We are on a 101 Dalmations kick lately. For about a month, this book was all that Josh wanted to read at night. We borrowed the movie from the Meades and Josh loves it. I guess I need to try and find a copy online. They shouldn't be too expensive.

Last night, Shawn started singing "The Name Game" with Josh i.e. Joshy, Joshy Bo Boshy, etc. They went through about everyone we know. Try doing Elizabeth or Suzanne, not easy.

Lots to report! My friend Suzanne had a baby! I got to witness her birth, it was amazing! Their new baby girl is named Sara Elizabeth Moore and she's a sweetie. We went over last night to see her and Josh held her. "She is so 'ittle and she is heavy." he says.

Wil came over to play on Saturday morning and he and Josh did really well together. Josh wanted him to come back on Sunday to play water guns with him. He kept saying, "Wil is coming over to play water with me." Then he wanted to call him last night at about 9:30. Sometimes Wil is awake then, so we gave it a shot. No luck, but he talked to Christine for a few minutes.

When it was almost time for bed, Josh was building me a surprise out of blocks. He yelled at me when it was done and I came and looked. Then we started getting him ready for bed and he told me, "I am the Suprise Man. Suprise Man don't go to bed!"

Here is Josh's rendition of "Jesus Loves Me"
Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bibles tells me sho, 'Ittle ones to him belong, they are weak but He is straw, yeah, Jesus loves me, Yeah Jesus loves me, Yeah Jesus loves me, for the bibles tells me sho. He sang it for Baby Sara last night, he wouldn;t sing it for Suzanne, but when she asked him to sing for the baby, he did. Very cute.

Happy Easter everyone! We had a busy Easter weekend. Saturday morning, we went to the church egg hunt. It rained so we had it inside, which wasn't as exciting as outside, but it was still fun. Elizabeth wanted the pink eggs, so when she and Josh found one together, Josh gave it to her. Chivalry at its finest! Saturday afternoon, we attended a birthday party. We barely missed the tornadic weather that hit that part of town.

Sunday morning, we went to church and decided to go to eat with the Meades. Well, the place where we wanted to eat was closed (we didn't call ahead to check) so we ended up grilling burgers at our house. I personally think that turned out better. The kids got to play more and the adults also played "Boggle". At the end of the visit, Josh and Wil started melting down. It's kind of funny because they need a break from each other, but they don't want to take one. After the Meades left, Josh couldn't find Wil and went into hysterics, "I want Wil! Where's Wil! I need to say bye to Wil!" very sad. But then he realized that G-pa was there and they played ball. We had a really great day yesterday. I am dubbing it "The Meade Linfoot Easter Celebration", Motto "Christine got 'Patina'!"

Aidan and Suzanne came over yesterday afternoon to play for awhile. The boys are doing very well together. We played outside for a bit, it was a nice day. Josh and Aidan played "chase". Josh has been doing better lately at making through a whole day without any major episodes. The late evenings are something else entirely. But yesterday, he and I had a good time together. Then he went to the store with Shawn and did great there too. I hesitate to say that he's growing out of his stubborn stage, but things are more easily controlled now.

Last night, Josh told Shawn, "Could I get a pencil to buy an 'A'?" I'm pretty sure he meant "write" an A, but some times we watch "Wheel of Fortune" and they buy A's all the time...so naturally A's must be purchased.

I forgot to mention that when Josh got back from G-pa's house, he was very excited to see Marcus. "Hi, Marcus, you flop for me. I love you." Flopping means when a cat lays down at your feet to be petted. Marcus only does this for people he likes. He has gotten very used to Josh. I believe that they are pretty good friends.

Josh stayed all night with G-pa and everything went well. I think that they both really enjoyed themselves. Josh talked about sitting on the porch and helping smash cans and watching movies. He's a real sweet boy.

Josh and Daddy did a lot of playing outside this weekend. Josh helped Daddy spray weeds and they played "Kick" which is like soccer to the layman. I also took pictures of them with Mr. Potato Head parts in their mouths. Josh even had the mustache on.

Josh and I went to the playground with "Aunt Shuzanne and Baby Aidan" yesterday. Josh is not shy, he goes up to anyone, old or young and shows them his shoes or tells them "I did this all by myself, I bigger now" etc. Shawn thinks he is going to be a politician, heaven forbid!

Josh is going to spend the night with G-pa tonight. He's excited about it (so are we). I hope he does well at bedtime.

Josh is so sweet. I haven't been feeling well and I told him last night that I was going to lie down for awhile on the couch. "Why, are you slick?" he asked. "Yes, I think so." He climbed up by me and kissed my forehead. "That will make you feel better." It did too.

Another great weekend! My mom and I went out Friday night, so Josh and Shawn spent some time together. Shawn said that they went to McDonald's. Josh ate all his chicken nuggets and told Shawn, "Daddy, I be right back." "Where are you going?" "To get more food." "Wait, you'll need money." So Shawn gave him a dollar and a dime. Josh went up to the counter and Shawn kind of waved to get the lady's attention. "What can I get you?" Josh shoved the money at her. Shawn told him that he had to tell her what he wanted. "Chicken." he whispered. All told, he ate 8 nuggets. Shawn seems to get the best stories.

I forgot to mention that when Josh saw my painted toes he exclaimed, "Mama, you got new toes!"

Suzanne and I spent some quality time together yesterday. We drove to Owasso to get a pedicure. We also had lunch. Then we went to pick up Aidan from Mother's Day Out. He was so cute! Suzanne sometimes doesn't like to go right home after she picks him up, so we went to Target. I needed a few things anyway. But I also gave in to the temptation to buy Aidan something. So we picked out a Bob the Builder towel. He hugged it to him and kept saying, "Bobabiller, Bobabiller" over and over. I hope he enjoys it, because I sure had fun.
