is her hero. Today we went fishing. She was so excited. She went around saying, "I go fishin' with daddy!" We got the poles together and some snacks, stopped and got minnows and went to the river. It was around 50 degrees here today so it was a great day to go. We got there and started out with 
feeding the ducks. She runs up to the river, bread in hand and begins yelling, "here guys! Here is bread." The ducks of course go running and swimming the total opposite direction. They are scared to death of this overzealous toddler. Animals sense excitement from children as potential pain for themselves. :) anyway, she fed the ducks for a bit while Daddy got things together.

We began to fish and she was just having
a blast. She loved helping daddy cast, and helping to hold the pole. She enjoyed being able to help reel in the fish. She touched all of the fish that we caught and would just giggle with glee at the chance to touch a fish. I love that unbridled excitement and genuine enjoyment that children have with everything in their world. They just love to be and that is so fun to watch.

so real. Tells you how she feels and notices how others feel. It is really great. When it was time to leave today she was quick to let us know that she was not happy about leaving. She still wanted to go fishing with Daddy. We told her that we were going to go feed the geese at a separate park and she says..."OK." We went to that park and went to feed the geese. Now i must interject here that as a child, a little older than her, I was bit by a goose. I have NEVER forgotten that. As much as I like to feed the geese I am still a little bit scared of them biting. I try to put on a brave face though and not let her see. Well, we go to feed the geese and she picks up a chip and holds it out and sure enough a goose comes right up to snatch it out of her hand. The goose gets little of her finger in his mouth too. Josey looks up at me, very startled, and says, "Ow. Goose bite." I said something like ok, are you all right, trying not to make a big deal of it and sure enough she says, "yeah." and then goes on her way. Not a tear shed. If I remember correctly I shed many tear when I was "bitten".

Good thing. I have a feeling her and her daddy will be doing more fishing together in the future. I remember fishing with my dad too. We would go out on my Uncle's boat at like 5:30 or something in the morning. I would sleep on the boat and then would wake up sometime in the morning and then start to fish. But I could not stand the idea of them going with out me. Josey will be the same way I imagine. Actually I think that Brad may not be able to leave the house to go fishing without her anymore. She has had so much fun that she may pitch a fit if he tries to go. We will see how that works out.
Anyway, I am going to close for now. I could go on and on about my girl, she is just so great. I am so proud to be her mommy.
