OOOPS!

Ahh, I am losing it....in the last post I forgot to explain exactly why Brayden is MY boy. So here it goes....here he is opening his presents...

Thrilled to get a Mickey Mouse jump rope.



Playing outside with the chalk sprayer, didn't work, had to return it. :(


Now here it is: my boy jump roping with his helmet on... I have to admit this was probably the best choice. His first round of jumping resulted in his head on the concrete. I guess I forgot how complicated jumping can be...coordination with twirling the rope and jumping at just the right time. I demonstrated for him, then had him take a turn. He was concentrating so hard at watching the rope hit the ground, so he would know when to jump, he completely fell over, with his head catching him on the fall. I have to say, it was so scary to the point, I didn't even laugh, I really thought he was going to have a concussion. We iced it and back he went, this time with his helmet on. I think he is a tad accident prone, just like his Mama!
These are some of my favorite pics. from the weekend:


Ellie and Brayden cozy on the couch.

Gracie got the same shoes as Danielle. They are so cute!
Too funny (kinda scary too) about your boy being YOUR boy.
Hope you are well.

Now that Brayden is accustomed to wearing a helmet....
It's time to start shopping around for his 1st Harley!!
I volunteer to help when I come out in Nov.

I like that story. Even though it may seem kind of silly, I think it's cute that you're both accident prone. You guys will have lots of situations to laugh about together!
