Yesterday we went with Aunt Melody and Leah as guest to
Six Flags for the day. Josiah started out very tentative of the rides and didn't want to try anything. Of course the pushy mom that I am forced him onto a ride or two. After he had ridden a ride once with force he wanted to ride that same ride over and over again. We have noticed with Josiah that even though he plays very rough and is very rowdy most of the time, if something is new he is very tentative and scared. He doesn't like to try new things and we have to force him into new experiences a lot. After a tearful morning of wanting to ride and not wanting to ride we decided to have lunch and then go to the water park. We had a very expensive chicken finger and fries lunch and then off to swim.
Josiah loves to swim and this was the highlight of his day. His most favorite part of the water park was the wave pool. He jumped over the waves, got knocked over by the waves and dove under them. He had a blast. Unfortunately I didn't get any water park pictures. I spent my time with Naomi sleeping for half of the time and the other half in the water with her. We relaxed down the lazy river a few times, but for her, she wanted to be in the water splashing even though it was ice cold. We had a great day in the sun and water.

My first-born, Nicholas, is also very tentative with new things. My second-born, Libby, thrives on new things! Yesterday she went for her first motorcycle ride with our neighbor. Nicholas decided not to try. He will try things on his own schedule, but he does eventually try them. It sounds like Josiah may be the same!

Teresa, We go to Highview and Tera M gave me yalls blog address because we have just started the adoption process and are looking into using AIAA. She said you guys used this agency and I would love to hear from someone who has personally used the agency and how their experience went. When you have a moment, would you mind emailing me and letting me know about yalls experience with AIAA? I really appreciate it!! Thanks! (Josiah & Naomi are beautiful!!)

How fun! I have not been there in ages! Would you believe that I was 18 yrs old before I tried my first real roller coaster? Ellie is the same way...
