Today is Joshua’s half-birthday.
Here is a photo of him walking into his graduation. He graduated from Pre-Kindergarten on May 17.
Joshua pitched the last inning of the boys’ last baseball game (7/10/08). He got 2 strike-outs and a several walks. Here he is getting strike 2 off the other team’s best hitter. The next throw would be strike 3 (looking), out 3, game over!
At Elijah’s soccer game today Joshua and I were playing our own game on an adjacent field. An older girl, probably about 10, kicked a ball fairly hard that hit Joshua and knocked him down. Joshua sulked for a couple of seconds and the girl ran up and said "I’m sorry. Are you OK?"
After a couple of more seconds, the girl ran off and Joshua said:
"I don’t like "ok" and "sorry". I don’t like those words. Those are baby words. I like cool stuff, not baby stuff. Everyone but me is a baby. That girl is a baby. Everyone is a big baby but not me …. or that boy over there. He’s not a baby, but just me and him."
Added a couple of videos. First is Joshua and cousin Evan playing peek-a-boo. Really cute. Second video shows Joshua riding brother’s scooter.

Some cute and funny things about Joshua…
Joshua is obsessed with baseball. All he wants to do is swing a bat or throw a ball. If he can’t do that, he even likes to watch it on television. He loves helmets and hats and gloves. Sometimes it gets him into trouble, sometimes it leads to humor….
congratulations joshua , and a very happy 5.5 birthday to you !!! love auntie j and hootie
