Well I thought I would take some time a write about my boys...mostly it will just be the rambling of a very proud mom!
Braden is four years old and boy is he a handful! He is constantly challenging me and my husband! He is a very smart and imangintive boy. He is constanly asking WHY! The love of his life right now is THOMAS THE TRAIN...we have everything Thomas and are always searching for new things! He spends most of his day playing with is die cast trains and never wants to leave them behind when we go somewhere. The stories he comes up with while playing amaze me...maybe he will become a writer? The are imangivitive and new all the time..and it amazes me that they are always in context of what the trains do in "real life."
It is funny to go places with him..yesterday while my husband and I were taking the kids for a walk he said..."Uhoh daddy it's Gordans Hill..we must chug faster and faster if we are going to make it up!" so funny! He also stated that the trail was "bumpy and junky" in spots. Where does this kid think up this stuff?
He has always been such a happy boy! But last year kind of threw a curve ball at him...I think that he would have been more than happy to be an ONLY child but mom and dad had other thoughts! Not only did we bring 1 new sibling into his life but he got a 2 for 1 deal when his twin brothers were born. This was a hard time of the year for him last year because I was put on restrictions and couldn't play with him like I used to...he did not understand at all. July and August were even harder because about the week after our birthdays (July 12 and 13) I was hospilized in Sioux Falls and he had to be passed from family member to family member. Thank god we have such a wonderful family...I dont know what we would have done without them! He has had some hard times adjusting to being a big brother but for the most part he is getting the hang of it....he definatily does not want his babies to cry!
He also started pre-preschool in the fall. Boy is he SMART! One of his teachers said to me the other day, "leave it to Braden to have the vocabulary of an 11 year old!" He does have some problems with attention though...he only wants to do what he wants to do and only when he wants to do it! (sounds a little like ME!) Because of this Ryan and I along with his WONDERFUL teachers have decided that he should redo pre-preschool next year and hopefully that will help with the problem. His birthday is in July like mine so I have had reservations about sending him to kindergarden when he is five anyway..
As always he is a light of my life and as he says, "Mommy I want to always be your baby!" which he will be!
