Josie and Me

Delphia's first day of preschool was yesterday and it was Shane's day off. So, today was the first day that we were on our own. I got a sample of being alone with Josie without Delphia a couple weeks ago when Delphia went to Grandma camp one evening and the next day went to Kung Fu Panda 2 with Aunt Amanda.

I saw a funny side of Josie who loved the one on one time and a really cute silly girl with a fun personality.

I was trying to get her to say cheese, but she was being shy and leaning on the bed.

Love this picture! You have to ignore the red mark on her chin. Yesterday we dropped Phia off at preschool and we came home and Josie put the butterfly net over her head and was walkinh around. The handle hit something and knocked her over and it hit her on the chin and left the lovely mark.

I absolutely am in love with this girl. There is something about the blonde curly hair and those blue eyes that just melt my heart!

She played with the whistle....

Then she looked at a book....

Played with the train set....

Took some pictures....and then we went to get Delphia. Everytime I would tell her to say cheese she would pit the camera to her eyes, even though it was upside down and say, "Cheese!"

I was trying to get her to say some words that she uses all the time but she was really into her book. She uses what I call useless words. She can say apple, Elmo, book, outsides, downstairs etc, but she won't say milk, more, nap etc that she could use to communicate.

The words she says are: Josie, Dada, Mama, cheese, eat, play, flower, baba, sticks, up, Elmo, book, balloon, fish, baba, belly, ear, eye, head,monkey, nana, cookie and quite a few others.

She knows where her eyes, head, tongue, nose, belly and mouth are.

She loves to climb on chairs and if she falls she doesn't want sympathy, she wants you to put her down so she can climb again.

She loves to tease her sister and I think she runs the roost in that sister relationship. It's not uncommon for Delphia to be crying because Josie took something.

She is a picky little eater and hardly eats anything and still gets a bottle at naptime and bed. Sometimes the things she will eat really suprise me. She likes pizza quesadillas, eheat this sticks, apples, grapes, pringles, raisins and bananas. She loves anything sweet especially licorice, preferably Red Vines. She doesn't really like sandwiches, bread, meat, cheese or pretty much anything.
