It has been too long since I've posted about Joshua---so let me explain---no there is too much, let me sum up......

We had a great summer and Josh, Jensen and myself were lazy slugs. Josh and I loved to stay up late and play on the computer, then everyone (but Shawn boo-hoo) slept in. Most mornings until 10. School really cramped our style.

Josh turned 6 this summer and has lost his two lower middle teeth. They are almost already grown in as well. I was looking forward to a toothless picture this fall. Oh well.

Josh is enjoying first grade and is becoming quite a little reader and speller. If he takes his time, he does very well. He made a 100 percent on his second spelling test. Missed 2 on the first one, but since he really didn't understand the semantics of spelling tests (even though I tried to explain them) we are not too overwrought with that.

Josh is still my cuddly little boy and also loves to snuggle with Jensen. I found them watching Spongebob together one night. Josh had Jensen on his lap and was reclining against the arm of the sofa. They were content and very quiet until Josh had to get up to use the restroom. Then Jensen wouldn't settle back down with him.

My favorite funny story of the summer...
I was getting exasperated with the bedtime ritual and when Josh interrupted the diaper change yet again (Jensen won't lie still to get changed when Josh is messing with him.. big surprise) I kind of smacked Josh on the head with a clean diaper. He says, "Mama you are in some kind of nude tonight!" Let me point out that Shawn was in the room as well. I said, "What?" "You know a good nude, a sad nude, a happy nude.. a nude." Well, we could not contain the laughter then. I just love his little mispronunciations, he's growing out of them too quickly.
