More "Joshua-isms"

Our spirited little Joshua has said so many funny/amazing things over the last several weeks and my mom keeps reminding me to write them down- so here it is for documentation and giggles!

Joshua came running from the kitchen into the living room last week yelling, "Mom the fly is not working!, the fly is not working!", after following him to the place- there surely was a dead fly there. Too cute.

Joshua is my bug catcher (the dead ones) he picks them up with a paper towel and throws them in the trash for me! He gets a kick out of me acting all disgusted by the bugs (which I actually am)

I was scolding Joshua for something not to long ago, and in the midst of my little lecture he yelled right into my face, "Happy Birthday To You!" I  had to laugh at his really good attempt to change the subject!

Speaking of birthdays- he is obsessed with them! He can sing the Happy Birthday Song really well and LOVES birthday cake/candles, etc. His 3rd birthday this July should be really fun!

One morning we had some scattered clouds in the sky, and he acted concerned and said, "Mom, the sky is broken." So- we had a little lesson on clouds!

He is communicating so well right now in complete sentences, and sweetly asks me all the time, "Mom, are you okay?" (I think we ask him that a lot) He also asks me if I'm awake, or sick, or tired. It's so sweet. 

He loves to play with friends, and asks to play with them in his sandbox.

He knows all of his colors, most of his letters, and a lot of shapes- most surprising to me are shapes like cones, cubes.  (Thank you Starfall.com)

He really likes to be read to, which makes me really happy! He knows many of his books so well if we leave words/phrases out he can complete them.

He still pinches skin (particularly elbows) to comfort himself or when he's tired.

WE LOVE OUR SWEET JOSHUA!  Sorry it this seemed like a bragging post- but I have to document his progress or I'll forget!

We absolutely love Joshua and his little mannerisms we read this post to Brinley so that she could get to know her cousin a little more, since he will be the one along with Chase and Benjamin getting her into trouble! We love you guys so much can't wait to see you this summer keep us posted some more on those cute boys.

Brag all you want - we love to hear his progress! Just so you know, it's a little unfair that clouds are so uncommon that your child is actually surprised to see them! :) I can't wait to see that little guy again!

That's a lovely list! It's the kind of list I make in my head, and think "of course I'll always remember these memorable things" and then ...i don't. Keep sharing!
