We had a great time yesterday at church and then last night at church! Josh and the Meade twins have not seen each other in quite awhile. So they were thrilled to see each other. Redeemer gave Sean a reception yesterday after church, cookies, punch, etc. and Josh and Wil had a great time. Christine was wanting a picture of our family for her scrapbook and the boys didn't want to stop playing Buzz Lightyear long enough for Josh to take one. So, Wil got in the picture with us. Then, sadly it was time to go. Wil wanted to "go home with Dosh". We (Christine) convinced him that we were going to see each other later that day and have ice cream. Instead, we all ended up going out to eat together. We sat off by ourselves, so the kids sat together and the adults got to have our own table! Yippee!

On a sadder note, my team lost yesterday. But now at least I can relax and enjoy the rest of the tournament without worrying what will be best for OU.

Josh and I had a really good day yesterday. We did some driving and he was very patient during that, he watched "Buzz Lightyear of Star Command". I got to enjoy the laser sound effects from the front seat. Then, when we were almost done, he falls asleep. One minute he is messing with his seat and whining about something, and then I turn around to check on him, and he's out. We went to the mall to eat dinner and have some ice cream. We had Dairy Queen cones. Josh got his very own ice cream cone. He looks great with vanilla on his nose. We also got him some shoes. He got a pair of tennis shoes, with velcro lacings, and sandals. He's not thrilled with the sandals now, but if it's anything like last summer, he'll like them later. He loves his tennis shoes though. He can put them on by himself and "get the rocks out like Joshy Turnbull" I can only guess what that means.

Josh loves "It's Still Rock-n-Roll to Me" by Billy Joel, aka "RocknRoll Song". He wants to listen to it over and over again. He only knows a few of the words, but what he knows, he belts out. This song has temporarily replaced "Holdyouhand song". He'll tell me, "This is Billy Joe, holdyouhand song is The Beatles".

Josh got to spend some time on Saturday with G-pa and Nana, he was so excited to see them that he just kept laughing. It was like he didn't know what to do first. He brought all THREE of his lightsabers over so he showed them those. They all played lightsabers together. He now has a blue one, so he gets to be Obi-Wan. I'm tired of being "Jedi", no name or anything, just Jedi.

Where to start? I haven't been on as much, but I hope to get better. Last night, Josh talked to G-pa for the first time since they've been away. They are home now, so Josh gets on the phone and he says, "Sorry I broke you choo choo train movie." Then I hear, "Zarizona? What you do that for in Zarizona?" Then, he gives me the phone. I gave it to Shawn and Shawn had to translate that Josh broke a movie and we fixed it and we hope it works. Then Josh wanted to talk a minute more. He got on the phone and said, "I miss you, G-pa" Shawn talked some more to verify that we didn't put him up to that and G-pa said "He really knows how to kill a guy."

Josh has been into Scooby Doo lately. He has a couple of movies and he really likes them. But they get a little intense and he wants me there to watch with him. I enjoy Scooby Doo, so it's OK. Better than "The Wiggles".

Last night, Shawn and Josh were playing lightsabers. It was pretty fun to watch. Josh came over and told me to say "On your mark, get set, go". When I said "on your mark" he whipped open his lightsaber so seriously like he was duelling with Darth Maul. Then of course, things got out of hand and Josh got whacked on the head. Typical.

I've had a lot of alone time with Josh this weekend. Most of it was fun, some of it was not. The things that I would like him to do for hours (play quietly by himself with his trains or blocks) he won't do. The things he'll do for hours, I don't want to do, like play swords or lightsabers or chase him. I like to play for awhile, but he could play all day.

He has begun to like "Lord of the Rings" he especially enjoys Frodo. He'll say, "Frodo, mama, he has feet! That's funny!" Hobbits have big hairy feet, for those of you that don't know. He also enjoys Legolas and his amazing proficiency with the bow. I don't think he likes him as much as his mama does though.

It's been awhile, I don't have the access to a fast computer like I once did. Anyway, last weekend, March 2, we went to the city to see Elton John and Billy Joel in concert. It was fantastic! Josh stayed with Grammie while we were gone. He had a good time as Grammie spoiled him. She bought his favorite snacks and let him play on the computer. He got to watch his videos and eat Skittles. We didn't get home until 2:00 am!
