My Joshy B.

I realized the other day that I quite possibly have never in the past 21 months made a post about just Joshua. Here goes...

He is currently into Batman in a major way! He loves playing with the batman set and we have been watching old Batman episodes online. He bobs his head up and down to the theme song and says "MatMan" The other day I saw a t-shirt that had the Batman logo on it and I could not resist. I venture to guess that his second birthday party will have a Batman theme.

He is a dare devil to be sure. He climbs all over and up and down everything. Yesterday at the park he even slid down a climbing wall that you are supposed to climb UP. David said he had the biggest smile on his face and went and did it again! He also went down the tallest slide by himself several times. I of course was not there to see all this or I would have for sure had a heart attack.

I think I have created a potty monster! The other day I had him sit on a training chair for a bit when I thought he had to go the bathroom. Now he wants to try all the time! He eagerly ask to sit on the potty now and whenever I have to use the facilities I can be sure he will want to try also :) Of course we have yet to produce anything but I am glad he is excited!

He has a sweet tooth like his mommy and daddy. He knows where we keep our stash of sugar and points to it and says "Nandy, Nandy". I have gotten in the habit of getting him a donut every Sunday evening to try and fatten him up a bit. He likes a glazed old fashioned just like me :)

And of course like most younger brothers he loves to imitate everything he sees his older brother do! Josh now requests to wear underwear "Undy, Undy" under OR over his pants. He tries to climb up the railing, jump off the bed, swing on the swings and thinks he really must ride a bike.





Second Annual Valentines Day Pirate's Treasure Hunt

This was the second year that we hid chocolates and goodies for the boys at Webster Park. David goes and plants them and "steals the map from the pirates so we can steal their treasure" and then comes back to get the boys and I. We made a map for Jacob to follow and David gave hints. This year Jacob wasn't so sure that we had stolen the map from actual pirates...but he knew for sure the chocolate gold came from the pirates :)

Just arrived at the park, ready with our swords...just incase we run into pirates!

arrrr!, where's the treasure?!?!?
