Things Joash Says

Oh to be 4. Some of the things Joash says and does really make us laugh. Here is a little smattering from the last few weeks.

Joash has suddenly decided that "working" at the desk in his room is really cool. Now when he wakes up in the morning, he looks out the window and then sits at his desk and draws me a picture. Yesterday he said,"I maybe a little late for school tomorrow, since I have to draw you a picture when I wake up in the morning."

*************************************
One day Wilbert let Joash sit on his lap in the tractor and help move the loader and steer. He then declared, "I am all growed up to be a man. I am great helper now for Daddy!"

*************************************
The other day I was getting after Joash for climbing on top of the kitchen table. 

"When can I climb up on a table, Mom?"
"When you have money and buy your own table." 
"But that won't work. There isn't any room for another table."
"Well, you will have your own table in your own house someday."
"But I want to live with you forever, Mom."
*************************************

Meet Messy and Dessy Chessy, Joash's imaginary spider friends that he makes with his hands. They have been around for quite sometime. Dessy Chessy was named Kate at first, then Messy Westy. According to Joash, when it is Dessy Chessy birthday, this spider gets a new name. So I asked when Messy is getting a new name. "Well, Messy doesn't know you can change your name on your birthday."

And today he informed us that tomorrow or maybe Monday is Dessy Chessy's birthday and he will be getting a new name. Joash even went up to his room to consult his calender about what day really is Dessy Chessy's birthday.

He cracks me up

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.
