1. President's Day. Jake went to work in the morning- but came home around lunch time. It was nice to have him around so I could run to the store by myself to restock our refrigerator/kitchen. Plus I was feeling a little sick- so when I got back I lied down for a bit while Dekker slept and Jake took Josh and Roxy for a walk to the park. Josh road his tricycle all the way there and back!

2. Tuckered out kid. Josh sometimes has a nap and sometimes doesn't. After no nap and the long trip to the park and back I could tell he was getting sleepy. I had dinner ready shortly after they got back- and Josh gobbled up his food and then proceeded to curl up on the kitchen floor and fall asleep! Jake carried him up to his bed. We both thought it was so cute.

3. Our FHE was less formal than usual. Since Josh was sleeping Jake and I decided to go over our budget and reassess our financial goals. Since we took our house off the market and decided to stay where we're at for a while it was good to set out some new one year and 3-5 year goals. Then Josh woke up, and so we found a "family show" on TV. Which was "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids". It's been years since I've seen this- and though cheesy its actually still pretty cute.

4. My sensitive Josh. Josh had quite the emotional ride yesterday. First, he found out Roxy chewed up one of his two favorite bears. These bears were his REQUIRED sleeping friends for a very long time- and he's not so attached to them anymore- but when he had to help clean up and throw away his bear he got all teary and said "Bye Bear. I love you!" That about threw Jake and I into tears as well. Then in the show there's a scene with an ant that becomes the kids' friend as they journey through the back yard- and the ant dies protecting them from a scorpion. Josh again was moved to tears- and kept asking about the "caterpillar" he refused to believe the movie was over without showing the "caterpillar" return safely to his family (which is what we'd tried to sooth him by saying). SUCH sensitivity for a three year old boy!
