This morning Josh wanted to fix his own hair. While I was getting his breakfast, he went into the bathroom. He came out and asked me how it looked. He had big white blotches on either side of his head. I took him into the bathroom to try to wipe some of it off. I looked around for the mousse that I thought he had used. It wasn't on the counter, so I asked him what he had used in his hair. He pointed to Daddy's shave cream! I had to try and rinse out what looked like half a can of shave cream. It was all the way to his scalp. He will have to wash it good tonight.

Josh and I had a great conversation last night about Jesus. I can't be too specific as it was while we were going to bed, but it was along the lines of why Jesus died for us and how we get new bodies. He also wanted to know if our hearts come out with our spirits. He's obviously referring to our literal heart, it's very interesting to listen to his theories in all of his innocence. I think that he's "getting it" though, he will always state emphatically, "I love Jesus!"

Christmas break update: Josh has been showing a lot more interest in Jesus and the Christmas Story. He seems to be figuring the whole thing out lately. I'm very happy about that. He has a CD of "Jesus Music" that he enjoys listening to in the car and I love hearing him sing the praise and worship songs. We started out at home on Christmas morning. We woke Josh up first so that he could open his presents. He got the Spider man stunt system and several other toys that he asked for. When Jensen woke up, he seemed pleased with his toy house that Josh wanted Santa to bring him. Josh was also happy that, "Mrs. Bourne remembered to tell Santa that Jensen wanted a toy house!" Josh had forgotten to ask Santa at the mall for it, so he asked his teacher to mention it to Santa. Shawn had put his gifts for everyone in the tree and asked Josh to distribute them. He gave me my "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Askaban" DVD, he gave Jensen the teething toy, and he opened the magnet car. There were also 2 Hot Wheels in the tree, so he brought those to Shawn. Those of you that know us well, know that Shawn buys a lot of Hot Wheels too.

After presents at home, we went to my mom's to eat dinner and do the gift exchange there. My sister and her family came in from Michigan and my brother came in from Texas. It was great to have all 4 of us for Christmas afternoon. We then travelled to Shawn's mom's house and spent the night there. Josh did not break anything and was VERY well behaved.

Sunday, we went to church and visited my grandpa in the nursing home and drove to my dad's for dinner. We had a great time there as well. Then we came home and Stacey came up on Monday and spent the night with us before leaving for MI again. We had a great time with them.

New Year's Eve was spent with Suzanne, Kevin, Aidan and Sara. We played games and ate and all of our family rang in the New Year, even Jensen.

Shawn took Josh shopping today to get a Hot Wheel that he promised Josh for helping with something. Josh picked out his car first then they did the grocery shopping. Josh saw a bouquet of flowers that he wanted to get for me, Shawn told him that they cost money too, so he would have to put up his Hot Wheel.
"OK"
"OK what Josh?"
"I will put up my Hot Wheel."

Big tears from Mama.
