Fun Times...

The weather is turning warmer, and we are so excited!! We are getting claustrophobic in the house!! Brayden has been talking about swimming and vacation non-stop lately!! He wants it to be warm too, we looked up when the pool opened this week and found we have quite a while to wait!! I learned one thing from telling Brayden about vacation so early, and I won't be telling him about anything that far ahead again. I think vacations should be told to him the morning of!! Lesson learned for sure! We went to get Brayden some sandals yesterday so we could start the process of transitioning him over before California and he was not happy they were on his feet and he wanted his shoes back on! I am not sure why it is such a hard transition for him but he is NOT a fan!! I hope that this becomes easier as time goes by. I am looking at sandals that look more like tennis shoes for Disney so they will be comfortable for him but we will see. He might wear tennis shoes too!! You never know with him!!

He is really into Rescue Bots right now and loves police officers, cars, firefighters and firetrucks and his toy firehouse!! He adds a few of his other toys to it like a helicopter and says "mommy look they all help people!!" We saw someone pulled over by a cop the other day, and Brayden says "mommy it is so nice that police officer helping people". It is amazing to me how everything is positive, I wish I could bottle this up and keep him this way forever!! I love it!!

Happy Easter!

We had a very laid back Easter this year!! We colored eggs, got an Easter basket and presents, had an Easter egg hunt, went to the park and played outside, and had dinner with Donny's family!! It was a good day!! Brayden ofcourse thought it was his birthday because he got presents, but then realized he wasn't getting a cake and got over that quickly! Here are a few pictures

Brayden loves his cousins

One of my biggest suprises as a mother was watching Brayden's older cousins, age 13 and 7.5 now, and how they interact with him and how much they like him!! It is amazing to watch and Brayden eats up all of the attention that he can. This week was the boys spring break so we saw them a couple of times. On monday I picked Brayden up from daycare and he was in a bad mood cause they woke him up from his nap. I picked him up and he was happy to see me but didn't fully come out of it till I told him we were going to see the boys!! Today we went bowling with them and Brayden likes to bowl but didn't last quite as long as they did but he liked just hanging out with them!!

 Brayden over the past week has started using hitting as a ways to release frustration!! I know he is not the child to ever do this, but I am not liking it at all and will be working on stopping this quickly!!

He is very into to telling us stories about anything and everything. We can ask him about school and he tells us about "playing with his friends" and even what they learned about that day!! I love watching him get excited about his day!! He hardly ever stops talking and can always find something to talk about, it is never-ending fun when he is around!!

 He said I want to wear my sunglasses like daddy!!

 Some mornings he just wants to be by me when I get ready, today was one of those days and he found the blow dryer to be lots of fun and he liked it even more when he realized the mirror was there!!

Naked again? Oh my!! 

This Age is better everyday!!

Brayden is getting closer to 3 every day!! He is so much fun, has such a personality, and does new things all the time!! This week I have noticed that when he watches TV that he answers the questions that they ask the kids and really knows what is going on on the TV!! He also can actually play the follow along stories on his IPAD too!!

He also watched Oso show a little boy how to ride a scooter and now he rides his scooter around the house really well!! he even tries to teach us to ride it!! That can be funny!!!

I think I can safely say that Brayden is fully potty trained!! We have not had an accident in a long time, he is doing really good at telling us when he has to go!! Then he bargains with us to make sure he can sit backwards on the toilet!!

We had some good friends over this week and colored Easter Eggs and went out to lunch, it was a goo time!! Brayden loves to have people over at his house and usually even does pretty well sharing his toys!!

Brayden prefers at this point to wear underwear and socks only! He does not like to have clothes on and takes off anything he can when at home!!
