One of the stories that they read was of the Lost Sheep {Luke 15:1-10}. After reading Matt left the room and I was sitting on the couch next to Joseph. He was so intent on looking at the pictures of the story when I noticed that he had tears running down his cheeks. He was so concerned about that one lost sheep. We then had a good discussion about how much God loves us and would search for us if we went astray {and how much He loves those who have not yet found Him}. And oh the joy and celebration that comes when we return to The Shepherd!! This Mother's prayer is that her little guy will always have a heart for the lost and that he would not stray from the Lord, but if he does, that he will remember how much Jesus loves him and return knowing the joy that it will bring to the Lord {and to those who love him so}!<br />

<br />
Nearly two weeks ago Joseph decided that he was officially a "Big Boy" and he gave up his pull-ups in exchange for pooping on the potty. This has been a long, long, long, long {did I say LONG??}time coming. He has been peeing on the potty for over a year and a half but for whatever reason was afraid to poop on the potty. We made a very big deal of this accomplishment having a special movie night and eating lots of chocolate chip cookies to celebrate! Joseph also made a few phone calls to a few special people letting them know that he "pooped on the potty!" He was so proud of himself! A BIG thank you to those who got the "I pooped call" for playing it up and acting just as excited as we were...you rock!<br />
<br />
Way to go Joseph and so long pull-ups! <br />

Last night we spent some time looking at pictures and videos from when Joseph was itty bitty. When we came across this one from our "gotcha" day...Joseph said "Mommy, I was praying!" It warmed my heart because on that very special day we were surely thanking God for this very special gift that He blessed us with and we continue to thank Him every day!Juliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11657887958915873250noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3963180014732146449.post-14995067536470773712014-01-07T12:59:00.000-05:002014-01-07T12:59:10.248-05:00His First Crush!We recently went to our good friends house to hang out and Joseph was BEYOND excited! He kept telling me all day long that he was going to tell his friend that he loves her and that he was going to give her a kiss. I told him that he could tell her he loves her but no kissing! ♥ These two went on several "adventures" that evening and had a blast spending time together.<br />

This little boy amazes me! Yesterday he fell down a flight of stairs and landed face first on a slate floor causing his front two top teeth to move {Ouch}!! Today he went to the dentist {for the first time} so they could check out his new smile and he did awesome! The dentist wiggled his front teeth {Matt and I squirmed in our chairs watching} but Joseph didn't even flinch. He even let them take an x-ray which he could see instantly on a big screen and said "that's cool!"</div>
