Hollow Leg

We have found that Joshua has grown an extra hollow leg since the beginning of last week, which also was the major start of the terrible 'two's. In the past several days Joshua has given us a run for our money when it comes to eating AND he has added vegetables back in to his diet. This, to me, is an absolute miracle. I just hope it continues. He was a good eater before his first birthday and then he became VERY picky. So this is a welcome change.

The temper tantrums have given us a number of humorous moments. Including, finding Joshua HANGING off the outside of his crib (by his hands, like a rock climber), listening to him EMPHATICALLY say 'no' to every request, even to things it obviously wants, teaching him to say, 'YESH', well that is how 'yes' comes out. We have to laugh, we'd go insane otherwise :-)

Joshua has also shown a strong interest for being outside. We bought a little jungle gym from our neighbors (ome of the toddler ones) and we have been spending a lot of time outside. We go to the park, go for walks, garden, blow bubbles. He is just happier outside.

Lastly, he is becoming so familiar with a handful of books, that he can 'read' them. He will say the correct words on the correct pages and know what is coming next. He can also identify pages out of order. It is a lot of fun. He also knows which books he would like to read and will look for a specific title.

We can't wait for the warm weather at the end of the week and the melting of the latest snow. We are ready for full blown SPRING!
