Sunday was a very interesting day that I shows some of Braxton's quirky personality. I'd like to share it with you. The day started off usual with getting ready for church and getting there. We finished up primary sharing time and nursery music time and Braxton needed to be changed. It was a little bit of a blow out so I went home to get him some new clean pants. When I came back and changed him he was so mad at me. Braxton knows which clothes are his church clothes and he will not wear any others. He was mad about the wrong pants all through sacrament meeting.
During sacrament meeting we had an intermediate hymn and when the song finished I thought I would look and see what the closing song was. As I was looking Braxton took the hymn book from me and put it away as if to say, "Mom, singing time is over now." Funny thing with that, a few weeks ago we were sitting in church and the speakers finished early. Everyone was expecting to sing the closing song and end but the bishop got up. I guess Braxton knows what comes next because he started singing with his hymnbook on his lap while the bishop said a few words. How could we stop him. He knew it was time for the song.
After church it was nap time. Braxton had been in there a while and since Kent had left to home teach the house was quiet. Suddenly I heard Braxton shout "NO, puppy, no!" I started to laugh. I laughed even harder when I heard him crying his overly 'fake' cry. Then it moved on to the sound of a matchbox car driving up and down the door. As you can see our nap time is VERY restful for him.
One work of progress we have going on these days is toilet training and Braxton is doing very well. I have been starting to let him take care of going on his own thinking that maybe I am keeping him from going when I am in there. Apparently having me gone is a bigger distraction because there is soap to play with in the tub, there is toilet paper to flush, and on Sunday there were swirly's to be had. Yes, I walked into the bathroom and Braxton had dipped his little head in the toilet. So potty time will no longer be alone time.
Finally dinner was a little slow going on Sunday and my smart little boy noticed that. He got the chair, slid it over to the counter and started getting out graham cracker after graham cracker to his hearts delight. He is becoming quite self sufficient. This morning he got out the leftover french toast in the fridge and started eating it. When he saw that I hadn't eaten yet he brought me the other ziploc bag of french toast. Should I be proud of Braxton or ashamed of me that my son is getting me breakfast. Anyway I just wanted to share those stories because my baby is really growing up these days. Here's some pictures to enjoy.
Braxton likes to take his toys with us when we go out walking...
This day he felt the need to take all of his toys...
he didn't take in account that there was no room for himself!
I don't take too many pictures of my biggest kid.
The other day I pointed out this police car across the street to Braxton...
A few minutes later I saw him driving this car in the window sill. What great object association!
