Brandon's Growing Up

My bad for not posting in several months. In the meantime, Brandon has been continuing to grow and showing us his personality. On of the most pronounced traits lately has been him changing the subject if he doesn't like what you're talking about - typically he starts talking about cookies if confronted with unpleasant topics like aplogizing or having to go to bed. We're currently working on him not pushing or hitting other people - I don't think he understands that it hurts other kids (or parents) when he's physically overbearing. He's also very passionate about something he wants to do, whether it's playing with cars, being outside, or going somewhere. He really likes going places, anywhere to be exact. He's also really good about sharing his toys with other kids when they come over to play. And in the last several months, he's really taken to heart manners, even saying excuse me when his mommy burps at the table. I'm so glad he's growing up to be a good kid - even if he tests us sometimes. It's a reminder to us that we have to be consistent when teaching him.






Hmmm... M&Ms

For Christmas, he got some die-cast cars from the movie "Cars" - he was pretty happy and content for a while.

Brandon's being silly here with my toothbrush and toothpaste. Typically he screams when we brush his teeth at night. I have to admit though, he's getting better at letting me brush his teeth (as opposed to Zenna doing it all the time)
