Silliness

I LOVE silly kids. They are at a really fun age right now. Sam and Julia call Sophie, "Dah-bie." Or sometimes it sounds like Debbie. Our Little Debbie. Anyway, the other day I called her Sophia (we almost always just call her Sophie) and Sam started crawling around rhythmically and saying "Dah-BEE-AH, Dah-BEE-AH..." So cute! He just loves making you laugh. If you so much as smirk at something he does, he just does it more.
He is also a very methodical. Today he was a man with a plan. He made the seat of the ride-on choo choo a little more pleasant with his blanket. He patted the seat and said, "Ju Ju." (Julia). He pushed her around a couple times and then says, "Ju Ju off." It was Sophie's turn. She rode around like a little queen and then, "Dah-bie off." No more rides for you!
Sam loves going down slides. He goes, "weeeeeee!" And whenever he puts something on the slide he'll go, "choo-choo weeee, or dog weeeee, or Ju Ju weeeee!"
Meanwhile Julia went on a little camping trip under the slide/castle thing in our living room. I think it's cute how they really get a goal in mind and must accomplish it. Julia had a pillow under the slide and as she started to crawl underneath, she realized that she didn't have her blanket. So out she went to find "ba" and her bees. Mission accomplished and right back under the slide she went. Not so long ago, she would have gotten distracted by something and went off to play somewhere else. They're just such little people!
I love this picture of Sophie and her beloved "Money." She loves her bunny so much! Sweet little Debbie! So spunky. She is becoming our best talker. Not only does she repeat everything, but she often just tells us what things are. I'm always surprised at what she remembers! Necklaces, umbrellas, and all sorts of things that we don't regularly see.
Check out this mischievous grin on Jules. She knows she's not supposed to be playing with this pumpkin! Julia loves talking on the phone. And you can't just trick her and tell her to pretend she's talking to someone. She really wants you to dial the person of interest. That is if she hasn't dialed herself already.
The kids have just been delightful lately! Just sweet and fun and amazing to watch. They learn things so quickly! New words every day. They're starting to recognize letters. Small sentences even!
