Movies and Church

Joy has discovered movies!  She can now ask for them with the sign “movie” – it really is too cute!  Here she is entranced by Ponyo and Boo.

Joy hasn’t been to church in a really long time.  With Bella at home, we do all we can to keep Joy healthy because she loves to hug and kiss her Bella.  Church nursery is the LAST place on earth we want to take her.  But today, Bella is struggling.   I need to pay close attention to Bella, so I sent Joy with Jason to church.  He isn’t going to take Joy to nursery, but she is going!  Hope she behaves!  ;)

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Joy has beautiful hair!  Oh my goodness.  Love ya babe.

See n Learn

Cammie talked about this on her blog.  Then I went and checked it out.  I got so excited!  It is so similar to how we taught Joy to sign.   So I went ahead and got some materials from them.  Joy loves them!  She is doing fantastic with them!  Her speech therapist and developmental services teacher think they are great!  Yeah for Joy!  What a smart little girl you are!  And thanks Cammie for the link to such a great product.

And so it begins……

Joy’s Week

Joy is too cute!  Talking to the missionaries, playing with her babies, “helping” Kris exercise, talking on the phone, and playing with her sister makes for a fun life!

Lots more therapy pictures – giraffes are tall!  Painting and more painting!

 

Playing with Cousins

Cyndi came to visit!  Joy loved playing with her cousins – particulary Michael!  A tea party with Jessi before the cousins came. 

  

The junk food queen was in heaven with the Doritos!  The girls included her in their game of Red Rover.

 

Playing with Michael on the Trampoline and then at the park.

                                                                                                 I love you Michael!

There are times I wonder if Joy misses, on some deep level, her twin brother.  Days like yesterday really make me miss her brother too.

 

We wore her out!  What a great day!

 

Preschool Screening

AHHH!! My school district just called – in two weeks Joy has her preschool screening!  They called her Abigail – first thing we’ll have to fix :)

How did she get old enough for this?

Sweet and Crazy Joy

She took Bella’s hand and was teaching her how to read a book!  Love it!

 

Helping the paramedics with the gurney and pushing sister!

   

 

Joy and her very favorite thing in the entire world - “ki-cat!”

Safety First!

Joy loves being outside and going bye-bye!  She has figured out the front door and the back gate.  That is enough for this Mama’s heart to stop – often!!  So off  I went to Home Depot and found a few safety features.    So pull and lament all you want little one – you are now safe!  Thank goodness!!!  We love you Joy!  You are too smart for your own good.  :)

I love my sister!

Therapy is fun and LOOK!!!

Having a tea party with teddy bear!

 

 

LOOK!!  Look!  She has started, all on her own, I might add – trying to WALK up the stairs!  Oh my goodness I am proud of her!
