Easter, roseola and rocking chair

Here is Joshua opening his ducky Easter basket and doing the egg hunt at church. The last picture is Joshua playing in the rocker that Daddy just refinished for him. The rocker was made for Gene by his great-grandpa Virgil Dexter. You may notice that Joshua seems to be polka dotted in the last photo. Joshua just came down with Roseola which is Latin for "spots that scare the pants off parents but don't really do anything else."

Little Easter Baby

Joshua has discovered the joys of Easter egg hunting. Actually he was just really excited to put things in his basket...eggs, rocks, a ball, bark dust...It's all great! Here is my little egg hunter at his very first Easter egg hunt. He got two eggs and a ball and has been happily playing with them ever since.

The toddler song

I just thought I'd post a link to a song that summs up my experience parenting Joshua.

The second picture is Joshua responding to the question, "Where are your pants?"

Learning to work with electronics

One of the things my daddy taught me as I was growing up was this: It is always important to have a hammer when working with electronics just to scare them into line. Joshua appears to have inherited this trait.

Playing with Daddy

Joshua is wearing Daddy's socks. He kept trying to put them on so we decided to help him. Daddy was hiding under the bed when Joshua walked by. Surprise!
