The boy is 5 today.
5.
he came into this world - surprise! - 20 months after his sister. and he was a big ole' bald melonhead.
(holy dark hair, Ali!)
Josh at 5 is a pretty awesome kid.
He is by far my best sleeper and by far my worst eater. but give him a pound of chicken wings and he'll go to town. or steak. yes, he's all boy, my child.
He is a superhero, a power ranger, a transformer.
He is a lego-maniac. and a Star Wars freak. He loves Webkinz and Xbox.
and is a master of the one-liner. some of his greatest hits:
#1:
"Wanna know something weird? My knee-pit stinks!"
#2:
Josh: Daddy, Britney Spears died.
Husband: No, she didn’t, Josh.
Josh: oh right, that was Moses (yes, that Moses. from the bible. because the two are so easily confused)
#3 (on the airplane):
“daddy! i just farted in my own face!”
#4:
husband: Josh, please don’t knee me in the balls, thanks.
emily, giggling: Daddy, what are balls? (giggle, giggle)
husband: they are the things underneath your penis.
josh: no, Daddy, those aren’t balls. they are poisonous beans.
#5:
Josh: Daddy, I will be Luke Skywalker. Who will you be?
Daddy: I’ll be Obi-Wan Kenobi
Josh: Okay, but if you see Darth Vader, don’t kill him….cuz he’s my dad.
i seriously could go all day with these...
Happy Birthday Joshua! :)

Hilarious. Can't wait until my little guy is 5 and starts with the boy-humour. Happy Birthday Josh and "mother's" day to you, Ali.
