Growing Up

September 5, 2007 by Joe.

I never thought Josh would be this tall at four years old. Ok, so he is almost five. Yes, 19 days away. He is still our little boy. Ok, so yes he can now stand next to the kitchen island and rest his arms and head on it like the rest of us “tall” people do. That was a shock the first time we saw him do that. It’s one of those things you bring him back and have him do it again just to make sure that you saw it right the first time. I just love all of the “firsts” he has. Not only is he growing physically, he is also growing mentally. He is such a smart and polite kid. You can tell that he is trying to learn and wants to learn. He asks lots of questions and out of nowhere he surprises us. Tonight, Tara asked me what day is tomorrow. Josh answered that tomorrow is Thursday. Now, don’t get ahead of me. He understands days of the week but he still has a difficult time following which day we are in and what day follows. However, he was able to piece together from earlier conversations that tomorrow is Thursday and then relay that information later to his Mom. Gotta love him! He is also a very good kid. He cleans up the table without being asked. We had a neighborhood poker game at our house a few weeks ago and he asked one of our neighbors if she was done and it totally surprised her.

I have taken Josh bowling with me a couple times in the last month. He really enjoys this and wants to go with me all the time. My league started yesterday though so we probably won’t be going as often. He wants to go to league with me but he doesn’t understand why he wouldn’t be able to bowl. Plus, I don’t get home until 9:30 - 10 so it is way past his bedtime. I am sure I’ll sneak him down someday, but maybe not for awhile.

I’ll post a couple pictures on his pictures page.
