Parties!

This month has been filled with parties!  Josh has a very active social life this time of year.  There was Ash's party with the jumping castle and swimming pool, Alex's party where I hear that Josh liked to play with all of Alex's presents (Kel took him to that party).  Then there was Ella's party where they ran around the park for 3 hours and had a surprise visit from Dorothy, and last but not least there was Riley's party where they had fun jumping on the trampoline and playing in the cubby house.  I don't think there will be any more parties for a couple of months - but then they start to be three year old parties - and that is very scary!!!

Trains

Here is a picture of Josh while he was asleep one night.  As you can see, he still loves trains!  He takes a few to bed each night, and that tshirt was worn for about three days in a row!   He still spends hours each day playing with his train set (which has grown a little since his birthday) and he watches his Thomas videos nearly every day.  On Monday he came to the city and I took him for a walk.  He gets a little confused by the trams, and calls them trains.  He started falling asleep while we were in Myer, but when I came out onto the street he woke up every time a tram dinged its bell and he would look around for it.

The Zoo

We went to the zoo again!  Did I mention that we have a zoo pass, so we can go as many times as we like for a while year!  This time we spent a lot of time looking at the seals.  They swam right past the window. 

Josh had an unfortunate experience with a butterfly in the butterfly house.  One landed on him and he freaked out and squashed it!  It even left an imprint on his leg of its wing.  The amazing thing was that Kel found the butterfly and it was still alive - just!

Other Stuff

New words: Yuck!  Cake, Cheese (he said this while we took a photo of him after he saw another kid do that at the zoo).  Oh No!  Train Gone (said with a very high pitched squeal at the end).  He did say Dad a few times, but not for a while now. 

Favourite food: Cheese, Rice Bubbles for breakfast (or if they are all gone he likes Nutri Grain).  Tomato, grapes.

Josh is teething again.  He is getting his two year old molars and they look very sore.  He has woken a few times in the early morning, but other than that he has been ok about it.
