Joshy Turns 5

Yesterday, Joshy had his 5th birthday. When I went to get him in the morning he was laying on his bed with his hands behind his head and asked,"mom am I bigger?" He kept thinking and saying that when he turned 5 he would be bigger. He wanted to check his hands and see if they were bigger. So cute. We had a little family party for him in the morning before Andrew went to school so that Eric could be there. So we had presents and cake done by 8:30 am. Crazy I know but we wanted to share it with the whole family. We will have our family come over on Sunday for another party. He loved all his presents and has been so happy playing with them.
Joshy is such a sweet boy. He always has a smile on his face and always want to please. He loves attention and will do almost anything to get it. I love his big brown eyes and long lashes when he looks up at you and just smiles or comes up and says "mommy you look pretty today!" He is the best. Josh came to our family when he was 2. We were so excited when we heard we were going to be getting 2 boys. What joy he has brought to our lives. It was not easy at first, because he was 2 and he was not used to routine but he grabbed onto that and now craves a routine.
I love you Joshy and your sweet spirit. We are so lucky that you are in our family, you bless our lives and we love you!! Always keep your smile and sweetness!
