Joshua is 4!!!

Joshua is now 4 years old and it is so hard to believe. We had a very busy, fun filled birthday and I believe it was a success. When Will got me up that morning I wrapped Joshua's presents and displayed them on the couch. Joshua was so happy to see his gifts sitting there nicely waiting to be opened. I liked having him open his gifts in the morning so he could play with his toys all day. He is really into castles, knights and dragons so we bought him a large castle with a dragon on it. The castle does many neat things. That was the big gift and we got him a few smaller items. After gifts Joshua requested heart french toast. It was such a big hit on Valentines day that he wanted to have it again.

After Breakfast we went to book babies (for Will) Joshua had fun showing off his birthday shirt and having everyone sing happy birthday to him. at 12:30 we had an appointment for Will, since he isn't crawling yet and has poor posture the doctor wanted to have him checked out at the developmental preschool. A physical therapist will be vising us once every other week to help him start moving.

That morning Joshua had mentioned he wanted to get his hair cut so off we went to the parlor. He did very well, so much better than last time so we took him for a small ice cream cone. We went back to the house for another nap and so Joshua could play with all of his things. Then later that afternoon we went to corona village for his birthday dinner. Joshua thought it was pretty neat that they sang happy birthday to him and put on a big hat. This has become a family tradition.

The beautiful trees that morning. I had told Joshua that God decorated the trees just for his special day. He thought that was very neat, then later was sad that they melted.


My boys

Look Mom... I'm 4!!! All day he had told people that he was 3 when they would ask him how old he was. That morning I had told him that he wasn't actually 4 until 3:05pm so then he started telling people he was 3 and I would have to tell everyone the story. Once 3:05 hit he told everyone he was 4. This picture was taken at 3:05!!
