All about Josh

Well, I officially have a third grader on my hands. And as much as I'm sad to admit it....I am beginning to see signs of a young man developing. :-( Last Wednesday was his first day of school. He was SUPER excited to start because one of his best friends, Jack, is in his class. Not to mention a friend from the neighborhood is not only in his class but also his locker partner. Yes, this is the first year he got a locker and boy, oh boy, was he excited about that!



Can you believe it? THIRD GRADE!!!

Only two days later he turned eight. Ugh. Eight years ago I couldn' wait to see what kind of person this little baby boy would become and now I just want time to stand still!! I asked him what he wanted for his birthday dinner and he said he wanted me to make my "special" pancakes. Poor kid doesn't know that a splash of vanilla and a tablespoon of sugar is all I need to make them "special", but nonetheless.

We were planning on having a cake the following day in order for Dustin to partake in the festivities but every kid needs to blow out some candles on their birthday, so.....I improvised.



And the next night he got the real thing!
