I am pleased to report that Joshua was excited about starting school this week. We went to meet his teacher on Friday and she is very sweet. When we got back in the van, Josh said, "Mom, I hate to say this, but I'm a little bit excited about going to school." Not sure why he hated to say it, I was thrilled to hear it.

The first day was good and I hope to post pictures soon. He did announce that the work is hard. I reminded him to take his time and think about each word or math problem, and it won't be so tough. He always does better when he doesn't rush through it. Isn't that true for almost everything in life?

Josh lost his first top tooth Saturday morning. The new one is already coming through! I'm thinking that he'll have to get some pulled to make room for new teeth. They are so slow to loosen up and fall out. I will NOT mention my fears to him until the dentist confirms my suspicions. But I had to have that done and I avoided braces, that may be unrelated though.

He had a great birthday though. We had it at a local swimming pool and there was almost no one else swimming that day. He had several friends from church and some really good friends/family come to the party. His cake was very cute, provided by Uncle Ryan and he got a lot of Bionicles!
