We've been calling Joshua by his middle name, Remy. He's taking to it pretty well. I certainly enjoy saying it more.

Remy and Ender have taken to wrestling. My mattress is on the floor. It is their favorite arena. Remy is the more aggressive combatant. This is surprising to me, as he is generally milder in all things. In hindsight, Remy has been the most resistant to the pain of pressure points. Remy also withstands cold much better than Ender. At this point, I believe Remy to be physically tougher but more emotionally sensitive than Ender, if comparisons must be made.

Joshua also gives fierce growls while he prepares to attack. I've seen him play monster before, and he will learn that this manner will give him a considerable psychological advantage over his opponents.

I also hope to teach them to laugh when they get hurt, as it makes enemies quite unsure of themselves when their attacks are met with laughter.
