After Emilia's morning nap, we headed to the park with water squirters. Playing in water is one of Josiah's favorite things, so it didn't surprise me when he said this is what he wanted to do on his birthday. The boys had a great time playing in the water and Emilia and I tried to stay cool in the shade. There was one small mishap when Micah tried to climb on the playground while wet...he slipped and busted his lip, but other than that, it was a fun way to spend the afternoon.
Here is Emilia hanging out and playing in the shade.
How ya like Micah's little spraying pose?
This is Josiah trying to spray me...unfortunately the sprayers wont spray toward the sidewalks.
Let's see...the other noteable thing about his birthday is the introduction of Blue Cold to our family. Josiah has been talking about getting a fish for about 9 months (I think it started when we went to a friends house after they had their baby and he saw their fish...that was nine months ago). Back then I told him that if he still wanted a fish when he turned 5 that we would get one. While we were in Iowa this summer he really liked his great grandpa's betta fish, "Hot Red," and decided he would get a blue one to name "Blue Cold." He hasn't stopped talking about it since Iowa, so on his birthday we trekked out to bring Blue Cold home. He is so excited about it! He called great grandpa to tell him about it and talked to him and great grandma for 20 minutes! We have Blue Cold in the shelves in the dining room to keep the cats away and every time Josiah walks by, he checks on him and gives me a progress report. "Blue Cold is just swimmin' around." "Blue Cold is hiding behind his plant." "Blue Cold is sleeping." "Blue Cold is just LOOKIN' at me!"
So, that's the birthday...the party post will be coming soon, as well as soccer adventures and more!
