Jessica: Joshua, do you want to play baseball, soccer, basketball or [mumbled]football[/mumbled]?
Joshua: I want to play baseball. And soccer. And basketball.
Me: Do you want to play football?
Joshua: Uh-huh.
Me: Do you want to be the boy that runs with the football, or the boy that tackles the boy with the football?
Joshua: YES!!
Added recent video of Elijah’s Piano Recital. The budding pianist performs “A Bunny’s Wish” and “Skipping Fun”. Enjoy.
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."
We’ve been busy. Boys are growing up. Our digital camera broke.
One quick story…
Somehow Elijah asked me what I did at work and I said, "I sit in front of the silly computer all day making websites."
He got a bright look in his eye. "You make webs?!" he said. "Did you make Google?!"
Oh man, if only….
