We had a 57 degree day today! Woohoo a sign of hope after all. I took the kids for a long walk this afternoon, Walter was on the hunt for tracks made out of mud and snow and was able to find quite a few (bunny, dog, people, cars, etc.) while Rose E was on the hunt for squirrels but didn't see any. Walter also has been very interested in road signs lately so we had to stop at everyone and have an in depth discussion about it. He is getting to know what a lot of them say or mean. When we got home we ventured out to our burried "playground" in our yard. Walter's swing was still too buried and the slide still had snow coming up it but Rose E was able to get a push in hers. As long as I was in front of her where she could see me she was thrilled! She is turning into our little chatter box! She is saying "shoe," "egg," "eye" "whats that", "Walter","hi", Daddy" and lots more now. Both kids have been into singing too. Walter likes to make-up his own songs especially ones about trains. Rose E has been doing the motions and trying to sing lullabies. Although, a few days ago I heard her singing to herself "la la la la".
I also decided to add this picture of Walter. This morning we helped him set-up this race car puzzle and boy did he ever have lots of fun playing with it! He had a car for himself, a car for me and then vehicles that belonged to people who weren't here. The other race cars where Cale and Kirsten's (his cousins), Uncle Matt drove the firetruck, Papa drove the ambulance, and Auntie Jenny drove the tow truck. Then he would come up with different situations such as a broken battery during a race and these people all came to his rescue. It was very cute. This boy has quite the imagination! When we where all done playing he said "mama you happy?"(he has been talking about feelings lately after listening to a story at story hour about feelings at the library, I have to smile because now when he gets in trouble he will say "mama me sorry me not want mama to be angry!")
