After finishing dinner, Joshua wanted to play with the Daddy... little did I know what I was getting into! We began by rolling a roll of duct tape, then throwing a ball around. Daddy ended up in his usual spot: sitting on the floor of the family room. Suddenly, out of nowhere, Josh comes barreling towards me with no intention of slowing down... and we collide in a bundle of giggles while rolling on the floor. This turned out to be the highlight - so repeat 25 times: Josh runs back to the kitchen, turns around, yells "GO!" and runs to tackle Dad.
The one time I didn't fall over, Josh made a confused noise and said, "fall over, daddy". It was all planned out...

Always something new!
Joshua continually surprises and amazes us. He learned how to paint on Tuesday and loved it. When daddy came home he showed off his picture and was so proud. He layed it nicely on the table and waited for Jason to look at it.
He has leared to count to 15, I think thanks to Sesame Street! That was out of the blue and fun. He can also sing his ABC's now. Don't ask him to though because he will say, NoOooooo. That is his answer for everything these days. We have both been enjoying the cool nights and mild days of fall with walks, trips to the park, riding the tricycle and just playing outside.
On Wednesday we went to the park and when Jason got home that evening he asked Joshua what he did today. Joshua answered, 'Go to the park.' So Jason asked him if it was fun and Joshua said, 'Had fun riding the slides.' That was a surprise! He has also be trying more foods lately and eating a bit more. He is now 36.5" tall but I wonder if a growth spurt is on the horizon.

Soccer out in the 'burg
Joshua and I enjoyed watching Dylan play a fantastic game of soccer on Saturday. He and his team were great, the really kept the ball in the other team's part of the field and it worked! They won! Go Dylan.
I uploaded a few photos from the game and from the little cousins playing on the sidelines.

The Beach
We just couldn't help ourselves! We took one more little escape to the beach with our friends Ron, Christine, Yanna and Val. It was a whirlwind last minute ie planned Wed left Thursday trip but it was great. Each trip we take Joshua loves the water and beach more and more. By the last day he was saying, 'Go to the Woecean, YEAH!' everytime he saw the water. And he would say, 'Ready... GO!' and run into the surf. Next time we will have a life jacket for him since he no longer has water aversion. He loves the sand, too and spent a lot of time digging in it and bringing buckets of water back and forth.
We told Joshua last week that mommy's belly has a baby inside. He talks about it, 'Be careful of the baby belly' and will come up and point to my belly if you ask him where the baby is. Unfortunately, in true kid form, he tried to generalize this information. And he was pointing to other pudgy bellies and saying, 'Baby Belly.' But alas, all those folks were just a little chunky and not really pregnant. So we then explained that mommy is the only person that has a baby belly. That seems to have solved it for now.
Other cute things, Joshua calls music, 'sugick'. In spite of the mispronounciation, he loves to sing along and dance at every chance he gets. He knows "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star", "Happy Birthday" and "Ring Around the Rosy" to name a few. He even sings to the old 'Pac Man' record that Uncle Josh put on a cd for him. Uncle Josh, you will understand this... he says, 'I am shadow' at the right spot.
It is late and I better close. I try and add more soon!

More visits and plans
Last weekend, brought the arrival of my cousin, Bill. He was out visiting on a business trip and came to our home for the night. You can see the photos of the BBQ that we had on Sunday. It was a fun visit. This week there was not so much new with Joshua. Just mostly our regular schedule. Memaw came to visit and help with projects on Thursday. Godfather Chris came for the evening on Thursday to watch Joshua while we enjoy a small cruise for our anniversary. Jason is home for a long weekend and we are celebrating our anniversary, my birthday and painting the deck, which is in much need of repair.
