Just a photo of our little mess maker at his sister's school birthday party.
My toddler is found smearing pudding all over some new coloring books, the kitchen counter and stool.
Mommy: Joshua!
Joshua: Knot (knock) it off?
I then have to spend a moment turned away trying not to laugh because I probably would have said "Knock it off!" Poor little boy. He is so curious and in the destructive phase of his development and I am worn out trying to keep up! I probably do say "knock it off" too often. Another phrase that I found out that I over use is "That's not a good idea." Imagine a little toddler voice saying "Not a dood idea?" Really cute. I wish that I could convey the cuteness through words but I am not that good. He says so many things that bring a smile or laugh to us everyday. Even with the stress and chaos he brings to our home he brings so much more joy and laughter. We couldn't do without him!
I just had to add these cute photos. Two minutes before I took this picture he was standing on top of the chair watching Mary Poppins and by the time I came back with a piece of bread for him to eat (since he was refusing to eat anything else for lunch--I am not a bad mother!) this is how I found him.

We love Joshua!! And yes, you are a fabulous mother!!! Andrew was happy to see him on our computer :)
You gotta love a kid who falls asleep on his own. Ethan would crash anywhere whenever he got sleepy, as opposed to the rest of them who resist naps with a passion!
Joshua needs to meet my daughter Shea...they would be such a pair! She too falls asleep at odd times, and often refuses to eat everything I offer her except bread! I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas!
Hilarious! Sometimes I wish I could fall asleep anywhere like that!
SO cute! I'm learning more every day that this is what little boys are made of- curiousity and how much higher can I climb? Or, what else can I pull apart to see how it works?
We're just BLESSED to have these experiences to strengthen us. :)
