Milestones

Today the boys marked a few milestones:

-Joshua petted a kittycat for the first time
-Joshua ate an apple the "adult" way, by taking bites out of the whole fruit (well, he ate half of it with his little nibbles before I finally took it away!)
-David clapped his hands by himself for the first time! (He was SO cute, he held out his left hand in front of himself, palm up, and he looked at it for a moment or two, and then he took his right hand and started hitting his left hand with it, and then he just got this huge grin on his face, it seemed like he was so happy that he figured it out!)
-David's 4th tooth (his upper left incisor) is ALMOST through - but that will be a future milestone =)

Last night, Joshua and David played together the most agreeably I have ever seen. Joshua was very patient and inclusive with David and neither one of them was fussy at all, it was wonderfully peaceful and God's grace was so evident! The part I most enjoyed was when Joshua started reading David one of David's favorite books: it sounded somewhat like "Dis call Insah Fray Cho by Dah Cwews" in Joshua-ese ("This is called 'Inside Freight Train' by Donald Crews," in translation). He even turned the book for David to see the pictures! It was such a sweet moment.
