Flying High

Josiah (almost 3) thinks he is Spiderman.  Like, seriously.  What’s funny about this is that he has never seen the Spiderman movies (what kind of a parent do you think I am??), so this obsession started only by seeing pictures of him.  Even in Tanzania, Spiderman is present on backpacks, shirts, and even sold in inflatable form on the side of the road.  So somehow, just by seeing him, with that superhero gene that is present in little boys, Josiah figured out that this is a guy he wanted to be like.  Last week Daddy finally let him see some flying scenes from the actual movie (I guess we are those kind of parents), and now the obsession is in full force. 

Spiderman even helped Josiah to overcome his fear of jumping in the water.  As you can see, when he is Spiderman, he is unstoppable. 

The sad part is, that according to Josiah, Spiderman does not kiss his mommy.  Actually, he says, Spiderman does not have a mommy.   However, also according to Josiah, he does go pee in the toilet.  That is very good news. 

(and he does still kiss me anyway)

Some Things I Bet You Didn’t Know

Grace:  Mommy, when we see Bibi and Babu again, can they take us to South America?  But it’s far away.  We could go on a blimp.  But only if there are no dogs.  And catfish.

Grace:  Mommy, all of the princesses are vanilla.  Except for Jasmine and Tiana.  They are chocolate.

Mommy:  Josiah, don’t bite your fingernails.

Josiah:  But I am chocolate.

Grace:  When you die, you go to heaven.  Except if you want to go up to the sky, you can also use pixie dust.

Grace:  When Josiah turns three, he will be OUT of football and INto dolls.

Grace to Josiah:  Let’s pretend that I am your big sister and you are my little brother.

Grace to Mommy:  When we get a new little brother, let’s name him Spartacus.

Grace to Daddy after our beach trip:  When you get sunburned, you will look like us [Grace and Josiah]!

Josiah to our very pregnant friend:  Your tummy looks like mine!

Grace to Mommy:  Look!  Shirley Temple has tattoos just like Annie!!!  [that would be…tap shoes]

Mommy:  Josiah, why are you so cute?

Josiah:  Because I am a pokey thing.

Mommy:  What?  You are cute because you are a pokey thing?  What does that mean?

Grace:  I know!  It means he is a cactus.  Right, Josiah?

Josiah:  Yeah!

World Cup Artistic Expression

Two days ago, Daddy did this to Josiah’s hair:

With the express purpose of doing this to him:

Can you tell what team we are rooting for??? 

The Results are In

You could say that Daddy had a “pretty good” time in South Africa.

And Josiah scored his own goals!  Go Josiah!  Yay for saving money on diapers!

Grace: 4 1/2, Josiah: 2 1/2
