Today, Joshua gets a post all his own!
Joshua Jace, I am just amazed at the little boy you have become at 2 1/2 years old! You are a complete HAM! You have always loved to make us laugh, and will do pretty much anything to accomplish that! You especially love your new-found talent of making Luke burst into a fit of giggles.
You have more energy than any other child I have ever met. You go CRAZY if we are inside too long. You run, run, RUN all day, and definitely prefer to do so outdoors (Momma prefers this, too, haha!). You sometimes get incredibly hyper, and we have to remind you and find ways to help you "settle down."
You are such a little smarty-pants. You know way more than we give you credit for! You are always trying to find ways to outsmart Momma and Daddy, and much as I hate to admit it, you are often successful!
We recently started playing this game where we pick a category and then we list as many items we can think of in that category. You are SO GOOD at this! For example, if the category is "animals," you will list every single animal you can think of, without repeating any! We have also done the following categories: vehicles, colors, and foods! This is a great way to pass time in the car on long road trips!
You LOVE to sing (wonder where you get that from?!?!) and lately you have been belting out the lyrics to "Sweet Home Alabama" and "Hakuna Matata" all day long.
Some recent Joshua-isms that have just cracked us up:
*Joshua toots*
Grandma Harthoorn: Joshua, what was that?
Joshua: FIREWORKS!
Checking out at Wal-Mart.
Joshua, to the cashier: Well, hello. How are you doing today?
Helping Momma put the laundry into the dryer. Joshua falls and bonks his head on the dryer.
Joshua, while rubbing the sore spot on his head: What the heck? (We did sit down and talk about that we don't say "heck," and afterwards Momma snuck into the other room for a quick chuckle...)
Recently, any time Momma changes Luke's diaper.
Joshua: EEEWWW, GROSS Lukey!
At Arby's, getting ready to order.
Joshua walks right up to the counter, grins at the cashier and says: I want chicken, green beans and chocolate milk!
While you are still obsessed with Disney's Cars and all things "Lightning McQueen," you have recently started loving Toy Story and Buzz Lightyear and Woody as well. You take your little Buzz and Woody toys and act out scenes from the movies...so cute!
You LOVE to be a big helper around the house. You go around looking for scraps of paper, pieces of lint, anything you can throw into the garbage can. And after you help with something, you always say, "I'm such a good helper!" Hehehe.
This is one of my favorite recent pics of you...you have the prettiest eyes! Yes, I am your Momma, and I can say that your eyes are pretty! Deal with it! ;-)
Love you, our big boy!
