Buddies!

Today we had Walter's friend Matthew and his sister Emily over (I used to babysit for Matthew before the girls where born ). They had a good time playing with cars, trucks and trains. When they left Walter said "I had fun playing with Matthew." In the picture with Emily and Rose E, Rose E is looking down saying "no, no" anytime I would bring out the camera before, she would smile and say "cheese" but not lately, little stinker!
The past couple of days have brought a lot of smiles to my face! Yesterday, I had my annual doctors check-up and the kids went to Jeff's grandparents house, anyway, Walter knows that he usually gets a treat when he is there, so when I told him in the morning that he would be going to there house in the afternoon he said "I think I gonna be hungry when I go there." Of course he had just had lunch when he arrived, but that was all he could think about. Yesterday, Rose E wore a dress with flowers on it and I caught Walter sprinkling water from her sippy cup all over it, when I asked him what he was doing he said "she has a garden on her and I watering it." Goof! Speaking of flowers, he has been trying to pick my flowers to bring them inside, anyway, today he picked one and said "can I pick another one" and I said no lets leave them outside for everybody to enjoy and he said "but this one needs a friend." Oh and the picture below is of his "river in our driveway with leaf fish in it," every time I stepped over the wet spots he reminded me to step onto the make-believe bridges. He cracks me up sometimes. Tonight the kids where playing in his bedroom and Rose E walked onto his rug with roads and train tracks and he said "Rose E you giant, get off the car road."
Speaking of cracking up too, Rose E is now laughing at funny things which makes us giggle even more. If Walter is acting goofy or the dog is rolling around she just burst out laughing now, it is so cute. She just loves containers now and is constantly putting toys in and out of them. She is now starting to answer us sometimes too, yesterday I said are you all done and she said "yes" and last night I said say good night to Daddy and she said "good night."
