Right when we were getting out of the car, Joshua and Caleb spotted two dogs coming toward them. We were at a park by our house. Immediately, they pet the big German Sheppard and golden retriever. Joshua started asking the owners if they have ever seen Aztec dancers. They said no. Joshua tells them all about it. They asked him if he's learning this in "School". He said, 'No, I just go on the internet, or go to the library and read about it.' As much as I hear about Aztec dancers all day long, at that moment, I was so proud of Joshua. The lady said, 'You are so smart! That's so incredible how much you've learned all on your own, and you remember it all.' I was busy putting all of our stuff into the stroller. I heard everything she said though. Usually I try to stop Joshua from talking about those little things that he can't stop thinking about. But this time, I didn't, and I'm so glad. There are times when I do have to intervene. Like at church, or at the Grocery store, or at the Mexican restaurant we sometimes go to by our house. Actually I take that back, the waiters at the mexican restaurant are very surprised that a young boy knows so much about their culture. They are often intrigued. They stand there and ask Joshua questions, and he is so happy to answer. You can see the twinkle of excitement in Joshua's eyes when he realizes they aren't just humoring him with their nods, and their 'uh-huh's', and 'that's interesting'. They actually know what he's talking about, and they love to talk about it just as much as Joshua does. I love it when I see that look in Joshua's eyes. It means he's connecting with another person. I understand the people that can't connect with Joshua. Sometimes I can't connect with him and I'm his mom. He does wear me down when all he wants to do is breath-eat-sleep, aztec. That's pretty much every day, all day. But when I see things like what happened today, I feel encouraged. I feel like I had nothing to do with that knowledge that he has in his head. That's all Joshua. I can't take credit for that. God has made Joshua like he is for a reason. I'm so glad that Joshua is my son, and that God has blessed me with him. He is a true blessing and a gift. I love you, my little Joshy.
