22 Months

 M(om): Hi Joash. We have had a busy day today and we will tell everyone about it later. But right now, it is time for your monthly interview because you are 22 months old today!

J(oash): I will smile nicely for the picture, Mom, now that I know to say "cheese." I still really like cheese. Can I have some cheese to eat?
M: Not right now. First can you tell us about how things are going?

J: Well, I am getting some more teeth, so that is throwing off my appetite and my sleeping a little bit. I really don't want to eat supper any more, though I will sometime lick something if it looks good. That is what dogs do with their tongues when they eat. I also like to copy you and dad quite a bit. Like when dad stretches, I like to stretch too. And I like to repeat that last words you and Dad say.

M: I know that Joash. That means we need to make sure we are teaching you good stuff. What do you like to play with lately?
 J: I love my tractors, especially when they are hooked up. I also like to put my blocks and other things into my loader. I really like my new, bigger sand box. And I like to play games with my balls, like kicking and rolling the ball to you and dad, or throwing it down the stairs. I still love reading books too, Mom.

M: I know and I certainly like reading them to you. What other things are you starting to do?

J: Oh, I like to sing. My favorite songs to sing are "ABC's," "Ba Ba Black Sheep," and "Twinkle, Twinkle." (But, they all sound a lot a like, mom). And I like to dance and jump!
 M: I do like hearing you sing, Joash. You do a very nice job. Let's tell people about your typical day.

J: Well, I wake up between 6:30 and 7 and play with my bunny and combine that I sleep with until you come and get me at 7. Then I eat breakfast and often look at the tractors in Dad's Farm Show. Then I get dressed and ready for the day and we usually read some books and then go outside. When we are outside, I like to play in
the sandbox and check on the pumpkins in the garden and pick some onions. Then we usually come back inside and make some muffins for coffee time. Dad comes home for coffee around 10 and I really like that. After coffee we go back outside until lunch. I have a nap from 1:30-3:30. After nap and a snack, sometimes we go to the beach, or we stay home and make supper. We eat supper at 5 and I play inside until it is time for a bath and bed at 7:30.

M: What a day. You certainly do many different things.

J: I am glad that you will do them with me, Mom.

The 49th Mystic by Ted Dekker

In the small town of Eden, Utah, a blind girl named Rachelle Matthews is about to find out just how wrong. When a procedure meant to restore Rachelle's sight goes awry, she begins to dream of another world so real that she wonders if Earth might only be a dream experienced when she falls asleep in that reality.  She is the prophesied one who must find and recover five ancient seals--in both worlds--before powerful enemies destroy her. If Rachelle succeeds in her quest, peace will reign. If she fails, both worlds will forever be locked in darkness. I am a big Ted Dekker fan, and became a fan when I read the Circle Series. So when I heard Ted was writing more books in the Circle world, I could not wait to go back. And Dekker did not dissappoint. The only thing I don't like about this book is that I have to wait until October to get the second half of the story. Dekker is a master world builder and write interesting a complex characters. And Dekker masterfully weaves truth throu...

American Thanksgiving

One nice thing about being from two different countries is that we can celebrate more holidays. And since there are a few more people from the states here, last night we had our own American Thanksgiving feast. There were six couples and all of the wives and two of the husbands were from the States. So the Americans out numbered the Canadians, which doesn't happen very often. And we had a feast. There was turkey, ham, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, green beans, bread, stuffing and three different kinds of pies for dessert and a pumpkin cake. It was wonderful. And the fellowship was great too. The hosts said there was no assigned seating, so the ladies all sat together at one of the table and guys at the other. It was funny how it worked out, but we had great conversations full of laughter. It was a great way to celebrate a holiday. Hopefully we have started our own tradition here.

A Perspective

I have already mentioned my "Word of the Day" screen saver that I have on my laptop that is hooked up to the projector in my room. I am learning that the words go in cycles a bit, so the same word will pop up in several classes during the day. Today's popular word was "entitlement." A fantastic word to share with teenagers who often think they are entitled to a whole lot of stuff. In fact, we as humans often think we are entitled to a whole lot of stuff when really we are fallen people who deserve nothing but death. We so often miss how wonderful and blessed our life really is and we get caught up on the little things. This video sort of puts that in perspective in a rather humorous way. I am by no means promoting this comedian, but if you take what he says to heart, it is so true. We live in an amazing world, created by an amazing God. We really should be happy with the blessing we have been given.
