When Eleanor and Claire seem unable to play together well, we've started having "Alone Time." They get to play, just not together, and usually go to their respective rooms. Today, Eleanor asked to play in the playroom and built this. She knew we were getting ready to go to visit some friends who live in a high rise downtown so she built this model of their place.
Meanwhile, in her room Claire wrote "C's" on a chalkboard. This is the letter she knows best since it is "my letter."
We rode the train to our friends' place and Eleanor kept track of how many stops we had traveled, knowing we had to go to the 11th stop. Here she is at stop 8--she kept her fingers up the whole ride there so she wouldn't lose count.
Don't you usually walk around your downtown with a dress and a floatie?
The main attraction at Peter's house was the pool! This one was super shallow and perfect for the kids to wade and jump in (floatie not really needed).
Claire borrowed Peter's floating device (not sure what it's really called). She was excited to try it out and jumping up and down.
She felt comfortable enough in it to very quickly try to float on her back.
Just a few seconds to show Claire's new-found comfort in the pool with this thing!
We later moved to the full-size pool and everyone was happy in the pool for a really long time!
Eleanor and Peter eating lunch afterwards.
After a very late rest time, we had an early dinner and watched one of the (MANY!) new movies from Aunt Linda.
