That afternoon we went to Pump It Up with some friends to play.
The next night, Adam didn't have to work, so we had our little family celebration after dinner. I made Josh a Thomas the Tank Engine birthday cake, which he loved.
Josh got a new bike for his birthday. He's not so sure about it yet. He still prefers to ride his tricycle, but hopefully by the time the weather cools down in a couple months, he'll be ready to try out his new bike again.
Josh has been in speech therapy for a year now, and Adam and I can see lots of improvement. He still has issues with beginning and ending consonant sounds, but he'll continue working on it as he does speech therapy again for another year. We're also excited for him to start preschool in the fall. Josh loves to play with his trains and his cars. He can play for hours running his trains and cars back and forth along his tracks, reciting the stories and phrases from the various Thomas the Tank Engine episodes he likes to watch. He likes to wrestle with Lucy, which sometimes she enjoys and sometimes she doesn't. He is very concerned when she cries and tries his best to take care of her and get her bottle for her when she is upset. He likes to build block towers and do puzzles and he loves playing with Mama and Daddy.
Here are some of his 4-year-old pictures.
We love Josh and are so glad we have him in our family!

Happy Birthday, Josh!!! I love the cake you make- you have a wonderful talent!!!
Lisa,
Love the cake! What did you use for the train track beams? I am finding that kids love having toys on cakes, which makes it so much easier to decorate sometimes.
Thank you! They are sticks of gum that I cut to size and painted with dark corn syrup mixed with a little black food coloring.
