Joshua stories

A couple Joshua stories:

Joshua has gotten used to sleeping in bed with big people over the holidays which means we are retraining him to sleep in his room. On Monday morning he woke up in our bed (~5:30) after I changed Noah and was about to feed him. He sleepily said “Mommy I need Buzz and Woody,” because he had left them in his room when he joined us around 2AM. I said “Okay, I’m going to feed Noah then we can go get Buzz and Woody.” To which he replied “No Mommy. I NEED Buzz and Woody…right now.” He said it ever so sweetly and earnestly that I had to go get them.

On Sunday night, Joshua was stalling about going to bed and kept asking for one more kiss, then one more hug, then one more drink, etc. and we’d give him one more and then send him back to his room. His last attempt, which I thought was fairly creative went like this. We heard his door slam (because he doesn’t know how to gently close doors), then he ran to our room carrying his night-night pillow and a big grin, and said “Door is shut now. It not open. I sleep in here.” I don’t remember if we sent him back to his room or not after that, but I do know he eventually wound up in our bed, along with Buzz and Woody.

Mommy and Daddy story:
Mommy and Daddy have been having a lot of fun with Joshua's Mr. Potato Head. It started out with Mommy hiding Mr. Potato Head's eyes so they were peeping out from under Daddy's pillow. It surprised a tired daddy. Next thing I knew, the eyes were hiding under the loofah in the shower. This has escalated and those eyes are popping up everywhere. We should probably thank Joshua for sharing his toys with us.
