Apple Picking!

The day started with an early wake up and princess dress up. Emma carried what she called "twins" today- one insider her dress and one in a stroller. Then, it was off to Silverman's Farm in Easton, CT, about a 45 minute drive from the house to meet Naomi and her twin boys, Eitan and Micah for a farm visit and of course, apple picking.

Emma even tried feeding the goats on her own and tried calling for the sheep to come to her so she could feed them "sheep, sheep, come here." The kids loved the tractors with the slides. The gang took a tractor ride up the hill to the orchard and picked some apples. Clara started off right away with picking and apple and tasting it. She kept saying "mmmm, juicy." Clara probably tried at least 10 apples- she'd pick them, try it and put it in the bag. Good thing that the lady at the front said "feel free to try and then fill up your bag as much as you can."

After a car nap and a quick snack at home, it was off to WCEED for their various therapies.

And, in really really really great news, Emma pooped on the potty tonite - this is fantastic because not only did she poop, but she did it on the potty. So even though it took 4 days, here's to hoping a corner has been turned!
