On Saturday, Josh got to go to Joshy Turnbull's house for the evening. We had a dinner to go to and he has been after us to see him. He had a great time and was very good, until we showed up. Then he got rowdy and didn't want to go home. We're going to have Joshy over to spend the night soon, so hopefully that will help. He enjoys his big school, but I think he misses some of his friend from daycare.

We had our first Parent-Teacher conference yesterday and all went well. She went over the results of his screening and he scored a 64 out of 86. Which she said is very high for a 4 year old. There were some questions that we felt he answered correctly that she didn't, but we're not going to start that nit picky parent thing yet. The funniest thing was when she asked him what he used his senses for, his answers were great.
Mouth - toothbrush
Eyes - eyedrops
Ears - picking
Nose - picking boogers
Fingers - clipping

We knew exactly where he was getting his answers. Some of them are obvious, but here are the explanations for the others. Shawn puts eyedrops in his eyes every night, Josh witnesses this frequently. I am the culprit for the ears, I cannot stand to have wax hanging out of his ears and I clean them. We also clip his nails quite a bit. We really thought that those were good answers. We also could not stop laughing. He knows the "correct" answers now.

I had another OB appointment yesterday. On our way into the Dr.'s office, I tripped stepping off the curb and after many less than graceful attempts to keep my balance, I fell. During my stumbling, Josh was screaming "Mama" over and over. If it hadn't been that he was so scared, it would have been really sweet that he was so concerned. A couple of women that were leaving the building heard him and looked back at me. I reassured them and Josh that I was OK and I limped into the building. It was more embarrassing than anything else. I was thoroughly checked out by both nurses and the doctor and the baby is fine. My knee, however, hurts like @!#*&!.

We got to talk to the Meades again last night. Josh really wanted to speak with Elizabeth. They were the cutest! Josh told her that he goes to Big School and asked her if she would sing with him. They sang ABC and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. It's hard for them to hear each other on cell phones, so they kept saying, "What you say?" Josh got tickled at that. It's so hard that they live so far away.
