We've been
reading the Faraway Tree to Josh and Hannah in the evenings, which Josh especially just loves! One evening
Josh told me, while they were doing their teeth, "I know what the next
part is. Moon Face gets into a fix." I had read the next chapter heading
to him the previous evening, and he remembered it exactly, even though its not
language that we would typically use. He really is loving this book! He almost
always also wants me to read a second chapter.
And his powers of reasoning really impress me! This kind of thing happens often, where he can predict what is going to be happening next. One example was the children had gone to the Land of Dreams, and after the Sandman puts them to sleep they wake up and strange things start happening. So I asked Josh what he thought was happening, and he had figured out that they were in a dream! And he does that kind of thing over and over!
When we were
driving home from school and about to turn into Boom street Josh told me we
needed to turn right and then he also told me, as I was turning right, what all of
our other turns would be. And except for the very last one he was completely
right! He must have developed a bit of a map in his mind!
Josh told us
that Aunty Veronica comes on Mondays and Thursdays. He is so aware of
everything around him.
A big event for Joshua - his first tooth fell out!
Such a cute boy!
