Just Thinking

So here I am thinking that in just a week and a half I am going to be a working mama. I think this really deserves a few words on the ol' blog. I having been so wrapped up in the blessing of waking up to play with my precious kiddos that I just can't imagine how busy our lives are going to be shortly. As you can tell by the time of this post I am deep in thought and I drank half of Zach's coke at dinner (never a good idea) hehe. I have had such a wonderful year with my two precious little men. They never cease to amaze me how much they fill my life with joy. Everyday they inch their way to being amazing individuals.

Josiah is a very expressive young man. Just today for example, he was "fake crying" in the mirror. I couldn't but chuckle as I mused that he had inherited this dramatic trait from me, but then thought it could have easily been from his daddy :P. He is so methodical (both of us), he always has to put his toys aways, especially when we are trying to get out the door. He has such a precious obedient heart and wants to please. His bedtime behavior is amazing. Two weeks in a row not fighting about an 8:30pm bedtime even thought he knows good and well everyone else in the house is awake! Josiah loves his habits though, makes me think that he will love all the rituals and routines of school. I can't wait for the day when I will bring him with me.

Josh is another story in and of itself. I can't wait of course for him to join us at school and he will excited to come and I'm afraid perhaps a bit more chatty. If Josh continues at the rate he is babbling at present, his teachers will be send me quite a few notes about his talking in class. But his language proficiency doesn't scare me, but I find myself smiling as I think, "He is just like his mama too". Josh wants your attention at all times. This could very well be the age, 8 months and all, but seriously, he wants to have a conversation. His favorite thing is to be talked to and to "talk" back with you. You should see how he tries to "army crawl" to reach Josiah, so he can relay a secret message. Too bad I can't interpret baby code :).
I am in awe of how fast this time has gone, Josh is almost crawling and in a few months He won't be on the floor anymore, at Christmas he'll be walking and talking and be 1 year old! Oh my heavens.

Speaking of heavenly things I shouldn't forget the spiritual leader of this zany tribe, my sweet Zach. He is going to be spending a great deal of time with my two little guys and I know it is not always a walk in the park. Josh is really a at very hard age to go anywhere. It is amazing how patient Zach can be. I think He has truly grown in this and continues to take a deep breath and astound me. He is a wonderful dad, loves to play with his kiddos, and has a fantastic sense of humor. I keep telling him, humor, that is how I get through it. I know they will be having a great time playing and laughing with Zach and I am so glad that they have this time together no matter how difficult it might be.

Well, I am finally getting sleeply..all the typing I suppose and I put my thoughts down for you to read. I love my little family and I know we are ready to face whatever the future holds, because love holds us together :) good night
