Treasured stage

I really love the stage Joash is in right now.

He is able to listen to instructions and follow through with them most of the time such as taking off his shoes and putting them back nicely. The way he runs and jumps around is sooooo cute. He is learning a million things now and it's so fun to watch him try his hands at new stuff. He loves to sing and dance and his favorite songs are "Twinkle twinkle little star", "Jesus loves me" and "Happy Birthday". He'll initiate games to play with me and comes over to hug and kiss me on his own. As it is, it warmed my heart this morning to see him clasp his hands together and say 'amen' when we prayed as a family for his sister.

I've been told that this is the best stage when he is able to communicate and is not too assertive yet in insisting his own ways. I dunno much about the notorious 'terrible twos' that many observed but I just wanna treasure every moment I have with him when he is simply so much fun now. Of course he has his cranky moments but they are still manageable. I pray that he'll always be so lovable.

Here's a video of him having fun at IKEA and being his social and active self. :)
