23 months

Joshua is 23 months today....time has flown and I can't believe he is about to turn 2 next month. He is currently Thomas the Tank obsessed, having to watch him a few times a day (not that we do..but some days to constantly here him say 'choo choo' and then sit on the chair sometimes drives me batty). He has no problem to keep saying it for up to 30 minutes! We have a couple recordings of the show from PBS and a DVD, so we are watching those. He has learned to say 'Thomas', 'hello' and to yell 'All Aboard!'. At least we're learning something from it!

Here's our 23 month picture from this morning. We attempted a spiky look on his hair with mixed results!


Our last day of school is this coming Tuesday, and we're a little sad about it. Joshua has grown a lot while he's been there and the difference is amazing. He finally stopped crying when I left him in the mornings last week....now that we're done with school! He has made friends there and it's cute to hear some of the stories the teacher told me. The cutest one is during naptime (they're still in cribs), him and another boy next to his crib like to 'talk' to each other and stick their fingers and blankets through the cribs. They also like to hug each other through the cribs too. I thought that was just too cute!

They got to have a class Birthday celebration last week and everybody got to have Rice Krispies...apparently he loved them so much he asked for 3rds!! They only gave him 2 helpings thank goodness. Here's a picture of him wearing his birthday hat. He wore it for about 2 hours last night!




Our other big accomplishment this past week is that we figured out how to drink from a straw!! I wasn't really sure how to teach him that skill, so I just bought a cup with a straw and let him play with it. I demonstrated a couple of times and then he just figured it out! Very proud!

Have a great Memorial weekend!
