Raising Joshua

I'm moving Josh's page over to a blog. Call me lazy, it's just easier to update this than a webpage. Actually, it's about the same, but I like this whole blogging thing, even if I don't do it on a daily basis :)

Josh's Christmas 2001 Wishlist (doubles as his birthday list too) in Word
format and PDF format. If you need Adobe Acrobat reader, you can get it here.
He's scaled back this year, his list only contains 5 items.

Josh has finally had a breakthrough. He has started reading to himself!!!!
(yes, he could read before, but still didn't like reading to himself).
Rugrat comic books, but still.... He's also picking up one of my habits,
he'd rather read (cuz he knows that I want him to) than clean his room
(something else that he knows I want him to do). *sigh* ... he is getting
better, I've designated an hour of every day of the next week to clean
his room till I can get in there and vacuum. Yesterday he made EXCELLENT
progress (I was gone and it was just him and Tim to clean house, I should
leave more often). Ok, enough about the kidlet, I need to go eat, the
next one is making her hunger known.

Josh is turning into a fine chef. Tonight he made his very first Granny
Apple Crumble and it turned out delicious. Even Tim -- who isn't big on
sweets and desserts - conceded that it was pretty good :)

Josh thought of having a "Guys Night Out/Father-Son Night Out" on a regular
basis and they just had their first. It seemed to go well. A trip to Wunderland
and then dinner at BK.
Josh came home happy and Tim didn't seem as grumpy as he has lately, so
I'd say it was a good trip. I think my moodiness is starting to rub off
on everyone … it seemed that part of Josh's rational in the Guys Night
Out was two-fold. 1) Give mom a break and 2) Spend some quality time with
Tim. He came home and asked if I could set apart some of his child support
for more times like this since they want to make it once a month. My
kid is growing up….
