Clara and Emma made Mommy and Daddy very proud today.
The gals hit the big city with Mommy to see the Christmas Tree at Rockefeller Center (which has sort of become something the gang does every year), visited the windows at Saks and somehow ended up at the American Girl store. Mommy had never been and had no idea what to expect. Mommy and the kids couldn't believe the hair salon- yes- a real hair salon- for the dolls. Clara and Emma don't have these dolls yet and will get them when they turn 5- it is something special to be reserved for Grandma Silvia, Grandma Kathy and Clara and Emma.
After a much anticipated cab ride, the Gornstein gals arrived at NY Presbyterian Hospital to vist Grandma Silvia. She is doing well after back surgery on Friday. Emma walked in, looked up and asked "where is my Dora balloon?" You see, she remembered the lobby and her balloon flying up to the ceiling when she left the hospital in September 2010.
Clara and Emma went up the elevator and stopped by to see Grandma Silvia and gave her kisses and held her hand- they smiled and did such a great job of visiting someone who was sick. They enjoyed lunch out with Grandpa and Tia Raquel (visiting from Argentina) and spent most of the day in the family waiting room visiting with family and coloring.
They seemed to bring lots of sunshine to Grandma! Get well soon!
