Copy cats

Walter was so proud of himself today as for her learned how to look at his trains and copy what they look like. It was cute to watch as he carefully matched the crayons to the different locomotives that he drew to make sure they where the right color. It is kinda hard to see but he drew this train and then wrote Santa Fe underneath it too. He has been really making progress with his letters also. He recognizes most of them along with the sounds, it is so exciting for the both of us. I love to see that he wants to now copy words and label his pictures too.

This has been one of Rose E's most favorite toys the past couple of weeks, she hauls it all over our house and loves to put the people and animals on top of the ark as well into the little openings. This little girl is also getting known for handing out toys in this house. Often times she is passing them out left and right to Jeff and I and one of her famous lines while I am cooking is "uh oh baby crying" and I have to hold this doll wrapped up in a blanket throughout my food preparation time (it wasn't that long ago when it was her that I was holding)!

This was Rose E's artwork of choice today, she decided that the stickers would look much better in her hair than in her sticker book!

It is just amazing the things that she has been saying lately, she especially says a lot of phrases that Walter says, one of them that she has just started to say is "no thank you"when she doesn't want something. Yesterday it was cute too because we where looking at a Thomas website on the computer (with activities and movies) and there was a Thomas room make-over on it. Anyway, we clicked on it to see them makeover this room with all Thomas decor for a little boy and when he walked into his newly decorated room Rose E said "say thank you."
