Finally I've managed to catch a few moments peace to update you on what has been happening recently. Let's hope I manage to get finished before being interupted.
Life seems to be slowly falling back into a routine after the Christmas/New Year period. We continue to go to playgroup once a week, which Joshua still enjoys imencely & I'm enjoying more as I finally make a few friends. Our monthly Bible study continues with more attending which makes for a bit more lively discussion. I have also just found out about & started attending an expat womens group.
Joshua is growing & developing at an unbelievable rate. It's a real pleasure & delight to see him gaining new skills. It is also a challenge to try & keep one step ahead of him (literally, he can just about out run me now & has learnt to dodge & change directions). He can climb up & down of all sorts of things & has learnt to use it to his advantage when wanting to reach something out of his reach. We have also definately hit the toddler years with a bang. It's seems almost overnight he developed a real stubborn determination to see just how far he can push the boundaries & testing what methods will & won't work. Language development is also going ahead in leaps & bounds with him trying to copy a lot of what he hears & acquiring new sounds & "words" almost daily. He loves making all the animal sounds, & just this week has also started saying "VROOM" when riding his trike or playing with his cars & trucks. One of the really delightful things to see developing is his eagerness to help with things. He loves helping to unload the dishwasher & even knows which cupboards & drawers things go in without being told. He is also a good helper with the washing & one day even collected a pile of towels I had left lying on the floor & put them in the machine!!
Well it seems my time is up for now. Will try & get back soon to tell a bit more.
