Mama's little stinkers!

These kids have sure been having a ball with balls lately! Walter requested that I bring another ball toy out today and they had a good time with it. I just love it when there are toys that keep them both entertained. This evening we had a nice outing as we walked to a restaurant and then continued our walk thereafter. Walter directed traffic again (our route). He notices so much on those walks and talks about everything! Today he noticed a pile of logs on the side of a building. This was really upsetting to him, he said "mama I just want those logs standing back up into trees, not used for camping (we read a book today where the Bernstein Bears camped). I have also noticed him using bigger words lately too. His newest one is "fascinated" according to him Rose E is "fascinated" with just about everything. He also heard me say the word "commotion" so then on our walk when dogs where barking he said "we caused a doggy commotion." He has started to notice ant hills too, I was surprised at how many we spotted. Sometimes he, well I should say they because Rose E signs and talks about things I wouldn't have noticed too is more observant than me. I also had to chuckle to myself because earlier today I got kicked out of the house for awhile as he and Jeff worked on something for Mother's day, anyway when I returned Jeff said "now remember it's a secret don't tell Mama where it is" then he said back to Jeff "it's in lightning (his car)" Jeff said "uh oh I think you have to find a new hiding spot." I said "don't worry I won't peak." So precious!
I think we finally have a sock solution for Rose E. Jeff's mom found some 100% organic cotton ones from the Internet and so far so good. We weren't' sure because the elastic is wrapped in cotton but so far no break outs. The only downfall is that they are a bit on the pricey side but hey at this point I don't care I just need something to cover up those little toesies! Now that we have carpeting on our steps she is a little speedy Gonzalos! Twice today we turned around for 2 seconds and wham there she was halfway up the steps! Anyway, the second time she did it I ran up there and said "you stinker" and she repeated "you stinker!" She also said "street" and learned how to sign horse and boat.
