Dave and I were looking through costumes back in August when Joshua saw them. I figured maybe a pirate like Captain Feathersword or a cowboy.. but Josh saw the knight and was hooked. For months we had been hearing that he was going to be a "knight in shining armor". Dave was teasing him telling him only if mama buys the costume. So I ordered it and darn it if he isn't the best looking knight in shining armor ever!
This is the first year he is really interested./excited about any of the holidays. His birthday was the first (of course he wants a birthday like... every day!). So Halloween was fun.. mostly. He went to one door, knocked, said Trick or Treat and really he was done. We did go to about 10-15 houses... but once he did it, it was done. He doesn't eat much candy so there isn't that aspect. I have really tried to keep most of that away - he loves fruit so why give candy?
Daycare is over for now. Bronchitis and Pneumonia in the course of 2 months, then he got another cold (which didn't turn bad thank goodness!) . I don't want him on a antibiotic all winter so we nixed it. It's not like we need to put him in. He has two wonderful grandparents who love him to death and take care of him every day. This was just for some social skills. He did love it, but his health definitely comes first.
So the next thing we wait for is the cardiologist in January. His pulmonologist seems to think the murmur is getting worse.. I am praying that it's not, but we will see. All we can do is wait and hope that this, like everything else is another bump in Joshua's road.
We are going away for Thanksgiving. Renting a cabin in the woods in Vermont with friends. It's going to be a wonderful time. I am sure the next post will not be until after that. So have a wonderful holiday all. I give thanks just about every day - for my friends, my family and especially my wonderful, beautiful miracles (my children). I am truly blessed. We are especially thankful at Thanksgiving. So, be thankful for all of the great things that you have in your life and try not to dwell on the negative.

You guys are going to have such an awesome Thanksgiving!! I'm thinking next year Jay will be more into the holidays. He's almost got it but not quite :) We'll see how Christmas goes. Love you my friend. xoxoxoxo
Ana- Josh wasn't really interested in any of the holidays until his birthday this year... so he was 3 before any interest. Jay will get there! God he is so cute and getting so big so quick...Love you too baby!
