Father and Son

After class last night I came home to study for a while. Jason and Josh were watching a movie in the living room. when I came out of the office this is what I found.

Art Time

After school Josh wanted to do some coloring and painting so I was more than pleased to have the TV off and this was the afternoons activity Josh and I also created a little friend that sat beside him while he colored. I love School and the influence it has had on Josh. He wants to play more and watch TV less. Thanks Mom for the paint and Jenna for the play dough.

Last night for Family Home Evening activity we decided to build a train track and play trains. It was a lot of fun it sure is a blessing to be able to set time aside and just play with the whole family. Thanks Mom and Dad for the great Train set.

Josh's First Day at School

Today was Josh's first day at school and just as I thought he didn't even want to stop and say goodbye to me he was so excited about his classroom. This is exactly how he was for his first day in nursery too. Josh had so much fun today. He worked with his speech therapist and loved all the activities that the class did. I was worried that he would be so much younger than the rest of the class but he is the same age as all the kids same size for the most part too, so he fits right in. The only tears he had was when he did not get his way. For a first day I think that is very good. After school he came home and fell asleep on the couch. I have a feeling he will be taking a nap everyday for a while. I sure am pleased with Josh everyday he can say another new word and now that he is working with teachers he can really make some progress. Good Job Josh

Josh/ Preschool

okay I know this post is more for family but I thought you might like to know yes Josh was tested through the school district today and we found out that hey we were right he is speech delayed, so what was the solution to this, "Preschool" yes that is right my sweet barely three years old little boy was enrolled through the school district into a Preschool program. It is four days a week and two hours a day. He will be brought up to speed on colors, shapes and numbers along with a speech therapist working forty minutes a week with him. The nice thing is the school is four houses down from our house. He met his teacher today and she seems like a really nice women he even gave her a hug when we left which helps, now if Mommy can let her baby go I think we can proceed with helping Josh get a really good education and get to where he needs to be. Josh starts school on Tuesday morning. As a mother I never expected any of this but it has been a really wonderful learning experience for me and Josh. Now Jason and I can give him the help that he needs and togeather as a family we can become even closer.

Josh's Third Birthday Party

Well as time has passed I could not believe that my baby is now three years old. I had to look back at the last three years and wonder where did they go? It was such a treat to have family at the party and the weather which I might add was unseasonably warm and beautiful. We were also surrounded by good friends. Josh had a great time and was able to show grandma a few new things that he has learned to do. Like constantly telling everyone thank you and jumping up and down like a chicken. We sure are lucky to have such wonderful family so close. My family could not make it but we look forward to seeing them in May and July. Thanks to everyone who came and made this a very special day for Josh.
