Surprisingly Entertaining
Josiah is an ever-moving bundle of energy and activity almost all of his waking hours. He has surprised us a few times recently though when he was completely still.
On December 19, the kids at church sang a song during the service. Eila and Josiah were in the same group of 2-5 year olds who performed "Away in the Manger." We captured Josiah on video as he stood very still with his hands in his pockets for the entire duration of the song. He loves the song and sings it nearly every time he goes to sleep (so twice a day), but during the performance it was as if he had never imagined anything like this and was completely immobilized.
While we were visiting family in Arizona over the holidays, Josiah was not making any noise and hadn't been seen running by in a some time so an investigation of his whereabouts was in order. Josiah was found very contentedly watching "High School Musical 2" with his big sister and three older girl cousins. He sat peacefully and watched with rapt attention, but when the girls decided to have a sing along and dance along time during each of the songs, he gladly joined in flailing about wildly.
