Satafford - 17 months

Stafford can now say, "No, no, no," which is usually only spoken when I'm dragging him away from something.

He also says, "Bome." He does this usually when his toys are bouncing off something or when he is poking someone.

He also loves horses. He loves toting his three toy horses around.

Cat Breath

Stafford LOVES cat or dog food of any kind. It really is bizarre. He will sneak over to the cat dish, turn his head to see if anyone is watching his transgression and if we are and start running over to him to stop him he shoves his finger in as fast as he can and tried to get it in his mouth. Now, if we get there before he can get it into his mouth or even get his hands on it, oh the devastated cry we will hear. He will eat the stinky wet kind too. One day he came into the living room and I smelled cat food. I followed the smell right to Stafford's little lips. GROSS! But that little guy thinks it is delectable and will be heard saying, "Mmmmm."

Warrick

Warric ate a peach in a bowl and then wanted another peach with a new bowl. I explained to hime that if he got another bowl then that would make more dishes for me to clean. He said, "That's okay, it will make you stronger." I have told him that hard work is good for him. I guess he figures it is good for me too.

Sister Wells stopped us in the hall of church today and said she would miss out kids so much. She said that Warrick is kind of the mascot of the neighborhood. She said that no party at any house in the neighborhood is a hit without him. It is true that he floats from one house to the next and basks in the attention they all give him. He also has a nose for when one of the houses is hosting a party and somehow he gets right in the thick of things. When the Wells had a family reunion he was ther playing with all the cousins. One of the aunts just couldn't figure out which sibling of hers he belonged to.
