Daria’s Life

His two front teeth!!

I don’t know what it is about little boys and bodily sounds but they think everything is hysterical! Today Joshy was priding himself on making some very loud burping and tooting sounds. I said “Joshua, please don’t do that. You’re teaching Noah how to do yucky things. I need you to be a good example.”
So […]

At lunch today we’ve been making paper crowns together for each of the kids. They LOVE doing this activity and making their crowns look adorable. During the process Joshua looks at me thoughtfully and says “Mom, you’re the best woman I’ve ever met!”
It felt like a huge parent payday to me. Thanks for filling […]

It’s morning, and moments before school starts. Joshua is still not ready. I say in a pleasant voice “son, hurry go get ready you’re going to be late.”
his reply…
“I don’t want to be your son if you talk to me like that!!” - in the most dramatic tone, he could have been on a […]

Well finally after many months of waiting our Joshy went in for his Tonsil and Adenoid removal last Friday. Joshua was diagnosed with sleep apnea and we’re really hopeful that this will allow him to feel more rested in the morning, as well as allow more oxygen to his brain and body. It’s been a […]

I’m going to have to write a book full of Joshua-isms. Today he was telling me “Mom, your old school friends must miss you. I don’t think they would recognize you now.”
“oh why is that?” I said
“Because you’re still beautiful, but you’re old!”

Today Joshua was in the van with me and this is the conversation that transpired - I swear!! I rushed home so I wouldn’t forget a word of this. You have to understand, this kid is the most hilarious creature I’ve ever met. The stuff that comes out of his mouth totally shocks me sometimes. […]

Strap yourselves in for another hilarious Joshua story. The other day he walks up to me (very serious, sporting his intense look).
Joshy -”Mommy you know what?”
Me - “What honey?”
Joshy - “People with tattoos belong in jail…never trust a person with tattoos…they can’t be trusted!”
Mmm, I guess I shouldn’t get that teddy bear tattooed on my […]

After picking Joshy up from school for lunch today, I trying to engage him in discussion about his morning at school. This is what transpired:
Me - “Joshy, I missed you this morning. What did you do in your class today?”
JJ - “I can’t remember”
Me - “Well honey, just think about it for a minute […]

Joshy accidentally knocked out his bottom front tooth tonight. It was slightly wiggly already but he hit it on the tap while brushing his teeth (he was acting a bit wild!). Needless to say he was thrilled to lose that tooth. As he climbed into bed tonight he exclaimed “Come on Tooth Fairy!! Show me […]
