Yeah, it's finally May!

Yeah it's May! Tonight on our walk I saw my first Daffodil, it must mean spring (weather) is just about here! I thought I would add this picture of the bird at our window feeder too. The past couple of weeks we have seen a lot more different kinds of birds coming to it. The kids just love it (in fact yesterday Rose E looked at it and saw a bird and said excitedly "birdie"). Walter has been into it too. Whenever we see a different kind he will say "mama what kind of bird is that?" If I say I don't know, he will say "we must look it up in Mama's bird book." It has been a fun learning experience for us all. Speaking of spring things, Rose E learned a new sign today too, butterfly. When I used to teach Head Start every year we would raise caterpillars into butterflies, I have been thinking about doing that with Walter too, so it has been a topic of conversation lately.





Walter was also really into his silly putty and play doh today. He made all kinds of creations from tight ropes (he saw one in a Curious George book) to roads to bats. Rose E on the other hand was all into a box. I showed her how to put a toy inside of it and she spent a long time opening it, putting toys into it and then taking them out. Walter also played a lot with his toy airplanes. I had to laugh because he was flying them in his hands and saying "shooooo shooooo" then he gave one to Rose E and she did the same thing with the sounds and everything! Rose E also gave a toy to Jeff this evening and said "here take it"! Earlier too before her nap she said "read, read, read!" She just blows me away sometimes!





I also posted a few pictures of these sleepy heads. Rose E thought she would try to take a nap on Walter's Chevy and Chevy tried to take a nap of his own!






















Last but not least, as you can see the in the picture this meeting has officially been declared over by the little Miss Rose E herself!
