Yesterday, Josh and I had a great day! We needed to do some shopping so we went to the mall. He was very good while I shopped for his Easter clothing and while I looked around a bit. We ate lunch and then went to ride the "horsies"! Our mall has a carousel in it. We've ridden it before, but this time he just laughed and laughed the whole time. He would wave to people and tell them "Bye" as he passed. He looked up at the mechanism and said "Up and then down". The Easter Bunny was close by, so after the ride we went to see him "her?". He didn't want to get too close, but he waved and told him "You fuzzy"! He fell asleep on the way home with his new "Tungassies" (sunglasses) on. What an awesome day!

This morning on our way to school, it was cold in the car. Josh could see his breath, "Look, moke!".

Some fun things that happened this weekend. Josh and I watched Peter Pan on Friday night, of course Pan and Hook have "lightsavers" instead of swords. But the best part is that every time the crocodile comes on, Josh says, "Mama, dot-do-dile will biteyoume!". Very cute. Then on our way back from church, where we had a ground breaking ceremony and Josh definitely broke lots of ground, he kept saying, in this little soft, high pitched voice, "Mama, you alright?" "Yeah, baby I'm alright, are you alright?", "I alright, you sad?" "No, I'm not sad, are you sad?", "No, fish toy sad." Which I have no idea what that means, because when I ask him which fish toy, he says, "Huh?"

Josh and I drive the same way to his school every day. Every morning and evening he has to stop and wave at the flamingos (plastic) that are on a lawn in the neighborhood. But he does realize that they are "Pah-tend famingos". He is learning how to joke. When we look at his picture books, he will name things correctly at first and then he will start calling all the animals cows for example and then laugh hysterically. Then he'll say "I affing (laughing) Mama."

We also have a game where he'll say "Marcus (our cat) is so cute." and I'll say "You're so cute", "No you so cute". Then we do sweet, precious, special, smart, etc. He is such a blast!

Last night, 3/19, Josh decided to put me to bed. I had to lay down on the couch while he "took out contacts, brush teeth, eyedrops" He mimicked Shawn getting ready for bed. Then he came over and patted me. He is such a sweet boy.

Hi everyone! We are new to blogging so there might be some past information. Hopefully we'll be able to keep up daily. Joshua is now 2 and a half and enjoys being a boy! He loves to play "lightsaver" with anyone who will play and with anything, newspapers, sticks, rulers, etc. His favorite movies are Blue's Clues, VeggieTales, Bambi, and Star Wars Episode I, The Phantom Menace. Who knows why, but being a Star Wars geek myself, I'm so proud. He and his daddy had a great night on Friday, they went to the Auto Show and out to eat. While eating, Josh turned to some kids sitting behind him, tapped Shawn's shoulder and said, "My Daddy". I don't know how Shawn kept it together.
