ABC's with a little Twinkle Twinkle

Brady started school this week-Tuesdays he goes with me, Thursdays he goes alone. This morning I dropped him off and was missing him after 10 minutes. I picked him up and tried to piece together what they did. He rambled on about basketballs, his new friend Colton, his teacher Miss Carol, playdoh, and snack time. I hate not being there for every moment, but I guess that is part of them growing up. Ugh

Brynn-5 Months

Brynn turned 5 months this week and has grown so much. She is rolling, laughing, and smiling a lot. She is only waking up once per night and a napping schedule is starting to form. She loves her Infant ECFE class and her exersaucer. Her favorite things to do are pulling Mommy's hair and play peek-a-boo.

Brady 2.5

Brady turned 2.5 in July and it was right about that time he started wanting to do everything himself. In typical 2 year old style it has resulted in monster tantrums. He has a defiant streak that makes me want to pull my hair out. He eats only when hungry, refuses to nap when he doesn't think he needs one and often stays up in his crib until 9PM because he can. When he is ON, he is so sweet and polite. When he is hungry, tired, or frustrated it makes for some long days.

He has had a lot of firsts this summer-movie in a theater(Cars 2), first time bowling, first time in a bounce house, and first carnival.

He still loves trains, but also loves emergency vehicles and tow trucks. He tries to tow everything with his tow truck, and often gets frustrated when he can't get it to work. He pretends his trucks are talking to each other-"You need help?", "Ok, I help you.".

His favorite people are his cousins-he talks about them all day. He begs to go see them. If you ask him who his best friend is he often says Grandma.

He loves to sing. Favorites include-Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Take me out the ball game, and the ABC's. He recognizes songs he hears often on the radio and always asks me what they are called. His loves a song called "Dirt Road Anthem" and begs for me to turn it on.

He got a new prosthetic arm in August which I hope to do a post on soon.
