Cheeky Joshua

The other love of my life, Joshua, is a natural charmer. He communicates a lot more and certainly knows how to use his best assets to his advantage. He is so loving and clever and he says the cutest things all the time as well.

His ears are very sensitive and he hates really loud sounds/noises. At Joy's first piano recital, he turned to my Mum who was sitting next to him while the teacher was playing a piece rather loudly and said "Po Po (Grandma), can cry or not?". My Mum, a little surprised and oblivious to the pain he was suffering, said "No. Cannot." He nodded his head in silence and when he couldn't take it anymore, burst out laughing. Even Joy could recite this incident later on the phone to me.

It is so wonderful to see him grow into a more confident little boy and I can't wait to see or hear what "new sayings" he has up his sleeve the next time I see him. This is Joshua's journey:


















Now, onto the videos. The first is one of Mum feeding Joshua spicy curry at the age of one. He has a better appetite than Joy does as a baby, and would jump up and down for more. There are moments of realisation that the food is a little hot, but he digests it all, and then asks for more. The slight scratching of his head is the spice getting to him. Marvellous!



This is Joshua singing "Baa Baa Black Sheep" in his own way ... Priceless!!
