I have a really hard time watching him grow up, and I think it is because he is my last. I find myself looking at everything he does with a little sadnesses because I know that everything he does is a last for me. The last to do preschool, the last to learn to ride a bike, the last to do nursery!! That was a big one for Greg and I!! We are officially done with nursery at church.....never to have a child in there! I never thought I would see the day!
It was really fun to see Josh come into primary and be a "big kid".....I just got called to work in the primary with the 6yr. and love it to death......so I get to see Josh and Isaac in there and that alone is worth it. I love looking over at them and having them give me a wink or a thumbs up.
Josh is in preschool and is finally enjoying it. I was thinking I was going to have to pull him out because he was getting sick ALL the time. Hoping now that we are back that he wont get sick.
If you had asked me 5 years ago if I was going to have another kid I would have said no with a little hesitation only because Isaac was so much younger than Sarah. But having another exactly 1 year after Isaac.....NO WAY!!!
It has been a true testimony builder for me that Heavenly Father knows me soooo much better than I know myself. He knew I needed Josh and I am reminded of that daily.
Josh is there to help me laugh more, be more gentle, to talk more softly, and to cuddle more.
Each one of my children help teach me and are beautiful reminders to me of the things I am capable of doing and becoming. I think that is one of the greatest gifts of being a mother.
I am eternally grateful for my Josh and all my kids!!
Happy Birthday Josh!!!

He's such a cutie! And can I mention how much I love the Christmas picture with Isaac in the background? Is he mid-sneeze? It's awesome! Happy birthday to Josh!
