marching around silly pinguins

We called our girls all sorts of funny names. Lately WY liked to call them little monkeys because they started to walk a lot like us. And believe or not, they wanted to run badly also. However, I thought they walked more like a pinguins. It was easier to maintain balance to spread out the distance of the two feet. So, instead of walking like us adult, toes pointing straight ahead at the direction we were heading to, the girls would point their toes 45 degree outwards with two legs spacing half foot out. Their little steps were only about a size of their feet. They did quick steps just like the pinguins. Ohh, with their big and round bellies, and liking to flap their arms, how could you not think about pinguins when you saw them walk?!

They marched around the house to investigate what was going on other than their play house and cars. They loved to go into the "forbiden" rooms - our bedroom and the bathrooms. Those rooms were not child proof and they got themselves in trouble easily. There was one time when both of them invaded the bathroom while I was washing my hands. I caught HY first because she was leading the invasion. I relocated her to the living room and turned back for EY. I thought EY would wander around her bath toys but she didn't. She was all the way at the end of the bath room where the toilet tissue holder was. Of course, you could imagine. She managed to unroll half roll of the toilet paper in less than 30 seconds. She did make a nice pile on the floor though.

Those silly pinguins wanted to run also but every time they tried, they fell. Need more practice. Then, I really need to run after them :-)
