More on Joseph


Joseph is so funny. He loves to laugh-- he just loves humor. When we say no to Joseph, he wags his finger at us, laughs and says, "no,no,no." It is hard to punish the kid. If I start to get mad at all, he laughs and acts like it is all just a joke. I love it! How can you not?  But sometimes, I go ahead and remove him to his room or make him clean his mess-- like when he decides to color the wall or rip a library book. He can still be a stinker-- just a funny one.

Joseph talks a whole bunch compared to most of our kids at 21 months. He astounds all of us (that talk already) every day. He speaks in 4 to 5 word sentences. He is our second big mouth. Like Kate, Joseph is never quiet, and he has a lot to say. One of his favorite things to say right now is, "Mom, look..." He is constantly showing me things.

Yesterday he figured out how to build his wooden train track. Every time he put another piece on the track, he would throw both of his arms into the air, shout, "Mom, look! My tain." Then he would do a little dance.

Joseph has been bringing books up to show to Joshua. When Joshua is in his swing, Joseph will bring over a book and turn all of the pages for him. Joshua, even though he gets knocked by the book some, smiles the whole time. It is nice that they are so close in age and really seem to enjoy each other. Joseph is a fun kid!

He sure is a cute little big mouth! I love that your kids get along so well. We are still working on that at my house. :)

Such a lucky kid too! Or should I say blessed? How wonderful to be raised in such a loving family!
