Jackpot

Last weekend some of our neighbors had a garage sale. Since they have two older boys I figured they might have some stuff we wanted. Well they ended up giving us a ton of toys, books, and games. I was very grateful (even though I have no idea how their stuff was in such good condition and how all the puzzles and games have all the pieces). I loved getting all the new books but you can tell from the picture Brannon's favorite find. Isn't he such a rock star?

Fun at the park

One of our favorite places

One day Brannon is going to come to me and tell me he has high cholesterol and he's going to remember this picture and know why. We love Waffle House! I have created a monster! What really sealed the deal is when the workers started making him a chocolate-chip Mickey Mouse waffle. What's not to love?

New Ritual

Tonight we let Taylor and Brannon take a "bath" together for the first time. Taylor is pretty good at sitting up so we thought we would give it a go. I think they both loved it. Brannon talked to Taylor the whole time and helped to get him clean. Taylor just loved staring at Brannon in awe as usual. Every day I'm amazed at how fast Taylor is growing and it's a little unnerving.

Mistaken Identity

Tonight at dinner, Brannon picked up David's phone and said, "Daddy you're 3" (which means that David is #3 on speed dial on my phone). David told him that since it was his phone that mommy was #3 on the speed dial. After giving David a confused look he decided to call mommy (even though I was sitting directly across the table from him). So he calls and I answer,
"Hey, Brannon."
"MeMe?"
Are you kidding me, I'm sitting across the table from him and he's watching me talk on the phone.
"No, it's mommy" We continued to talk for a few seconds and then I got off the phone.
A few minutes later he decided to call mommy again.
Ring, ring, ring.... (I decided not to answer this time)... voicemail.
"Mommy's not there. I think she's at work."
I really don't get it!

Tonight we went to Newk's for dinner after Brannon's swimming lesson. We like it because they have packs of breadsticks that he can munch on until his food gets there. I asked Brannon if I could have one of his breadsticks (keep in mind that we had about 5 packs on the table). He held the pack up so I could see it and spelled out what was on the side "B-R-E-A-D-S-T-I-C-K-S". I said, "Good Brannon, that spells breadsticks." Brannon ran his finger along the word like he was reading it to me and replied, "No it says Grown-ups can't have this". I ended up opening my own pack. So much for sharing.

Not what I wanted to hear

Me: So Brannon do you want to go for a walk or go get ice cream?
Brannon: Go for a walk.

I guess it's obvious which one I wanted to do! Good thing Brannon keeps me in line.
