The top 4 things that make Joel the sweet and special boy that he is are:

1- DRAMA!!!  You never know when Joel is going to lose it or what is going to set him off.  From something as small as "I can't find my shoes." to something BIG like taking a Tonka truck to the forehead and now we have to go to the ER for 7 stitches!

2- Thumbs up!  Joel is king of the thumbs up.  He gives you that sweet big smile (see photo) and says "Hey Mommy thumbs up!"  And makes the appropriate gesture!  Love it!!!

3- Clumsy coordinated.  I know that doesn't make sense but if you were around Joel much you would know exactly what that means.  He has a dimple that he made himself, it's darn cute but it was scary when he fell into the corner of a table for no apparent reason.  He has already had stitches.  A day rarely goes by when I am not comforting him after his most recent injury.

4- For better or worse he is his mother's son.  Stubborn to the core!  He is going to do what he wants to do when he wants to do it.  And he won't do something he REALLY wants to do if you tell him he has to do it.  In other words it is not a good idea until it is his idea!

These are just a few things about Joel that make him special.  I love him so much I could cry just thinking about it!  My sweet Joel, we really are kindred spirits.  Two peas in a pod.  No wonder we drive each other crazy!
