The Future Careers of Joshua
At the ripe old age of three, Joshua is currently researching various career options for his future employment. Here are the photos of his investigations thus far.
A Basket Case
Going anyplace with Joshua is a bit of an adventure. Yesterday, Joshua discovered a new place to squeeze himself into when we went grocery shopping
.
Motorcycle Boy Drives Through Shopping Center
Joshua loves vehicles of any kind and whenever he sees the bicycle section of the shopping center, he makes a bee-line for it, running as if a rabid dog were in close pursuit. When we were trying to leave the Big C shopping center the other day, Joshua saw these electric motorcycles for sale and couldn't resist. He couldn't actually drive it anyplace but in his imagination, I think he went quite far.
Playing in Daddy Car
One of Joshua's favorite activities is to get into our car (known as "Daddy car") and pretend to drive. I roll down the windows and let him play to his heart's content as the car sits parked in our carport. Sometimes he is going to the supermarket, sometimes to church, or sometimes he is just wearing Daddy's driving sunglasses and making "vroom" sounds. I think the following picture captures a bit of Joshua's joy in playing in Daddy car.
Tying the Apron Strings
I had finished drying off Joshua after his bath and sent him on his way
to find Mommy for his nightly post-bath naked hug. While he went and
did that, I went into his room to arrange a few things. Joshua burst
into the room, wanting to find his apron. This past year when we were
in the States, he had gotten an orange apron from the Home Depot (see previous post).
Joshua said, "I want to wear apron like Mommy". I helped him get the
apron over his head and barely restrained Joshua long enough to tie the
apron strings before he ran off to the kitchen to find Mommy who was
washing dishes in Mommy's apron. Mommy was wearing an apron so Joshua
thought he should wear his apron too. It didn't occur to him as
anything odd that he wasn't wearing anything except an apron.
Making Music
Joshua is developing into a little musician. Here are some photos and audio from his latest jam session. Click here to listen to Joshua sing the "Mommy Daddy" song. The lyrics go like this:
