Slacking Again

Well it has been a LONG time since I updated, again. Things have been pretty busy, I had a long TO DO list. There were a lot of errands on top of studying for tests and fitting work hours in and all the extra time was spent sleeping or squeezing a shower in! Nothing major has been going on but Brode has had a few little fun things. I would love to post pictures as I describe each, but my computer has an unbelievably powerful virus on it that my dad has been battling for days so there is no way to get to any pictures.

Brode has gotten bored with his toys lately (I dont know how he has a million!) so he has been playing with magnets, diaper boxes, and the dog toys. I made him some of his own magnets so now he has animals and cars and sports balls to play with instead of random clips and flat ones he can't get off, so far he likes them. We brought down a diaper box one night and pulled him around in it with Libby's leash so that is now an every day event!

Brode has also started to love helping do the laundry, and he loves brushing his teeth! Whenever someone is in the laundry room he can hear it and takes off! He loves pushing the laundry in, and pulling it out. This morning he even got the buttons figured out! We also recently got him his first real toothbrush (had been using a finger brush, but we couldn't handle the biting anymore) so Brode and I sit on the bathroom floor and brush our teeth together. He loves watching and copying so he caught on quick!

Brode also has completely moved to the 1-year-old room at day care! This has many new things! He now eats lunch at a table in a tiny chair with the rest of the class, he not only takes 1 nap a day, but he does it on a cot instead of in a crib! He also has gotten much more time outside. We have also noticed that he is catching on to things a lot faster. He is the only one that can't fully walk but every day he comes home he adds a few steps, urging to catch up to the rest of them! His new room is ALL boys, 7 of them, I can only imagine!

This weekend has had a few things going on, we ran errands yesterday then went to Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner, Brode's first real restaurant experience! Today we have a brunch at Grandma Beth's for Matt's 22nd birthday (that was Friday the 16th), so we're going to go over there and see everyone and celebrate and play! This afternoon we'll hopefully get a good nap in, then tonight we're going to Miss Claire and Miss Karen's for dinner (pretty much like every Sunday) with some friends, and to check out Brode's halloween costume! It should be a fun day!

Everyone have a great Sunday!
