My Boys

I haven't done a blog posting recently about my kids. This is really more of a post for me to remember what they are doing right now, and remember how fun they are.

Brayden: VERY active, and funny. He is starting to develop his sense of humor and it is fun to see him try to tell jokes. He doesn't care much for breakfast, Camden will have eaten 3 bowls of cereal before Brayden stops talking long enough to get one down. Right now Brayden is talking all day, except when there is too much going on. Brayden has a very kind side to him. He is always thinking of his younger brother and sharing with him all the time. He recently started peddling on his bike and he is so excited, that he wakes up wanting to ride. I have to remind him to change into play clothes, and eat breakfast before he can ride his bike. Luckily he loves riding in our large garage which is nice. Brayden is very into books right now, and asks to read all the time. We average over 10-12 books/day. During quiet time he is often found reading and listening to the bible on the CD player. To my great suprize he has memorized most of the bible stories and tells me all about them.

Camden: ATTITUDE galore. He has started into the terrible two's a little early. His new phrase is Albomosev... which is translated: All by my self. He has decided that anything his brother does he can do too. If he doesn't get to, the temper tantrums begin. We have an amazing trick with him. We can tell him to go to the stairs until he is happy. He will walk to the stairs, turn around and come back smiling. Parenting with Love and Logic works great on this kid and we are so grateful for learning about it. Camden loves to eat. He is often found asking for food, asking for more, and eating food off the floor that he left from the last meal. Camden is also our family clown. He loves attention and everywhere he goes he thinks he is the cutest. He waves and smiles at everyone. He loves living in a retirement community even more because everyone loves the happy, flirty little boy. He has started jumping and he he thinks he is the coolest.

I feel very fortunate to be their mother and to be able to stay home with them. They are the treasure of our lives and we love to see them grow and develop.
