Funny Kids

Today Eliana and William were being very adorable.  First, Eliana, William and I were playing a new game.  We sat in a triangle and rolled/bounced a large ball back and forth.  William LOVED this game.  He was so cute reaching out for the ball wherever it went.  If you had the ball, he would face you and raise both his arms with a huge smile on his face, like he was waiting for you to throw the ball so he could catch it.  The he would attempt to throw it back.  Mostly he would throw it on his foot and it would ricochet off in any direction.  A boy and his ball.  Who could be happier?

David had to work tonight, and as he left for work, it was pouring down rain.  Eliana stood for a long time looking out the door watching the rain fall.  Then she said that she was going to pretend to go to work too.  So she put on her rain coat and sat on the couch "washing" her stuffed animals with a toothbrush and washcloth.  It was such a cute and comical sight, to see her just sitting in her raincoat on the couch just scrubbing, scrubbing, scrubbing at her kitty cat.

I love those kids!  And here are some unrelated pictures, but I added them just in case you forgot what William and Eliana look like:

Eliana was sitting in William's rocking chair and asked if he could sit with her.  They actually did fairly well together.

On this day we were checking out a new park called Oxford Park.  Eliana met another girl there who had a baby doll, and they became immediate friends.  They even hugged when the little girl had to go home.  This was our water break on the bench.
