Update

We haven't really been doing much lately. Joshua has really enjoyed going to the Library story time. While there he gets to sing songs, listen to someone read some books, he loves getting his hand stamped, and after all that they get to make something. Last week we learned about apples (all fictional books) and he was able to make an apple tree. The instructor had all the pieces pre-cut and Joshua pasted them all on the paper. He loves pasting paper and has even been doing that at home a lot. He is great using a glue stick and sticking the little pieces on the paper. He also loves to paint, color, and play with play-dough.





After story time (the one with the apples) we went to the store to get supplies for apple pies. Joshua really enjoyed watching me cut up all the apples, he loved eating them too. After I put the sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg on the apples and gave them a good stir, he realized that they taste so much better like that and ate even more apples. Here is a picture of him with the yummy coated apples. Once the pies were cooked he didn't really have an interest in them at all but he was a good helper in the kitchen.



I want to share some cute things Joshua has been doing. He loves to try to count, and he enjoyed running to me. So our latest game is to have him stand against a wall and he counts two bee go!! (two three go), and runs to me. When ever he wants us to start something, anything he says "two, bee, go!!" it is now running into one word not three, he is very cute.

He also loves watching "Browie" (Barney) as he says it. He has learned all his colors and some shapes because of the show. The other day he was pasting shapes on a piece of paper and he would show me a shape and say "two, bee corners" he is trying to tell me how many corners was on the shape. When ever he counts he leaves one out and counts "two, bee, poor..." then repeats them.

I need to try to get him to count for me on video and say barney. It is so funny, he has such a personality I wish I could share it with you more often. If I get something on video I'll post it soon. :)
