Little sweeties!

This boy has been such a sweetheart with his sister lately. Today before nap time he said "can I read to Rose E?" Then he said "I can read by showing her the pictures" and that is just what he did. The other day too at supper he wanted the last piece of bread so he tore it in half and said "I'm going to share it with Rose E."

It was cute because just out the blue a couple of days ago he said "when I get older I am going to have 72 horses and 4 dogs." I said where are you going to keep all of those animals and he said "I am going to get a barn and in the winter time when it is cold they will live in our house"(imagine that). For some reason he has been into horses for the last couple of months. When he has a hard time falling asleep instead of saying that he is going to think of trains(which he has done for the past two years) he now says I'm going to think about horses. He also now has some pet fish (that are made out of pieces of Popsicle sticks) they live in a pitcher in our bathtub and he periodically checks on them. Yesterday he said "mama can you open the shade in here so that they know it's morning time?"

Hats off (or I should say on and off) to this girl! Such a fashion diva! She also is turning out to be a little copy cat when it comes to her brother. Yesterday I let the kids do some painting, at first she wouldn't put on her smock(thinking it was a "bib") but when she saw her brother wearing his she asked for hers back. Then she started to paint on white paper and when Walter asked for green paper she said she wanted "green paper." To top it off Walter was of course painting train track and mountains and once Rose E heard that she pointed to her painting and said "paint, geo trax."

Adios amigos!
