A memory

I want to remember this morning when you came to me and said,
"Mom I love you, I love you big much, BIG MUCH" while holding your arms as far out as they stretched.

Big much = this much

Dressing yourself

You have started dressing yourself. In the morning we had a routine. You would go potty then I would tell you to throw your clothes in the hamper. After that we would go in the room and I would lay out your socks, undies and pants and you would put those on.

However, last week you started dressing yourself. I would say go potty and before I knew it you would run in your room, pick out undies, and socks and pants. You came out last week with your pants on backwards, your undies inside out and slippers for socks.


This morning you came running out in your uggliest Elmo board shorts. You were so excited to open your pants drawer and see shorts in there now. I told you to go put them back because we already had an outfit picked out. You proudly came running out in yet another pair of board shorts. So we went in your room. That is when I saw that you had dug through both your shorts and undies drawer to pick out just the right stuff. You also threw the undies you don't like out of your drawer so that I wouldn't make you wear them. It was very cute. I laid out your new clothes and shoes and you put them on and then came out to get help putting the shirts on.

Yesterday we were riding in the car and you were going on and on and on about a car. Look mom a car, a car mom a car a car a car. Finally I was like YES BRANDON A CAR. You responded with, "Oh my gosh mom." It was very cute! Your dad laughed soooo hard. You smiled and said, "Oh my goodness." You make us laugh a lot.

You really love being a big brother. You love going in to see Codi when he wakes up. This morning you ran to the room shouting, "MY BROTHERS AWAKE MY BROTHERS AWAKE."

When I hold Codi you run over and kiss him and hug him. You are always telling me how much you love him and like him. I hope I remember these days when you two are beating on each other later in life!
This pretty much sums up our life right now!

I sure do love you Brandon. You are getting to be so smart and so funny these days. Every morning when we head to work you chase after the kids walking to the bus. You keep telling me you want to go to school with the kids. So we signed you up for pre-school and you are now on the waiting list to go. While I can't wait for you to go and learn and have fun, most of me is going to miss the heck out of you when your gone. I think I'm going to cry on your first day of school.

You are still my world little guy. I still love you bigger then the moon and sun together. Watching you grow and be a big brother has only made me love you that much more!
