Joshua Is In The Bible

K and I have talked about how sure we are that E is going to one day ask us why there is no book of Emma in the bible. (She is not one who will be left out of anything. She fights fiercely to be included, and even when she's not sure what's going on, she jumps right in anyway.) So since there's the book of Joshua in the bible, surely there must be the book of Emma.

That day has come.

J wanted to hear about Joshua from his bible at bedtime this evening. And E was watching and listening. So when I flipped the book open to start on the story, she pointed to the picture on the page preceding it, and said (loudly), "Me!"

When I tried to point out that she was actually pointing to Moses, she indignantly insisted, "MEEEEE!"

So yes, my daughter now thinks that Moses is about her, and perhaps more importantly, that she actually precedes Joshua in the bible.

It's been ages since they've been in a pool! But our hotel in Carlsbad (where we were over the weekend) had a heated pool and sunny weather. So it was perfect. E the water baby threw a fit when it was time to come out. (Actually she throws a fit everyday when I tell her it's time to come out of the bath. She's going to miss the bathtub so much when we get back to Singapore.)

First game of Jenga!
(The kids were more excited about having the blocks collapse, so that became the point of the game.)
