You know what? I'm happy!

Joaquin said to me yesterday, "You know what?" (Me: What?), "I'm happy!" Love this boy!

We make Joaquin earn his keep

Seriously though, this kid cracks us up sometimes. What a work ethic! He's got a rocking horse that he pulled out the other night. Did he want to ride the horse? No! Check it out....

Yes, that's him fixing the horse with a screwdriver.

Where? Ok!

Joaquin's newest thing is to say something with (I think) the intention of us repeating it. So if it's something he wants to see, he'll kind of say it under his breath (Helicopter...) and we'll say "Helicopter?" and he'll answer loudly and excitedly "Where!?" OR it'll be something he wants to do and he'll say it under his breath (Bring bat...) and we'll say, "You want to bring the bat?" and he'll say, "Oh-kay!" in this kind of sing-songy voice like, well if you insist, why not?
