So on the negative side, Mr. Man has started picking up some tendencies towards fibbing. Now, he is only 23 months...2 years in a couple weeks....we won't talk about that just yet!....but we are going to cut him a little slack as he explores the world. A year from now, not so acceptable!
Art was the first to notice. Joshua was working around in the living room and was getting into quite the mess. Art approached him and asked him what was going on and who was responsible for such a big mess. What does Joshua do, "Masey". Yep, he blamed the dog. Round one of fibbing. Poor Mas has been blamed for a lot, many things that she is in fact guilty. However, this current mess was not one of her problems.
Last week, we were getting ready for bed and I could not locate Joshua's toothbrush anywhere. Looked high, low, nothing. Maybe my kid is unlike most, but he hates, and I mean HATES, to get his teeth brushed. So I was bit suspicious. He joined in the search and was giving an occasional, "Hmmm." As in, "Where could that be?" Meanwhile I'm thinking, "Geez, he's a good actor!" I then asked, "Joshua, were in the world is your toothbrush??!!" as the frustration was building. "Hiding" was his response. A current favorite for anything that is not in plain view, animals, toys, food, whatever. "Joshua, I don't think it is hiding, tell Mommy, what happened to your toothbrush." Pause-Long Silence- and then knowingly looks up at me and with a calm, certain voice, "Jesus". Yes, he blamed the Lord for his lost toothbrush. I'm sure the heavens got a good laugh out of that one!
Again, this is one that we will have to keep working on although it is funny what he is coming up with these days. Oh, and the toothbrush. It was found under one of the guest bedroom's dresser drawers. Caught the little stinker looking at in there the next day.
