Josh has learned so much ... he can count by 2's and "almost" tie his shoes; he can count to 100 and beyond; he can count by 5's and 10's; he can sleep without a pull-up and dress himself after his shower; he can ride a horse, go on a biscuit behind a speedboat and go down on the luge almost faster than Daddy; he can read and write little stories; he has learned the confidence to dance with expression and sometimes even sing; he has slowly learned that it is okay to not always win (although he still likes to); he now coughs into his elbow and is way more aware of swine flu than any other illness! He can run faster and further than last year and lives for exercise and outdoor activity; he has learned to walk in the school corridor and not run; he now finally eats almost all of his school lunch; he can fly on a plane over to the UK and beyond and see some wonderful new places; he can build a bonfire on the beach and cook marshmallows; he can run a mile and has a medal to prove it! He can swim a length or two in the swimming pool and has a great backstroke action; he can play lots of various board games and especially loves Monopoly and Backgammon; he quite often reminds us that "you get what you get and you don't get upset"; he has made some special friends and has been lucky to have had 2 lovely teachers this year who have helped him so much. Yes, it has been a good year .... we have so much to be thankful for.
And now Christmas is over, summer is here. We have got so much fun to have - a trip up north, mountains to climb and seas to swim in; tracks to walk and tracks to bike; ice-creams and popsicles to eat whenever we want to; barbeques on the beach and sunsets to watch. So c'mon everyone, let's embrace the excitement of holidays and summer and remind ourselves just how lucky we are.
Goodnight to everyone as midnight 'hits' and the New Year & New Decade begin. I have a feeling that 2010 is going to be a great year for us.
