Circus Day


Thursday was Circus Day at Joshua's Mother Day Out. Andi and I had a great day watching Joshua perform as a lion in the 3 ring circus. Because this was the first performance of its kind for us I had no idea what to expect. Joshua is always singing and doing "tricks" at home, but I wasn't sure how he would do in front of his peers and their parents. 
Needless to say, he had no stage fright at all. In fact, he ran to the front of the line so that he could be the very first. He stood up on the chair, roared a ferocious roar and jumped through the firery hoop (a hula hoop with orange felt triangles taped around it). After talking with several mothers I learned that the kids had been practicing all week. I think our one day a week worked out for us this time. Most of the other children wouldn't wear their mask or perform the feats of doom, but Joshua didn't have any time to get nervous about it. 
The performance was followed by games, balloon animals, bubbles, popcorn, and lemonade. Basically, all the things that Joshua loves. Good day at school this week.

I was just having a lazy Sunday afternoon, killing time on the computer, and I stumbled onto your blog. What an amazing story and a beautiful family. I just wanted to let you know that I enjoyed reading through some of your posts and I was inspired and reminded of God's love. I esspecially liked the quote on one of your posts that "Faith is not the absence of questions and doubt. Faith is the ability to move forward despite questions and doubt." What a great reminder! Thank you!
