We're Gonna Need A Bigger Sandbox

 

On October the 8th, we received a call from our agency about a foster placement.  She is 2 and fits right in with our family.  She comes with the 2 yr old "Nos" and an oscar winning pouty face, but she also has the best giggle and laugh!  Joshua and her are getting a long quite well for both of them living as an only child.  We are especially proud of Joshua.  He has done a great job with her and sharing his toys!  She does have toys of her own, but being the younger one, she wants to be where Joshua is and doing or play with anything that Joshua has or is doing.  This morning, they were outside playing very well together, a little too well, because it was quite.  I look out the window and see the picture above.  The two of them crowded together in this tiny sandbox, playing!  They played in the sandbox for awhile.  It was fun to watch them out there playing and running around together. 

Golfing Around

Joshua is still going strong at The Little Gym!  He absolutley loves this place!  We love it to.  All the instructors are super nice and seem like they really enjoy what they do!  I  love the fact that all the way across the gym is all windows, so we are able to watch and take pictures!  Joshua is going twice a week now and instead of doing all tumbling, we decided to enroll him in a sports class.  This class is on Mondays, and 30 mins is about sports and the other 30 mins is tumbling or games.  The first 4 weeks was soccer and now they are learning the fundamentals of Golf(every 4 weeks is a new sport)!  I didn't take any pictures of the soccer session, but here are some pics of him practicing his putting skills.  I love that they are learning the fundamentals of each sport.  It gives them a nice base of what each sport is and how it works, so maybe later on it will help them decide what sport to play(if they want to play a sport).

 

The first picture up top is Ms. Ashley helping Joshua with his putting skills.  They really show them how to grip the club and how to stand, etc.

 

The picture right below is Joshua showing off his mad putting skills.  I really thought it would frusturate him if he didn't get the ball in the hole on the first try, but he seemed to do really well and kept trying.

Joshua is still enjoying his tumbling class on Wednesday nights!  He loves that he gets to go to TLG twice a week.  It is a needed change from all of his therapies that he goes to during the week.  TLG is NO work and ALL play!
