara and Emma were talking about their friends and going to school with Laurie and Helene- their 2's teachers. Emma was talking about how much she loved riding the horsey at school. Mommy reminded them that they are big girls now and going to the 3s and that their neighbor friends, Shana and Kayla are going to go with Laurie and Helene and that they'll have new teachers.
At least for the next hour, Emma kept saying, "we're going to the 3's class. Shana and Kayla are going to be in the 2's. We're big girls now." Mommy hopes they get it a little and wants to give them a little preparation because they do remember and it is going to be a big surprise in a few weeks when school starts.
A highlight of the drive home was the stop at the farmers market - awesome sweet cantelopes, watermelon and pineapples to taste.
Emma and Clara have demanded Fancy Nancy (hardcover original) and the new ones that Grandma and Grandpa got for them at the beach- one about a pajama day even features a little girl named Clara, so now Mommy changes the name of the other kid to Emma- they talk about being twins because they wear the same outfit, so it works..
And the transition to the big adult potty has been smooth. Mommy put the pink potties in the bathroom (they had been in the kitchen) around the time of their birthdays. At the beach and now at home, they know to run to the bathroom and go. This at least, was smooth.
