About Josiah

Josiah is trying a new tactic to get things he wants:

"I need something cold... I know! Ice cream is cold!"

"I need something bouncy... I know! Marshmallows are bouncy!"

A few weeks ago, Josiah and I were biking to town. Suddenly, around a curve in the 4-foot-wide sidewalk come 5 cows. Running. Running with horns. These cows:

There was no way I could get the bike stabilized and get Josiah out of the harness before the cows got to us. And there was a wall along the part of the sidewalk I was on. So I just got as much to the side as I could and hoped the cows didn't care about us. They didn't. But I was a bit terrified.

A couple of nights ago, Papa and I were arguing about something related to the geography of Lamma Island. It doesn't matter that Papa lives on that island and I don't, I'm that confident of my sense of direction. The next morning, Josiah found the paper that Papa had used to prove his point (which was really just a difference in terms... we were both right) and exclaimed, "It's a map!" I thought it was pretty impressive that Josiah identified this as a map:

The toy in the video below is a toy off a friend's stroller. Josiah was fascinated with it for some reason, so we borrowed it. Too bad for Daddy, he's the only one that can actually play this (made-up) game. I don't do voices.

And this is what we did for quite a while the other day. Josiah thought Daddy's guitar case was a great place to play. Please excuse the pants-less boy. Josiah does not see any reason to wear shorts around the house and since he can go potty by himself much easier without shorts, neither do I!
