What do You See?

I love those times when Joshua just wants to share everything with Silas.
"Look at those trees Silas!"
"See the water!"
"I wonder of there are any animals out there. Once I saw an otter!"
"What do you see Silas?"

Front Flip

Serious business at gymnastics. Joshua did a front flip on the uneven bars. He was still pretty nervous about the bars but thrilled to have participated! He has come such a long way since the beginning. Although he was apprehensive, the second time came with curiosity followed by pride in his accomplishment.

Overnight

Another big boy step!!!

First overnight in undies. Joshua made it all the way to the morning with dry undies! We were pleasantly surprised and very proud!

Oh Dear!

We've entered the bumps and bruises stage of development. Pulling up on everything, standing up on his own and trying to walk... Rough on his handsome face! I can't say it's my least favorite stage, but it's certainly a tough one!!

At least he can smile about if afterward.

Living in 3D

Michael and I had an impromptu date night.

Joshua and Silas stayed with a friend while Michael and I went to Iron Man 3 in 3D. Michael has never been to a 3D movie so that made it even more fun. It was good.

But best of all we loved the glasses!

When we picked Joshua up he was in miss match jammies, cowboy hat, cowboy boots and he immediately feel asleep in the car.

Chocolate Cookies!

Chocolate graham crackers were a hit with Silas, not so much with the mommy... What a mess!

Flu Epidemic

The flu has hit CTK.

Joshua had the stuffed nose, cough, fever which kept him home from school Monday and Tuesday. I took him on Wednesday and we had a fever by the end of the day. He would have been ready to head back on Friday, but Thursday was down right ugly at school. Of the 40 VPK kids 13 of them were in school. Violent vomit!

I thought we escaped it as we went to bed Friday night, not so much.

Saturday morning I woke up to this sight...
