Joshua: The best seat in the house

Last Days as a Pre-Schooler

James has spent a wonderful two years in the primary building with Ms. Susan and Mr. Billy.  At the end of the year performance and luncheon, which Nana and Grandpa were able to attend, James joyfully demonstrated his Spanish, French and singing skills.  He has learned so many great lessons, including how to be a great friend to his classmates and the joys of trying new foods.  He's even introduced "salad bar" night to our household.

Spring Play: Tall Tales

This guy

This guy is pretty freaking fantastic.  He is the hardest working, most supportive and funniest person I have ever met.

Recent fun facts about life with him:

• When the kids and I rode our bikes to the grocery store, the children felt that they needed to give me a tour of the establishment as they believe that I've never been to a grocery store.
• The children's favorite way to go up to bed: SUITCASES, which consists of Joshua simultaneously carrying each child -- one on each arm -- like a suitcase up the staircase.
• He is the creator of a game we play most dinners which consists of one person posing a question which includes three options; those who answer have to explain their answer.  For example, last night James asked, "You have to travel to school on a dragon, Pegasus, or a griffin, which do you choose?"  James and I chose dragons (James: "they poop water"; I like the fire breathing), Alma chose a Pegasus (rainbow Pegasus, to be clear), Joshua went for the griffin (soft).
• Joshua wrote the last two school musicals, which are the funniest performances I've ever seen.  Last year: Aesop's Fables. This year: Greek Myths.  This year's musical contained Atlas talking about creatine recovery drinks, Hades making bad death puns, and siblings playing a combative Zeus and Hera.
