Braydenisms

Brayden's vocabulary has really exploded this summer! He comes home everyday with a new word(s)!

Some of his favorite sayings right now are:

-I sit (sort of sounds like something else though and there is a funny story that goes along with this phrase)
-I throw (balls that is)
-I kick (again balls)
-guck (truck)
-Monies (mommy)
-Daays (daddy)
-My daay's guck (my daddy's truck)
-Airpain (airplane)
-bor (more)
-fuit (fruit)
-nacks (snacks)
-Apo (Elmo)

Brayden LOVES anything with balls and can really kick/throw the ball well! He tells everyone that he sees, wether he knows them or not, that "I throw" and "I kick" all the while demonstrating his throwing and kicking. He has mastered dropping and kicking the ball (much like a punter would do in football). We have had several people comment on his kicking skills especially! Do we have another soccer player on our hands?? We are planning on taking Brayden to most/all of the football games this season and I think he is really going to enjoy it! He is fascinated by watching all sports on TV, so it can only be better in person, right?

He also has started to enjoy coloring with his markers and when in the mood, can be VERY serious with his art work. He also loves to play with his block table and enjoys building towers and then knocking them down. Another recent love is trucks. Brayden was handed down a large plastic dump truck that is great for the beach! We kept is under his bed all winter and he would pull it out and play with it sometimes when we were in his room. Now, ever since the 4th of July when we took the truck to the beach, the truck has to be in bed with him as well!

Brayden also has learned how to climb into the car/truck on his own and then into his car seat. He insists most times of helping to buckle himself in as well. We allow him to do the top (chest) clip and then we do the rest. He is VERY independent and has a very stubborn attitude (wonder where he gets that from??)

Fruit of ALL kinds is by far his favorite food, followed closely by cheese. We watch a lot of Sesame Street these days, which really isn't such a bad thing I don't think. It teaches letters, numbers, and good morals. How bad can 1 episode of Sesame Street a day be?

Brayden is growing up way too fast and we are enjoying every minute of it! Most of the time, he is a laid back, easy going toddler who likes to flirt and play ball!
