Worms and rolly pollies

Josh is absolutely crazy about finding worms and rolly pollies. Every time we go outside we hear, "find worms?" Now that the weather is turning sour again, it is really hard to keep him inside, which is fantastic. One of the first things he asked this morning was to go outside.

Josh is has also mastered counting to ten within the last week or so. He has been able to count to ten for awhile, but he would skip some of the middle numbers. Not anymore. It really took off when he was playing hide-and-seek with the neighbors. Also, within the last week Josh as come leaps and bounds with his ABC's. He is able to sing the ABC song, for the most part, and he recognizes at least 8-10 letters.

We bought new squeakers shoes for Josh and they arrived today. Oh my gosh, I don't think we will ever be able to get them off him. They are so cute too. The shoes are navy blue with white stripes.

This weekend is going to be CRAZY! Friday we went to the Indiana Home School Convention in the morning and then I worked. Saturday we are celebrating Matt's dad's birthday and some friends are coming over to help lay the stones for the garden and Sunday Matt works. I think we need a vacation from our weekend. :)

Josh playing with the worms he found. Every once in awhile he will even give them a kiss.

O.K. This was Josh and I making cookies for the first time. Chocolate chip cookies. So the making of the cookies went really well, but I had the brilliant idea to use the cutters. Not such a brilliant idea. It was total disaster!!! The dough was way to sticky for cookie cutters, but they sure tasted good.

Just one little lick, Please?

More worms. I just can't get enough.
