A short recap of what Joshua has been doing lately:
1) Derek went into his room yesterday morning to get him out of bed while I 'slept in'. I could still hear them on the monitor and this is what I hear. "Good morning Joshua...let's get you out....where's your diaper? Did you take your diaper off?" giggle, giggle.
We put him in just a t-shirt the other night to sleep in and apparently he woke up, took off his diaper and then peed all over himself. I couldn't help but laugh as I heard this exchange in bed. We won't be sleeping in just a t-shirt anymore!
2) We went to the zoo for our first time this weekend in Ft. Worth, weather be darned....it turned out the best because it wasn't too sunny or hot and the animals were out. I didn't go into this with the highest of expectations because Joshua has simply not shown any interest in animals...only when singing Old McDonald and in a puzzle. He wasn't a fan of my parents' dogs, but I thought we should go because it's one of those things we wanted to do with him. We definitely know he's ours because Derek & I don't really have much interest in animals either. Anyways, prediction came true...he showed really no interest in the animals, some minimal interest in the rhinos and giraffes, but was overall crabby while we were there. Here's a picture of him with Derek...he's more interested in his graham cracker than the animals.
Here's his happiest time at the zoo....on the fake car.
We got to ride a train also while we were there, we probably should have done that first and he probably would have been happier....always in hindsight.
3) Latest sayings are when we play peekaboo with him. We say "I see you" and he's taken to repeating us...it sounds more like "Ieeyou" in a really high pitch tone, but it's cute. Other thing is he will now say "cheese" for pictures. Here's a picture of his "cheese" face.
4) Finally, Joshua enjoys drawing a lot on his Magnadoodle these days. I like it because it requires no clean-up on my part...and he is very precise about what he draws. I wish I could understand what he's trying to draw. He is getting really good at circles which is amazing to me. Here's a picture of one of his drawings before he erased it.
Pretty neat huh?

Every parent must learn the hard way that there comes a time when you absolutely must keep shorts on your child or else they will take off their diaper. Hey, at least it was Derek that found him! :) The zoo highlights for us are always the carousel, the train, and the snacks. They only like seeing a few animals. Sounds kind of like their parents!
I am not an animal fan either, but Jacob seems to be. Of course, like Lisa's kids, the carosel, train, and FOOD are the highlight, but J does like to check out the animals too.
We never had a problem with J taking off his diaper. He still can't/won't do it, and he's basically potty trained (no more diapers anyways) so I guess we dodged the diaper bullet....now we just may get it in a pull up or underwear - even more fun.
That's how Julia started, with circles! Just wait! He's a total boy, interested in the vehicles at the zoo!! Looks like a fun weekend! Happy Mother's Day
