Josh loves being outside "helping"Morgan hanging out with Halle. They love each other. Thank you Kaity for watching the kids while we got stuff done!

Our "Poopy" Party

If you get offended easily - don't read this - but this is what real life is all about!!

The other morning Josh insisted on wearing "big boy pants." He had found some Buzz Lightyear pants in his drawer. So, we put them on. He got on the toilet to try a couple of times and stayed dry for a couple of hours. Then, he came running naked to me and yelling, "Mom, hurry, I need you. I need a diaper, hurry!" He layed a diaper on the floor and layed on it. I could tell he needed to go, so I put him on the toilet. Wouldn't do it - yelling for his diaper on. I told him we were going to play a game and put some Fruit Loops in the toilet and told him to try to hit them. He did - no problem. He immediately wanted to call Pat and tell him that he now got to go to Chuck-N-Cheese (Chuckee Cheese- we have promised for months that if he pooped on the toilet we would go). Later when we went to Pat's work Josh announced to all of Pat's coworkers that he had "bounced" a big poop off the Fruit Loops and now gets to go to Chuck-N-Cheese. We went that night!

Daily life...

The other morning I heard Josh talking in his room so I went to see what he was doing.

I peeked in and he didn't see me so I grabbed the camera.

He had opened his blinds, grabbed his hat and

he was leaning against his bed reading his book out loud.

Josh loves his little sister

And SHE loves HIM - He gets lots of smiles and laughs

We are seeing a lot of smiles lately - so much fun!!

Easter

It's only taken me a month, but here is our Easter!
We started the holiday a week early with an Easter egg hunt and dinner at Max & Christine's.

The Friday before Easter Josh dyed easter eggs with his cousins Paige and Kayla.

It was his first time and he thought it was pretty great!Then we went to a hunt at the park Saturday morning. Josh was a little too considerate.

Morgan had a great morning nap at the hunt.

At the gate leaving the park they gave each kid a stuffed animal.

These aren't really that big, but they are the same size as Morgan.

Josh got a trike for Easter

We ate Easter dinner at Mom and Dad's houseMorgan with her great-grandma and grandpa
