Joseph

This little guy is 2 and has changed from a baby to a little boy over night. He amazes me so much. He is so strong willed but tender hearted. He loves to "help" with everything from cleaning, cooking, home improvements to yard work. He loves to play games, play soccer, playing outside, puzzles, legos, read books wear costumes, dance, movies, helping, wearing Luke's clothes, taking baths and playing with Luke. He thinks he is as big as Luke and tries everything. He loves to climb the fort, play at the playground, ride the scooter and bike and go for walks. He has no fear and will not take no for an answer. He goes to Mom's Day Out two days a week and loves it. He enjoys painting, coloring, play dough and cutting with scissors. He likes to do "homework" while Luke is doing his. He is a great eater and will try anything off our plate. He is not the easiest to get to bed at night and on occasion wakes up in the middle of the night. He can be very particular about his clothes, shoes and music. Many days he has on cowboy boots, snow boots or Luke's soccer cleats. His favorite outfit is his Alabama wind suit. He is learning to talk which has been fun to listen and figure out what he is saying. He adds "sh" and many words sound like he is clearing his throat. The spelling is hard to do and doesn't give justice to most of what he says. You really need to hear him say most of the words.
