Hungry eyes, nose and toes

Today Walter paid his first visit to a dentist office. I had my teeth cleaned and he sat with Jeff and watched. Next week it will be his turn, well see how that goes! Ever since we started to use toothpaste he is sensitive about brushings teeth (afraid he is going to gag) and signs stop about 10 times in a one minute brushing session when it is my turn to brush his teeth. He was good in the dentist office but I had to laugh to myself because anytime the dentist or hygienist talked to him he would either cover his eyes with his hands or his mouth with his hands our both.
He also said a few cute expressions today. First of all, he wanted a snack so he said "mama my eyes, and my nose and my toes say I hungry." Speaking of eating, tonight while I was making supper he was really tired (this boy doesn't sleep enough, he often struggles with falling asleep (playing, reading and asking to get a drink and use his potty before going to bed) and no matter what time he falls asleep he is up at the same time every morning) so as a special treat and some wind down time I let him put a movie on. Anyway, he was waiting for all of the advertisement to be done and he said "come on t.v you can do it." Sometimes his way of wording things just makes me smile. After his bath tonight too he noticed his hair was wet and said "mama I have water on my head!"
Rose E was cute tonight too as Jeff was talking to his brother on the phone she picked up her toy telephone and walked around with it pushed up to her ear saying "daddy." Her new words today where "oh no," "yes" and "gate." She also learned how to sign washing hands and had fun playing at Great Grandma's house today while we where at the dentist appointment.
