"Awww So Cute"

As many of you know, this is one of Josh's new phrases. He will grab Tiggy (his blanket) and say "Aww Tiggy so cute." It kills me. Well, he did something today that made me say "awww so cute."

I was watching Erin (Paula's little girl) today while Paula was off at an appointment. Erin was sitting by herself and playing with blocks. We have the Elmo medical kit, and the medical case is just a plastic Elmo head, but it looks kinda like a briefcase. Well, Josh grabs the Elmo briefcase, goes over to Erin, kisses her on her check, and says "Bye Erin. See you later. Going work" and then walks to the garage door. So you can only imagine what he sees every morning when Ben goes to work. But Ben doesn't carry a briefcase, he carries a laptop backpack.

All in all, it took me by surprise and made me laugh. It's amazing to watch the imagination.

A Very Useful Mom

 

 

 

Time for a change of pace. I felt the need to finally get Josh's crib out of his room, and I had finished sprucing up the train table that we got used from someone. After some elbow grease, and chalkboard paint for the table top, it looks good and was ready to put in his room. Josh was SO excited. He's never really had his toys in his room, and we were worried he wouldn't go to sleep. Luckily, he seemed to believe that the trains were sleeping for the night. I also added his toy bins to his room. All in an attempt to remove some of the clutter from our family room. We'll see how it goes.

I hate to put this on my blog, but as this is about our life, this seems to be a big enough event to publish, no matter how sad. My mother passed away this morning after a hard battle with breast cancer. She was a strong and brave woman, and I will miss her terribly.
Thanks to everyone who have kept her in your thoughts and prayers. I have appreciated all of the support.
