My Day Lilies & Snacking Outside

My Day Lilies

My day lilies have more red blooms today. Still no big Joshua blooms.

Snacking Outside

I want to eat my snack outside again today.

Naomi, and My Voice

Monday, June 29th, 2009

Naomi
Naomi is very nice to me. She should sit beside me to tell her stories.

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

Naomi, continued
My friend Naomi talks to me and tells me about books she reads. Sometimes they are very funny.

My Voice
I like to use my voice. Sometimes people understand one word. I say whole sentences and stories and songs. But you do not know what I say. I do not type the same words I speak. I do not repeat. Birds sing and people hear and enjoy even if they do not know what they say. People can be happy even if they are ignorant. I am happy though I still want you to know.

My Responsibilities, Gardening, Icelandic Architecture, Bedtime

Sunday, June 28th, 2009

My Responsibilities
I have a lot of responsibilities, Ms Deb. I put away my bed sheet and blankets. I put away my RP tubing. I feed my fish. I take laundry to the laundry room. Those are all early in the morning. I also go potty and help to dress myself. And I pull out chairs at mealtimes. I do lots of things my family needs me to be helpful.

Gardening
But I do not grow my food only pumpkins and day lilies. My day lilies are yellow and orange and red and yellow. The big Joshua day lilies are not blooming yet this year.

Icelandic Architecture
Houses in Iceland have grass growing on them. They are made of sod, which is thick soil and grass. Newer homes there are concrete or stone. A few are wood. When they attached toilets to the houses, many people would go at the same time. It was a communal activity.

Bedtime
Please put my plate in the dishwasher. I need my RP vest to lie down for bed.

Friday 11:30 AM

A long time in my room is over soon.

Respiratory marathon is followed by lunch, patterning, and clambering. Then I put on my harness so I can roll and cartwheel and jump.

I want a lunch now. I would love to have some sweet potato.

Rocks I like, and Today is an Anniversary?

Rocks I like
I rock I like is kayanite. I like slate too. And tigers eye. Slate and kayanite are dark and strong but you can do things to them. You can scratch words or pictures on them. Tigers eye can be polished to look pretty.

Today is an Anniversary?
Daddy is talking about war. Today is the anniversary of the end of World War. No Daddy says that is not right. It was a battle on a big island. I was wrong again, except for the big part. The battle of Little Big Horn was in 1876.

Diurnal Creatures, Salmon for Dinner & More Clambering

Wednesday, June 24, 2009

Diurnal Creatures
Ms Patty a word for daytime active creatures is diurnal, I think.

Salmon for Dinner
Dinner is ready for me to eat now. Gramma will help me eat please.
A fish I like best is salmon. It is pink and delicious.
Mommy, you should eat your oatmeal. with raisins.

More Clambering
A time to play more is now. Daddy, more play on the clamber board with me, please.

World War 2 Airplanes

Dear Isaiah,
My daddy has a lot of World War 2 DVDs and books. We watch and read about it because his daddy was a soldier in it. Today I read about B17 Flying Fortresses and B24s and Thunderbolts. But Mustangs are the planes named after wild horses. They had longest range and were called Little Friends.

Father's Day, Baseball, White Star & Food

Sunday 21 June 2009

Father's Day

Daddy we are fun friends. I love you. The bird is yours too. Joshua

A family of friends is splendid. Everyone should love.

Saturday 20 June 2009

Baseball

Dear Kyli's grandparents, I know a little about baseball, but I do not have a favorite team. I watch DVDs not baseball games on TV. Why does Kyli like Yankees best?

Friday 19 June 2009

Answers to questions about White Star: A Dog on the Titanic by Marty Crisp

Sam was rich. He would go in fancy parts of ship. Star was a good swimmer. I would save all the dogs. They are good. Sam and Jack will like each other. Jack is nice to Sam. Help! I need a ride to NY.

Food

Take my food to my plate and let me eat it.

Emma & Amy, Eating, Copper, New Harness

Emma's Letter, Drawing & Gift for me
Ms Amy is good emma is nice She gives and draws for me.

Eating
MAMAM MAMA MAMA I eat now please

Copper for Jodi & Kyli
Copper is supposed to be in all of us. But it can be too little, a deficiency, or too much, a toxicity. Anemia like symptoms are common in deficiency.

New GFE Harness
I like to go in my new harness for jumping and rolling up high off the floor.

Guitars, Copper, Masking, Running, Potatoes

Guitars
Mister Johnnie, I know a little about guitars now. Acoustic ones are hollow and they are onlyloud because of the sound in there. Electric ones are loud because they are plugged in to loudamplifyingspeakers. Both types have strings and bodies and they are plucked or strummed.

Copper
I think I need to research copper for Ms Jodi and Kyli. The dog in the DVD called The Fox and the Hound was named Copper but I know you want to know about the metal. Copper is a transitional metal element on the periodic table. It is Cu. Ms Jodi I will look fun more research on copper for you.

Masking, Running
Masking is how I breathe deeply and quickly. Other kids run around and act silly to breathe deep. I will run too one day and race Daddy.

More Potatoes
I love more potatoes. I will eat eleven tonight.

Poem for Daddy

Daddy's red car coming up the driveway
is the very best part of my whole day.

I know that very soon we will play.
And it will be all night he does not go away.

Favorite Foods, Underwear & Guitars

Favorite Foods
A smoothie snack of pears and almonds is great. I want it now please. My favorite foods are salmon and squash and venison and sweet potatoes and collards and rice and okra and aduki beans. I like millet but Mommy does not give me it puffed. Rice is puffed when the power is out. We eat cold food in the dark then.

Underwear
I like to wear underwear like Daddy. They are white and cloth and dry. And they have special holes. It takes skill to use them.

Guitars
Guitars are musical instruments I need to research.

Insects, Arachnids, Joseph & Television

Insects & Arachnids
Dear Aunt Brenda,
I like arachnids better than insects. They eat insects and other spiders too. An insect I do like is the praying manitis. It is a killer too. A male mantis is luck if the female does not eat his head. They will eat anything they are so hungry. Insects would take over the whole earth if arachnids and other creatures did not hungrily devour them. Maybe we should eat them too.

Joseph continued
Joseph has God on his side and in his heart. He will be freed and be a successful man. After two years the cupbearer remembered him and Pharoah freed him. He told him God's meaning of his dreams. Joseph told Pharoah they should store up food. He made Joseph his vizier. He was in charge of storing the food during the seven fruitful years and rationing it during the 7 years of famine. He got a ring and a necklace from Pharoah.

Television's place
The television should be there. Just for watching DVDs it should be there.

Father's Day Card for Papa Vince

Happy Fathers Day.

You are my Mommy's Daddy. A good one.

Papa Vince I love you.

A dragon is what I drew for Papa Vince.

It is not real. It breathes fire.

Poem for Violeta

Poems are fun to write

but mostly I think them in my head at night.


A line that rhymes is very fine

but eating is the best use of my time.

Plastic Brains, Art DVDs, Cement Mixers, Food

Plastic Brains?
An ability in the brain to change and do new things is called plasticity. Brain doctors are called neurologists and brain plasticity is sometimes called neuroplasticity.

Art DVDs
A Great Courses DVD about art does not have enough art in it. Bruegel DVD is better but the paintings are strange and too many people in them sometimes. Except the landscapes. I like them. The Sower is nice. They were before he was painting like Bosh. Bosh did strange art before Bruegel. Constant bunches of messy life people may have meaning but no heart filled love.

Cement Mixers
I have seen a cement mixing truck while I was driving in a car. It keeps spinning to keep the cement soft and wet inside. Cement can make a sidewalk or driveway or road

Food
I want to eat more.

Joseph, Awesome Oven

Joseph

Joseph had a long tunic. He did not have to work as hard as his brothers. His Daddy spoiled him. He was the youngest. Some of them were so jealous they plotted to murder him. Reuben stopped them. They only took his cloak and threw him into a cistern. Judah and the other mad and jealous brothers sold him to be a slave. Reuben was unhappy. Jacob their father, thought Joseph was dead.

Joseph was a good slave, but Potipher's wife got him in trouble. When he was in jail, he interpreted dreams God gave to the other royal prisoners. The cupbearer was happy with Joseph's prediction. The baker was angry. The cupbearer was given his old job and allowed to live. The baker was killed. Cupbearer forgot to ask Pharoah to free Joseph from jail. Joseph had to stay in jail longer and wait. He was sad and had to ask God for patience.

Awesome Oven

An oven is awesome. I like to turn the light on and watch the food cooking. The light should not be on if nothing is cooking.

Lion Puppets, Dog Coloring Book, Bedtime

Kyli and I both have lion puppets.

I like to please color a picture of puppy and goldfish. I will use markers.

I like to look at dogs. The new coloring book is nice. It is not informational, but it is big and fun to look at all the types of dogs.

I need pillows for going to sleep. Masks and CO2O2 too. My vest I can put on myself.

Poor Frogs, Mama Linda, Better Spelling & Hot Squash

Frogs do not have ears like our human ears. They are on inside of their heads. They cannot wear headphones. Poor frogs.

Mama Linda comes and we play today. She is fun.

I spell without Mommy on my hand now.

My plate is hot. My spaghetti squash wants me to eat it.

More Outside, Horses for Jodi, Learning Pictures for Emma

I want more outside play.

Ms Jodi,
I like you. You will take Kyli Kyli to ride a horse one day. I might go riding again this summer. I would love to have a horse that is an Appaloosa. A good name for my horse might be Delores the horse. She could have another name though. I have not met her yet.

Dear Pretty Ponytail Emma,
I love the letter and pictures. My pictures are for you to learn. Be patient with your Mommy. She will teach you a lot as she learns too. You please will send me your giraffe marker drawing.
Love, Loader Joshua.

Mayans

Mayans lived in Mexico and Guatemala.

Their ancient cities have glyphs. This writing is very hard to decipher.

There are people today who have Mayan ancestors. My friend Anna looks at a book about Mayans and says they are her people.

Archaeologists found a king's skeleton under a pyramid.

Beauty

A horse is beautiful.

A horse is Equus.

Sometimes a horse riding activity is called a equine event.

I love food. And painting.

The picture I painted was Doc, then it turned into me. Now I think it is Gramma.

Mommy and Gramma only eat oatmeal for breakfast. I eat millet and turkey and turnips and greens and peas. I love food.

I want eggs for lunch. And sweet potato.

A pan is on the stove. I want more egg to be cooked in it.

I love sweet potatoes.

Watercolor Painting, Daniel and Mister Terry

Watercolor painting sounds fun. I think I did it before a long time ago. The container they come in is bright, but the water makes them less bright. I want to paint like Doctor Perkinson. A visit to the library should include research on watercolor painting.

Daniel and Mister Terry like me. I like you.

I write for a blog now.
