Emma had a doctor appointment in the city and Daddy drove the gang in. Mommy's plans all fell through because most everything indoors to do was closed (it was Monday). Mommy made it to FAO Schwarz before the downpour. The kids liked visiting with all the stuffed animals and seeing the puppets. The elevator was broken, so Mommy couldn't take the kids upstairs or downstairs. Finally, Mommy decided to brave it and made it a block to Crate and Barrel. Soaked- Mommy braved it and had the little ladies in their rain boots tuck their legs and used the stroller cover to protect them and made it to Dylan's Candy Store. The ladies loved looking at the candy stairwell and wanted everything at the store. Mommy took them upstairs where they got mini pink cupcakes and were so excited to sit and eat them. The rain finally let up, so Mommy was ready to walk a little more north to get lunch- but Clara, followed by Emma fell asleep in the stroller and the place Mommy wanted to go, that was stroller friendly- was closed. Mommy took the kids early to Emma's doctor appointment, but they didn't mind and were able to see her fairly quickly.
The two sat in the doctor's office exchanging "mean witch" faces and making each other laugh. These "mean witch" faces are their "mean faces," where they both look down and Clara rolls her eyes back.
Daddy was able to come, which was very helpful and for the first time, Mommy and Daddy felt that progress was being made with Emma. Emma had blood word (screamed and kicked during it, but made it through) and will try a few new things- a chocolate laxative (she hates taking the miralax and it is hit or miss with what she gets in), an enema for a few days. Next Monday, Emma will have a small procedure done at the hospital to help figure out what is going on.
Mommy enjoyed a late afternoon and evening in city with friends at Zengo- fun!
