Never a Dull Moment

Tonight is Brayden's first night in the his Big Boy Bed. I decided it was finally time to convert the crib into a big kid bed. I thought it was going to be a struggle for him to stay in bed. I put him to bed at his usually time but before leaving and turning out the light. We talked about how he would be spending his first night in his Big Boy Bed and how proud of him I was. And what do you know. NOT A PEEP! It's been and hour and just checked on him and he is completely asleep. WOW! and I thought it was going to be hard the first night. He is such a great kid! I hope the next few night to follow are this easy! Stay tuned!

So I have to admit it, I'm addicted! It's Thursday night and my two favorite shows are BACK!!!!!! Grey's Anatomy and Lost. It doesn't get any better than this. So if you need to reach me on a Thursday night, chances are I'll be sitting in my pj's glued to the TV.

And so it starts....the adventure of little boys. Brayden finally got his first ouchie. I have no idea how or where he got it, but we made it a special moment. I even went to the store and bought "cool car" band-aids. Of course they only stayed on for about 20 minutes. I guess I will need to learn how to cope with all the bumps and bruises that are yet too come!

A couple of weeks ago I went strawberry picking with my neighbor Brittany - strawberries off the vine...it's hard work. But the rewards are well worth it. Not only did we spend an hour or so picking strawberries, but I then had to come home and clean them, cut them and then bag them to put them in the freezer. I was thankful when Ryan said he didn't want any jam. I was tired of looking at strawberries when it was all said and done. But it's great now that I can just go to my freezer and pull out the berries for smoothies. This is a treat that Brayden loves. I think my favorite thing to do with the berries would have to be...making strawberry lemonade...yummmmmm!

As Brayden has gotten older he has definetly started to become Ryan's little shadow!

He is even wearing his hat JUST LIKE DAD!

The other night Brayden and I were outside pulling weeds from the yard and I looked around and Brayden had gone back in the garage. I sat back watching him as he proceeded to pull out the washbucket...the sponges....the car soap. He then hauled ALL that over to the hose and pretended to fill it up with water. I don't know what he was planning on washing, but he sure was determinded.

Now that it is light during the evening and the weather is warming up, we decided to head over to the park and Brayden and Ryan had a blast. Brayden was up and down the slide the entire time
