Josh,
You are soon going to be 3 years old.  I have enjoyed you as a son and have been worn out by you, too.  You keep momma very busy cleaning messes, but one day, I'll look back and wish I was cleaning up whole canisters of chocolate cocoa from the living room floor while you hold your little coffee cup with 1/3 cup of water and 2/3 cup of cocoa saying "Look I made hot chocolate"  I laugh when I think of some of the things you do.  (Not at the time though)  Like the time you smeared my $15 tube of lipstick all over your face and said "Look, I'm pretty momma"  Then when you see my face quickly turn red you say "It's OK momma, I'm pretty" How can I not cherish those memories?  Or when you get food out of the fridge and try to make your own sandwich.  (What a mess) What can I say? You keep momma on her toes.  Not a dull day here (except of course when you are at your daddy's.  Then I miss yall) Another funny time was when you decided to take the $40.00 wagon for a ride down the hill.  You crashed into the bushes and broke the wagon wheel and said "I wanna do it again Momma"
