Josiah sang his first "solo" special music. Actually, he just did the very end part of the song, but he did such a good job! His buddy Calvin asked him to sing with him and he came over to our house and helped Josiah with the song. So proud of him! I had to cut the video down to just a few seconds to get it to load, but I did get all of Josiah's part.

Josiah's Birthday!!!
Yes, it's hard to believe, but my little baby Josiah is no longer a baby...and hasn't been for some time now. He is EIGHT!!! I guess the eight part doesn't seem as unreal as the 3rd grade part. We are starting 3rd grade, yikes! I think he is ready academically, but he is still so much a "little" boy that it's hard to think of him as a 3rd grader.
He made a list of the things he wanted to do for his birthday. Since there wasn't going to be a big party, we tried to do as much of it as possible. Casey was off on Thursday (Josiah's birthday was actually on Friday) so we did our fun daytime stuff then. Josiah requested Chuck E Cheese's. So that's where we went. Some of the places like it are so crazy expensive, but I think I would actually consider Chuck E. affordable with the good coupon deals. We had a good time there. Yes, we. Casey and I played a few games together, too. :>)
Then we went to Half-Price books and let the boys pick out a few books and Josiah even picked out a used DS game. After that we came home so I could get ready for a meeting I had that night. Josiah did have one package that arrived that afternoon, so we let him open it.

Friday evening we celebrated with his birthday dinner. He asked to go to Chili's (these were all the same things we did for Ethan on his birthday), but it didn't take much to persuade him to eat a dinner of his choice at home. His first choice was tilapia (they love fish and we had just had salmon earlier in the week). Then next he wanted mac & cheese and hot dogs. His final decision? Hot dogs with buns and Mac&Cheese as the side order (his words). I went to the store on Friday to get groceries and his special dinner items and of course I forgot to buy hotdogs, buns and mac&cheese. Sheesh! When it's 100+ and you've got milk, etc. you can't just run back into the store and leave it, so I went all the way home, put away the cold stuff and went back out to the little grocery in town to get his stuff. He enjoyed his dinner and the cake and ice cream, too.
