See?

Yesterday Walter and his cousins Kirsten and Cale went to this summer literacy program and they had lots of fun listening to a story,singing songs, making strawberry shortcake, painting bear prints, playing with playdoh and playing with toys. In the picture they where all wearing disguise glasses that tied in with the story they heard. Kirsten, Cale and Walter are sitting in the back row. Then tonight we had story hour and on our way there Walter saw that big tall chimney at the school and again said "mama I doing mine eye thing because I don't want the smokestack to look at me" so I said "Walter it doesn't have any eyes and it can't hurt you" so then on the way out he played it cool and waved to it as we where leaving. What a goof. He has also been telling any kid who will listen to him all about mining buildings too (they must not be so scary anymore). This morning when Jeff was ready to leave for work Walter got really sad and said I want to go with you, so he was Daddy's little helper all day long. It was cute though because when he came home he said "mama I missed you all day long." Of course Daddy spoiled him too as for he came home with all kinds of goodies they found at the hardware store.
Rose E has been a little hoot! As you can see in the picture she has found a new friend. She was carrying it all over the place. She would even hug it and pat it on the back. Today she was touching her toes and she said "feet" then she touched her eyes and said "see?" She also tried to sing "twinkle, twinkle little star" and was excited to sign to daddy this evening that she just had a bath. Oh and her new signs have been elephant and stop. She learned how to sign stop when she is all done swinging on her swing. I get a kick out of her in her swing too because I have been teaching Walter to pump his legs while swinging and now sometimes she will do it too! She has also learned how to climb up the steps and go down the slide which of course is a huge thrill for her!
