At our house, on a March Sunday, after being parted from each other all winter, the grandkids came in like lambs, and after seeing all the toys, felt the surge to reacquaint, and romped like sibling lions at play!
We'll start with Ainsley, she'll be two in two months. This little imp of a girl is small boned, with the prettiest fine featured face, and is easy going...mostly. I say imp because I have seen her rush in from the kitchen, grab toys right out of Alayna's hands and grin as Alayna, in a fit of indignity, gets up to chase after her!
At this time Ainsley has 2 baby dolls in one stroller, happily playing on her own.
Her daddy has acquired one of the kids hand-puppets, a green dinosaur head. With its open mouth he's growling and biting to tease the kids. Clint said it first, when he caught sight of what Daddy and Ainsley were doing, lots of chewing, and dino-roars, and full on laughter!
Clint said of Ainsley, "It's the baby feeding a baby to a dinosaur!"

A few months ago, Noelle turned 3. She is a talker and speaks comprehensively, but boy, is she dutchy!
In the backseat of our silver Dodge Ram SXT, she sits in a blue car seat next to the window, driver's side. Because she wants to talk and we can't understand her, I tried to distract her by saying, "Look out the window and find me 3 things, a cow, a garden tractor, and a dog."
Immediately I saw two women walking a black spotted dog and we were going to drive right by them so I figured she would see the trio.
I asked, "Do you see the dog?"
Noelle answered, and I could actually make it out, "I wooking for a pen-guin."
And then we burst out laughing because after a little pause, she added,
"I pway I spy wiff my wittle eyes."
