Running and Wrestling

There is no good way to photograph running, so you will have to check it out with your own eyes... but Joshua IS running! This is so so exciting because he when he arrived home (just 2 and a half months ago) he was still unsteady walking. Tonight I watched him tear off across a rough grassy field. When Joshua runs he chants "Faster! Faster!" and pumps his arms like crazy.

Thank you Jesus for Joshua's strong legs, fast feet, and improving balance!

Daddy and Joshua had a good wrestling match this evening.



Joshua says he won!

*** Daddy's Joshua story of the day....
Joshua and Momma came into the office this morning. Soon after arriving, Joshua asked Daddy to check on the 4-wheeler. So Daddy thought they would take a quick peak and then come back into the office to get some work done with Momma. When they got to the part of the shop that the 4-wheeler stays in Joshua asked Daddy for a ride. Daddy explained that he did not have Joshua's helmet. Joshua quickly commanded Daddy to "Come with me!" He brought Daddy out of the shop to Momma's macheena (car). He went to the back end and asked Daddy to "open it, pleas." Daddy opened the back and Joshua was thrilled to show him that the 4-wheeler helmet was inside. Daddy was shocked, he had no idea that Momma and Joshua had put the helmet inside 5 days ago. But Joshua remembered! And yep, he got a 4-wheeler ride from Daddy.

Joshua Gebeyehu Chad is one smart cookie!
