Joshua Todd Hathcock Joshua is my little angel. Yes, even though he is now officially in the terrible twos, I still call him my angel. He was born June 26, 1996. He weighed in at 8 pounds 15 ounces. Until we moved to Japan, he hardly said a word. Now he has the most amazing vocabulary. His first sentence was when he got hungry. He asked, "Where we going?" He was mad because we were driving away from his favorite place to eat - Burger King. One of my favorite times with Joshua is while I prepare a meal. He comes into the kitchen and visits with me. He has a wonderful way of seeing the world. Sometimes I forget to slow down and enjoy the little things. Joshua is always there to remind me how wonderful everyday is.   Joshua loves to test the boundries. His most resent thing is to wake up in the middle of the night and do all those things that he is not allow to do during the day. These things include using kitty liter to pour all over the carpet and pretent that it is carpet freshiner, taking all the CDs out of the sterio and hiding them through out the house, and, his favorite, testing the capacity of the toilet. Other fun things he likes to do is get ahold of tools and "fix" things around the house. Everyday is an adventure with Joshua. And, I thank God for everyday that I am bless to be able to stay at home with him and his brothers.     Joshua is a beautiful little boy. I hope you enjoy the pictures I have include of him.

You never ever pee in your juice cup and give it to mommy just because you don't want to go all the way to the bathroom. 2. If mom won't let you do something during the day, you still aren't allowed to do it at 4am while mom is in bed. 3. Air freshener is not industrial size breath freshener. 4. If you need a ladder or step stool to get something, you really shouldn't be playing with it anyways. 5. STP Gas Treatment is not a body moisturizer or edible. Also, it is really slippery. 6. Batteries are not edible. 7. Carpet freshener and kitty litter are two different things. 8. It is always a good idea to wear underwear or a diaper when you play rough with the cat. 9. Babies do not like championship wrestling. 10. Repeatedly turning mommy's computer on and off makes mommy's head explode. 11. If you store you money in the VCR, you never get your money back. 12. If you test your boundaries in public, you find your self confined in the car. 13. The toilet can not swallow large amounts of toilet paper at a time. This hold true for toys too. 14. Painting the wall with mommy's make up is not cool. 15. Cats are picky. They don't like being picked up by their tales. 16. If you are going to fall down the stairs, try not to do it right before a box bigger than you are falls down the stairs too. 17. The best plan is not one that anyone would suspect. It is always best to come up with new and creative things.   He had a busy year. :) Being a little boy is hard work.
