Joshua-Isms

Joshua has said some really funny things lately- and my family always tells me I need to write them down- so here a few I can remember.

"Mom, you smell like dog." (after I had told him that earlier in the day after he helped bathe the dog with daddy."

"Mom you are really heavy." (thanks Joshua!)

To Mike the other night as he was putting him to bed, "Daddy, lay down by yourself, with me."

He often tells us things are "too dangerous."

He often ends up in bed with us in the middle of the night- and in the morning he wakes up and says, "Smile mom!"

He does several jobs on his own now including dressing himself, and feeding the dog!  He also loves to help with dishes and laundry. I'm sure that will change:P

"You're not my mother, you're a girl!"

He tends to be shy around new people or large groups of people.

He has so much energy! I wish I could tap into some of it!

He keeps me on my toes all the time. He is so bright and picks up on things and remembers them upon hearing them just once! He also remembers things that have happened very well- and often reminds me of the time I took a wrong turn on the way to church.

He was out playing in his car the other day and asked, " Mom, should I turn right, or the wrong way?"

He gives lots of hugs and tells us he loves us all the time, and told me today, "Mom, I know you love me." It melted my heart.

Joshua is such a sweet, bright, energetic boy and we are so glad he is ours!
