End of Summer

This Summer has been so fun and I cannot believe it is almost over. It makes me sad that our lazy mornings with be rushed to get to preschool in less that two weeks. I just love easy days with Braydon and Brooks! They play better than ever and fight just as good. I now understand why my Mom used to say how much it bothered her when my sisters and I fought...but how happy she was when we all got along. So true, I am overcome with joy when I watch Braydon and Brooks play and treat each other sweet. I just sit back and thank God for the sweet boys He gave us and smile! <3 p="p">

About these boys lately, Braydon is 4 1/2 and still such a Mommy's boy. He started to tell me "Your the the most beautiful girl in the world." What a little charmer. Well, he picked up on how it would make me smile and he started to sound more like this..."Mama, your the most beautiful girl in the world" wait wait.... "Can I have a brownie?"  Silly boy! I just love spending time with him. He is such a good buddy during Brooks nap...we run errands, swim together, he is never far from my hip. I can't believe this is his last year of preschool.  I look at my sweet baby and I can't get over how big he is and while he loves to be by my side...he is a big boy who gets embarressed when people tell him he is cute. If I could just bottle both the boys up right now I would!

On to baby Brooks, Brooks is 2 1/2 and such a little turkey.  He is a chatter box and talks like crazy. He picks up on things quick!  He loves to snuggle in the morning and watch his shows. He is picky about his shows and likes to be in charge and tells me "no no not that show mama" literally twenty times...He is also a Mama's boy and loves loves his brother like crazy. He asks Braydon to wrestle him all the time. He is rough and tough and will probably take Braydon down in a few years. He acts like the big brother most days and it just cracks me up.  He potty trained in 3 days about 3 weeks ago. I was not ready to potty train but he was and the rest is history. He did awesome :)  I think he will night time potty train as well as Braydon bc most nights and naps he wakes up dry. This is just odd to have two kids potty train so easy but I will take it. Brooks is like a little light of life and energy in our family! He is my precious baby and I just love watching him grow.
