We had a parade around the neighborhood lake this morning. A friend let Joshua borrow their trike. He would pedal as long as he was pushed, but as soon as we stopped, he'd ask to go again! The solution? Emily started pushing him! = perfect! :)
This afternoon we went to a BBQ at a friend's house with a pool. Both kids are still fish and love the water, but Emily is just fearless! She loves to jump into the water and doesn't mind going under. The only thing that got her out was her desire to eat. Joshua decided to forgo eating and just played the whole time!

Catching up...again
April - Joshua & Emily both had their pictures taken professionally. Joshua was pretty shy, but we got a few good smiles out of him. Emily was all over it! She strutted her stuff right onto the backdrop, plopped down and turned a huge smile to the camera! We all laughed, so she just kept hamming it up! Needless to say, I bought alot of pictures!!
Joshua turned 3 this month and we decided to have a party for him this year. We had it at a bounce house and he, along with about 20 other kids, loved it! He also had fun coming home and opening all the presents! Since then, he thinks every present is for him!
May - Emily is getting her molars and has been a bit cranky and not sleeping well. No wonder, tho - her gums are swollen and bloody, poor thing! We had a vacation to Orlando, and visited Disney and SeaWorld. Joshua loved the dinosaurs at Animal Kingdom, and had a great time meeting Buzz and dancing with Woody at Magic Kingdom. Of course, his absolute favorite was the monorail, the train and the tram! :) Emily loved the carousel at Magic Kingdom. They both really had a great time at SeaWorld! So much, that we ended up going back for a second day. Joshua loved seeing the animals in the dolphin and whale shows, while Emily enjoyed the music and people dancing. Joshua was enthralled by the sharks! We all had a blast feeding the stingrays! If you ask Joshua was we saw in Orlando, he'll start by telling you: sharks, Orca whales, and dolphins. If you ask Emily about whales, she'll tell you they "splash".
June - We did Vacation Bible School and both Joshua and Emily had a great week. I think their favorite was the "water day", where they got to play in little pools and splash pads. Joshua had fun in the big group watching the kids sing and dance. All Emily's molars are in - Yay!! She is talking alot now. Her words include - apple, splash, Joshua (tata), paci, bunny, no, please, stop, I love you, c'mon and banana. She still enjoys eating and we found she loves strawberries! Joshua is still working on counting to 10. He gets stuck after 4 and jumps to 7. We started working on a preschool workbook, where he used scissors and glue. He did really well! He is great at matching and patterns! His imagination has taken off! There are imaginary people and things all over, all the time. He is very interested in what everything is called, why and how it works. He loves to build things with his legos, and most often it is either a plane or some kind of shooting weapon. He has fun "shooting" me and then kissing me to revive me. :)
