This kid is adorable

I am completely loving the 4 year old Joshua. He LOVES getting new chores - if you ask him to do something around the house, he complains, but if you call it a chore he gets super excited. His newest chore is giving Ruby food and water - which honestly makes me life easier. (I recently gave a friend a shower and we had a nautical theme - I purchased 4 beta fish that were used in centerpieces. So now we have 4 beta fish - that Joshua wishes I'd let him feed, but I'm too afraid he'd knock their little bowls... We are however in need of someone to put these fish on their kitchen counter and feed them while John comes up to Montana... any takers???) I just love him being a big boy.

Aunt Lori and Uncle Haws took Joshua to see UP last Saturday night - and I have to tell you my favorite story from the night. As mentioned numerous times, Joshua is a talker. Lori told me that he was asking questions the entire movie. Before the movie started they did the "In case of an emergency, please walk to the nearest exit" announcement. Joshua questions,

"what's an emergency?"
"something like a fire"
"where's there a fire"
"there's no fire, just in case there is one"
"well why's there going to be one?"

the movie starts and he continues with his 20 questions, Haws even threatens leaving the theater if he can't be quiet.

Then apparently there is an actual fire in the movie and Joshua turns to Lori and asks..
"Oh no, do we have to find the nearest exit?"
