It's been a fun week. Both kids had a great time at Thanksgiving having cousins to play with! Joshua played with Katherine, Matthew & Christopher - he'd call & go looking for one of them if he couldn't see them, and he stayed up till 11:30p and even then was so wired, he didn't go to sleep for another hour! He also had fun the next morning playing with both Julia and Emily. He kept saying "TWO babies!", and then decided he wanted to be a baby too. :) Emily played well with Julia, and I think she missed having someone her age when she left!
J's new fun is playing w/ "garbage". He wanted something to put in his garbage trucks, so Shawn gave him some tiny pieces of toilet paper rolled up. On the up side, it is easy to make more and clean. On the down side, I now have "garbage" all over the place!
J is counting to 10 frequently, but he leaves out 7 & 8. He was singing "Jesus loves me" in the car the other day and I could understand the words! He always wants the "big fish" story at night before bed (Jonah), and the "lions" story (Daniel & the lion's den) if he finds one of our Bibles.
E is walking - wobbly - with holding just one hand. On Sunday, she squatted to pick up toy & stood back up without holding on. She gets so excited - jumps & squeals - when Shawn comes home now. It is fun to watch her play. She thinks about things - putting balls in hole, the trying to fit a car in hole; banging a ball on different surfaces and noticing the difference in sound. When we're downstairs, every time I put her down, she makes a bee-line for the stairs, and she's fast! Joshua stands at the top and tells her to "climb, climb" until she gets to the top. Then he drops on his belly, and reaches out to pull her up. She just smiles and squeals!
I realized her shaking head doesn't me "no", it is that she is dancing to music. :) She loves to eat paper, esp. Joshua's books.
