Pots and Pans

Joshua loves to play in the cabinets and pull out all of the pots and pans. He's always been fascinated with trying to get into the pots, although he's grown so much, it's a pretty tight fit these days:

Children are like sponges....

I've heard this all my life, but now I'm realizing how true this statement is. Joshua amazes me daily with the little things that he knows...without me knowing that he knows them. For example: on Saturday nights Ronnie spends a lot of time in the study preparing for Sunday's sermon. On one recent Saturday night, Ronnie asked Joshua, "Will you go ask Momma for a bottle of water and bring it to me?" Joshua proceeds down the hallway, but rather than coming to me, goes directly to the recently purchased 6-pack of water that is sitting on the floor in the kitchen, and tries to carry the entire 6-pack of water to Ronnie. I was sitting in the living room observing all of this in amazement. I then went to the fridge and handed Joshua a cold bottle of water and he carried it directly to his daddy! It just amazes me that although he cannot communicate verbally with us, he understands exactly what we are saying!! As I said, I'm amazed daily by all of these wonderful little things!!!Another amazing little thing - talking on the telephone!!!

Happy Easter!!!

Corn on the cob

Joshua loves corn on the cob, but, of course, when I had the video camera going, he did everything, but show you how much he loves corn!

Fiddle lessons

I hope you can see this video. It was fine on the camera, but it's dark on the player.

Joshua likes to take his drum stick and pretend that he is playing the fiddle like is papa. Now Ronnie has started getting the real fiddle out and letting Joshua play on it a little.
