shadow.

remember the game, shadow, we used to play when we were annoying middle school kids trying to get attention. you would repeat whatever your friend was saying until they couldn't handle it anymore and just stopped talking or in most cases screamed at you to stop.

well, i think joshua has caught onto the game and is not telling anyone. he seems to be repeating anything everything we are saying which is forcing us to be more cautious of what we say around our copycat.

the other day when we were leaving the pagala's home i said, "peace out!" to jay and jenn. not even a second later joshua says every so slowly as to get the pronunciation correct, "peace... ouut!" i couldn't stop cracking up!

some other new words and phrases that joshua has picked up are:

check it out!
cool
awwwsome.
weeen transalation halloween
tinkerbell
pillowdough transalation playdough
wrong side
crazy!
keep trying

there are so many others that i cannot remember right this minute.

i remember i time when i was worried about joshua not talking early but really i had nothing to worry about. i just had to be a little more patient and remember that joshua like most children do things in their own time.

we are sitting together right now and he has happily sculpting, rolling, ripping, poking, and smashing his playdough with his hands. i cannot believe that he is becoming such a big boy. can i just bottle up this time with him and save it for when he is so big he doesn't want to hang out with me? i'll save it for this blog instead.
