Josiah's updates:
*The other day he was sitting on the counter and he got ahold of the soap. He started "pushing" the bottle to get some soap out and then was rubbing his hands together "washing" his hands.*(My favorite of the week) Sophie as lying on the couch and started crying. Josiah walks over and takes one of her hands in his. He started "talking" and then said, "Amen." He obviously saw her upset and knew to pray for her. It did my heart good to see all the praying that we do for others has effected him and that was his first response.
*He did sleep in his big boy bed for one nap, but hasn't done it since. We'll keep trying though.
*As you might have seen, we got a new van. Josiah is LOVING it. He sits up above the window now, so he can see everything that is going on. When we got out of the van for the first time, he started crying. Now, when we go outside, he wants to go in the van. I guess both Mommy and Josiah are enjoying the new van.
*He started his swim class. Surprisingly, he cried when he first got into the pool. As much as he loves the water and loved swimming last summer, we were really surprised. By the end of the lesson though, he didn't want to get out. So we think he is going to like his lessons. (Pictures under Josiah's March album).
*Josiah held Sophie for the first time. It was the sweetest thing ever. Since then, he asks to hold her.
*He also has started flossing his teeth. I decided the other day to try it. He NEVER wants to open his mouth for us or the doctor to look into, so I wasn't at all expecting him to let me floss his teeth. Well, he did and wanted me to keep flossing his teeth. It has even inspired me to keep flossing my teeth with him. Our next visit to Papa T should be a good one!
*On Sunday, Josiah did a craft during Sunday School about when God fed the Israelites manna. Well, his craft had a tent with some "manna" (oatmeal) sprinkled on it. When we picked him up, I was making a big deal about his craft and asked him what it was. He pointed to the "manna" and said, "Food." I had no idea what the lesson was about, but read the slip we were given about his lesson and sure enough he was right! It was amazing that he remembered his Bible lesson.
Now, for Sophie:
*She was having tummy time this week. She lifted her head and turned it back and forth. There are pictures in the March album for you to look at to see how much she enjoyed it.
*She has really picked up on smiling. It's not just a reflex now. She smiles when we talk with her.
*She has also started cooing when we talk with her. It's neat to see her starting to interact with us.
*She is also starting to track with her eyes.
*This week, she was lying on the couch again. Josiah came over and was "talking" to her. She obviously liked what he was saying because she started smiling at him.
*She is sleeping around 4 hours at night. We did get a couple of treats of 6.5 hours, but that isn't the norm at all. We've had some trouble getting her to go to bed at night, but the last three nights she has been in bed by 8:30pm, so we feel like we are heading in the right direction. We praise the Lord for helping her to get to sleep at a decent time.
