As I was sorting papers I found one that I had written on about idea I wanted to record about Braxton on the blog. This story comes from the trip to New Mexico back in May. First of all I was amazed. Braxton is not much of a napper these days and hasn't been for a while but I figured that he would still sleep on the 10 hour drive to New Mexico. Well he did sleep, right about the time we had about half an hour left before we were to grandma's house. Sadly I was a horrible mom and didn't remember to bring much to entertain him while travelling. I was amazed at how well he played and entertained himself the first half of the trip. We stopped in Monticello to get gas and decided to get him some toys as well. It amazed me that he could be good for so long in the car.
The best story from that day was the one that Braxton told us. The story went like this, Braxton said, "Up (looking up and pointing), and then this (pointing left) and then this (pointing right) and then up..." He repeated this story over and over. Kent and I just laughed and wondered what in the world he was jabbering about. Finally at one point it occurred to me that he could be talking about an airplane as we had passed a small airport. When I asked him at the end of this story if it was a plane he yelled, "Yeah!" It may have been one of those had to be there stories, but either way it was so cute that it was a story I didn't want to forget. Even though he may be delayed in his expressive language he is very good at using the words he does know and trying to communicate. The best part is he never holds back when he wants to tell a story. Even if it's not always convenient to try and listen. He's a great kid!
