I need patience today with my sweet little man! After I wrote my post about him not throwing so many fits he threw the mothership of all fits yesterday! I jinxed him!! :)

Such a Boy

Josiah is definitely all boy. 

 We came home the other night, and we saw this frog.  I am not a fan of frogs so we played with him for a few minutes.

Then I was a horrible mom and made him wait until Daddy came home to actually pick him up and play with him.  Then they found another one...that jumped on Josiah. 

At that point I ran into the house "to cook dinner".  I don't dislike them, they just freak me out a little because they jump all over the place. 

But this cute growing boy loves them.  

Etsy - Cute little elephant!

I love Etsy!!!  I always look at the adorable stuff talented people have made.  I wish I was that talented and could sew.  One of these days I plan on learning....if I ever have time! :)  Until then I will continue to look.  I finally took the plunge and bought my first etsy purchase (I buy invitations from there all the time but they are the kind that you just get a file and you print yourself).  A girl I went to high school with posted on facebook the other day that she had started an etsy shop.  I clicked on it and saw these cute little elephants!  I wanted one so bad so I asked her when she made some more if she would make some in pink and gray for Adalyn's room!  She is such a sweetheart!  I received it in the mail today!!  Don't you just love getting mail?  I know I do!!  Here is a picture of it!  It is going to be perfect!!  You should go check out here other awesome crafts she has done.  Click here.  She has all kinds of stuff from other stuffed animals, fabric checkbook covers, key fobs, hair clips and a tons more....and they are all CUTE!!!!  I always love supporting people that make homemade stuff.

I also purchased Adalyn's crib bedding from Etsy too!  They said it would take 5-7 weeks so as soon as I get it I will post some pictures!  But it has pink, gray (cheveron) and very cute little elephants on it!  I can't wait to see it!!

J is for Josiah

Josiah and I color letters each day.  Yesterday was "J" and he drew a "J" inside the one we printed out.  He will draw letters on his own but if you ask him you better forget it.  He will not do it on demand.  I figured since "J" was our letter I would write a little bit about him today.

He also drew this "I".  Mine is on the right and his is on the left!  I was so proud of him!!!!  This was the first letter he tried to draw! 

Josiah's favorite breakfast food right now is waffles and syrup.  We have syrup with a blue lid and one with a red lid.  They are both just regular syrup, but one is from walmart and one is from winn dixie....he likes the blue one better. 

With that being said.  His favorite color is blue.  He uses a blue marker most always when he colors or draws.  He wants daddy to wear his blue shirt to work.  He wants daddy to get a blue truck.  He wants a blue lollipop.  You get the point!!! The boy loves him some blue!

His new thing as of two days ago is to ask "Why?"  I knew this day would come, but I thought he would be at least 4!  I hear "Why?" 4,347 times a day! 

Josiah is loves to dance and sing now!  He turns everything he says into a song.  Today on the way to school he was singing "Christmas time, Christmas time, Christmas time, Christmas time, over and over.  His little voice is so sweet!!!

He is totally potty trained during the day.  But nighttime and nap time are hard.  I'm not sure how to break him from peeing during these times.  I am hoping it will happen on its own.....

He is still loving noodles/rice and soy sauce.  I thought he would grow out of this by now but it is his favorite.

He tried cinnamon toast again and LOVED it!  This makes me happy because I too love it!

He loves bubble baths.

He isn't throwing as many fits as he was, thank goodness.

Josiah can count to 13! 

He is starting to play more on his own.  This makes me happy and sad at the same time!  I get a little time to clean up but he is getting so big.  I can't believe he will be 3 in 4 months!!!  Soon we will be thinking about Pre-K and T-ball.  Crazy! 

He keeps us laughing and on or toes!  Some days are a little on the rough side but when he puts that sweet smile on his face it makes up for ever temper tantrum/bad behavior! 

Hope everyone has a great  Tuesday!

 

 

Busy

We had a really fun weekend with friends and family!! Friday night we played games at Lindsay's, Saturday we played games at Aunt Pris and Uncle Ray's, and Sunday we had a playdate with Garrett followed by celebrating MeMe Janet's birthday!!!

Josiah and I met up with Carter, Jaime and Wendi today and we played at the park until it rained! This weather is depressing!! Ready for the beach!!

Pb&j

I have the sweetest husband ever! And Josiah has the best daddy ever!!! Josh had school last night so Josiah didn't get to see him but for a few seconds! Josiah asked if they could eat pb&j crackers for breakfast! Well, Josh had to Head to work before Josiah woke up so he made his favorite breakfast with a sweet little note!!!! The love Josh has for Josiah puts a huge smile on my face!!!!!!! It's the little things!

On a mission

Today I feel like I am butter because I have been on a roll. Okay that was totally cheesy! I have cleaned up around the house, did some laundry, and played a ton with my sweet little man! He has been in an extra good mood so that means Momma has been in a good mood!

He is napping and I have been working on a meal plan! I usually do this but not to the extent I want to. I want to be very organized. I love cooking but I hate thinking of what to cook. I have definitely been using Pinterest to come up with some dinner ideas!

My plan is to have enough meal ideas for the month. I wish I could get to the point where I only go to the grocery store once a month (except for going for fresh fruit and veggies), but I don't know if that is possible. I just dread going to Walmart. It is a nightmare. And it is going to be even harder when we have two little ones!

I have almost completed the meal "list", I am just working on the what we want to have on what days of the month. I know we won't always stick to it because things change such as Josh working late, dinner plans with friends, etc. but at least I will have some ideas in front of me when I head in the kitchen to make dinner. Once I get everything organized I will try to share with y'all!!

Hope y'all are having a wonderful Thursday!
