11 Months

M(om): Joash, you are getting so big!

J(oash): I know Mom! It is pretty impressive how much I have grown in 11 months.

M: So what is new and exciting in your life these days?

J: Well, some things are pretty much the same. I still like to eat, though my favorite foods seem to change every day. I like variety, Mom. I think my favorite food right now are peaches and bread. I love bread. Dad call me a bread monster because I like to stuff big pieces in my mouth.
M: What other things are the same?

J: I still like books. It is fun to hear the new books that you are getting Mom. I really like the new stories. I also love toys that make noise. I also love my bath and splashing you while I play. The outdoors is great as well. I am glad that the weather is staying nice so that we can go outside a lot.
M: What about sleeping these days?

J: Sleep is nice and waking up is nice. I know that you will come and get me once you hear me talking, so I guess I don't need to cry much any more to get you to get me out of my crib.

M: I like it when you wake up happy Joash. It makes me happy, too.

J: I am glad, Mom.
M: So what things are new in your life, Joash?

J: Well, a few things. First, I have two teeth coming in on the bottom. They feel really weird though, so I like to rub my tongue and lip over them  a lot. The other big thing is that I am figuring out how to pull myself up to stand by things. Like the steps, the coffee table, the kitchen chairs, the bookshelf and you and Dad's legs. Getting down is a little bit trickier, but I am working on it. What is that you say, Mom? It would be easier to get down if I would bend my knees. I don't know, Mom? Putting my hand out and then falling back on my bum works just fine for me.


M: Anything else?

J: Well, I am also getting brave and standing by things with only one hand. I feel pretty grown up when I do this.

M: Are you walking around at all while you are standing?

J: That is a tricky thing too. I don't mind taking a few steps, but I would way rather get down and crawl to where I want to go.




M: Anything else you think people should know?

J: My new favorite things are things with wheels that roll when I push them. I just like turning the wheels some times. Tractors and cars are really cool, Mom!

M: I know Joash. I am glad you like them. You know the next we have an interview, you will be 1! I can't believe it!

J: Come on. I am growing up. That is what kids do.

Now that he's back, she's been praying for the chance to make things right, but she never expected God's answer to leave her flat on her face--literally--and up to her ears in meddling. When the younger sister Pete was separated from as a child shows up in Sleeping Grass with her eleven-year-old son, Pete is forced to face a past he buried long ago, and Wilma discovers her long-awaited chance at redemption may come at a higher cost than she's willing to pay. I really enjoyed this book. The characters in it were interesting and unique. While some thing...
