Habitot

Look Lily caught a fish. She says that she is ready for her first fishing trip with Grandpa A and Uncle John. This weekend, we spent a rainy Saturday afternoon at Habitot in downtown Berkeley. It is an interactive children's museum for the 4 and under crowd. The girls thought it was pretty fun.


Elsa liked going grocery shopping. She was especially amused with the asparagus. I bought her some at the grocery store to try at home. Elsa had an interesting weekend. She was totally a Daddy's girl. She wouldn't let Mark out of her sight and kept bringing him books to read her.

Meanwhile, everything Lily said ended in Mama. Bye-Bye, Mama. Hi,Mama. My turn, Mama. Its pretty funny how quickly they switch back and forth with their preferred parent. It changes every day.


By far, the coolest attraction was the play mailbox. The girls love mail, especially Elsa. Elsa calls it "may-may." Checking the mail is one of the highlights of our afternoons.


Lily and Elsa are too cool for their strollers, going incognito to the park. The girls love to go to the park so much,that they don't wait for me to put them in the stroller anymore. They do it all by themselves.

This weekend at the park, we found boyfriends for the girls. 17-month old, blond-haired, blue-eyed indentical twin boys. They were adorable and we really liked their parents. The first thing their parents asked us was whether our girls fought with each other. So, we're not the only ones with rowdy little twins. One of their boys had a bite mark on his face that looked quite familiar.

This was exciting for Mark and me to hear, because usually the twin parents that we meet look at us in shock when we mention that our little girls sometimes fight. These parents were very down to earth.
