Mama's little monkeys!

I've found that the simplest little things can entertain for hours! Today after Rose E was all done eating, (as you can see in the picture she has rice cereal all over her face) I had to work on lunch for Walter, so I stuck a small spoon inside this empty container and she had a blast drumming on it and shaking it. Walter on the other hand, kept saying "Mama that garbage that not for Rose E to play with." He can't understand why I give her spoons and measuring cups to play with too. He'll laugh and say " Mama that for eating with not for playing!" Funny thing is it doesn't seem like that long ago when he was entertained with these things too!

This little girl is just talking-up a storm! She has been waking-up saying "Mama?!?" Also, Jeff had to work tonight, so I brought her with to story hour and she asked "wheres Daddy?" Then later in the evening when Jeff came home he was taking off his tie and she said "whats that Daddy?" He said "a tie" then she repeated "tie." Earlier today too, I was singing 5 little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed with them, Rose E was having a good old time jumping as I held onto her and then when the song was all done she said "jump" (asking to do it all over again).

Walter found his entertainment in some pretend tools today. Mr. fix it said that we had a major problem that there was "a crack in the track" in our kitchen and dining room so he had to use a whole array of tools to fix it. Which reminds me, if there is anything that I struggle with during the day such as something that I can't open he'll say "mama Daddy will fix it when he gets home."

He also surprised me today as he came up to me and said "hey Mama, house rhymes with louse." Then I would say a word and he would make-up something that rhymed with it. These kids just amaze me!
