Crazy Fun

That's how Ken's described Rawly these last few days.  To be quite honest, he's been a bit of a show off right before bedtime.  With the time difference, we usually are able to catch people on Skype just before he goes off into dreamland--which means one of two things, A) he's sleepy and a bit grouchy or B) he's giddy with having an audience.  The other night he was playing a game with Mimi and Papa (Ken's parents) where he'd run up four steps and then back up to the wall as if he were saying, "Ha!  I gotcha, you thought that I was going to run all the way to you..."  This game could have gone on and on if Momma Bear hadn't made her darling cub brush his teeth.  Let's just say the giddiness ended.
Sunday, our friend Holly came up with a new word.  "inqusiosity" the combination you can guess comes from Rawly's inquisitive and curious nature, hence the definition: Rawly.
He's also taken to being very helpful around the house...he LOVES taking the trash out, helping with cooking and doing dishes, Sunday he followed Ken around dusting with his own rag, and even more than he enjoys putting shoes away, is his love for giving you your shoes so that you can go outside to play.
Tonight Rawls caught one of his first ball games (on TV,) well at least the first that he was conscience of.  He threw his hands up in the air and yelled--you guessed it again--"BALL!"  But my favorite was when there was "snow" on TV and he kept grabbing at it and throwing it off of the TV over and over again.
I was scolded again for not having more pictures of Rawly on Facebook.  I apologize.  In truth, I enjoy reading blogs more than seeing pictures, but here's an attempt to catch you up on the last two months and appease both kinds of people...
March and April:

"This is how sad I am."

Two minutes later..."Now I'm fine, I have my boots"
