Joshua

Joshua just graduated from preschool!  I will post pictures soon.  Josh is very excited for kindergarten.  He's started reading and is so very proud!  He works hard at sounding out words and gets super happy when he gets a word right.  He will be going to Greenvale with Lauren, which Lauren is very excited about: ) 

Josh has gotten so tall in the last few months.  He just looks like a boy now instead of a little boy!  He is growing out of his baby-ness way too quickly for this mama's liking!  His favorite food is chicken nuggets, his favorite color is green, his favorite song is "Beth" by KISS (but he really likes the Glee version), and his favorite cartoon is Bugs Bunny.  He loves playing with Logan and Lauren and he LOVES Emma.  He holds her, feeds her, talks silly talk to her, and plays with her.  He's always concerned about her and he loves to make her smile!  He's such a fantastic helper.  He (and Lauren) has chores that he needs to do but there is also a list of "things you can do" to earn a coin or a bead (once the kids earn enough beads they will get a fish for their Pirate fishtank).  Josh is saving his coins for a Nintendo DS : )  He got his first sliver just last week (on the bottom of his foot), which was very unpleasant and he's all scraped up from falling here and there off scooters and whatnot.  Are five-year-old boys just really uncoordinated?  He's seems to be all arms and legs!! 

Josh's summer plans include swimming lessons, golf, soccer, playing with his buddies, vacation bible school, a trip to Milwaukee/Green Bay/Conover and probably a few overnights at Grandma and Bumpa's in Austin.
