Week of Whines

"Josiah must be teething.
No, I think he's going through a growth spurt.
Actually, you know what?
He's got to be sick!"  

This is the conversation I've been having with myself lately.  Josiah, the perpetually easy-going, jovial boy, has let it be known through wails, whimpers, and whines that life is not his friend this week!   Apparently, his meltdown last week was just foreshadowing for the days to come!   Meanwhile, mommy is just asking the Lord for lots of wisdom to be able to meet this little boy's needs.

Due to Josiah's new nature, yesterday was turning out to be a strictly baby-holding day.  However, Josiah finally found solace in the presence of some stuffed-animal friends, while I did some much needed mending!  Four repaired holes, a hem, and a button later... he was still content--bliss! Jake can testify to this as he came home and caught Josiah furry-handed.  He literally had dog fur all over his hands.  Here are (rather poor) pictures as proof... 

I also had to perform surgery on one of his puppies. 
(Seriously, the puppy had a gaping hole in its neck!)

The dog on the right would be, "Bo'.  
That's right, a replica of the Obama's dog!
