Joseph & Silky (Thanksgiving)

We thought this was very funny how Silky and Joseph would look out the window at the same time. I had to get this picture.

Somethings gotta give

So a few days ago we decided that Joseph did not need his sippy cup anymore since he drank out of a cup fine. Unfortunately this caused him to drink alot less than he was, he was still drinking but it was a very minimal amount. He also didn't have very many wet diapers at all and when he did it was not very much. I also noticed that when he was playing the other day he was laying down and being very lazy, he also took a nap early in the morning, on his own, which he never does. Something also that happened yesterday that I didn't think was related at the time was that Joseph didn't eat much at breakfast, lunch or dinner( which I found out later from Daniel since i wasn't there at dinner time because I went to a church activity). Anyway the next morning Daniel gave Joseph some milk and Joseph was drinking a little bit of it when Daniel brought over a waffle for him to eat. Joseph lunged for the waffle spilling his milk and screaming with his hands trembling. Daniel and I were a little bit more than shocked I can tell you that much. Daniel was frozen with amazement for a moment and then I told him to just give him the waffle, without tearing it in pieces for him. I should have known that even though some kids don't eat very much and drink very much, that was not okay for Joseph because he has never been like that before. I should have stuck with my instincts and realized he needed to be drinking more. For some reason he just doesn't drink that much from a cup at this time. I should have know that we were taking too much and something was going to have to give at some point.The poor guy was dehydrated and starving. He is doing okay now.

This was a picture of Joseph when he went to Zach's birthday party. (a neighbor) He really loves his juice!!!

Pictures from Halloween

I made these costumes from sewing patterns so I still need to finish mine. When I wore it on Halloween it was all safety pined up. Mom and Dad were the only way that I even made it that far. I was sewing all the way up to wearing it on Halloween. I made a matching Musketeer costume for Daniel but he had a test to get an alternative teaching certification that same day of halloween, two tests actually. He didn't have time to get all the way dressed up with the white shirt and boots and everything so we don't have a picture of him and Joseph together yet. I intend to finish mine and then have us all get pictures together still. My friend lent me a costume for Anna that was a pea pod so we will get a picture of her in that as well. I felt bad though because we missed most of the Halloween party at church because of my sewing of my costume.:-(. I need to give myself more time if I am going to do this again that is for sure.

Needs Batteries

Daniel told me yesterday that when he took Joseph to the potty that he looked down at himself and said "not working". Daniel said what's not working and Joseph said "pee, pee" and then he added "needs batteries". It was so cute. Daniel said that we needed to write that down so that's what I'm doing.:-)

This is what he says when a toy isn't working, it needs batteries.
