This year has been filled with awesomeness. This post is going to be more for me, so that I do not forget the things that Brody has done this year:
*Potty trained before his 3rd birthday.
*First trip to the beach.
*40lbs at his last doctor visit.
*Plays all sorts of sports. He picks up on anything athletic that you put in front of him. He got a bike from Santa, and is riding it like he has been for years.
*Likes to pretend that he is some of the ballplayers that he sees like #22 Gabe Lowrance and #18 Conner Verdell for football, and Grady Stafford for basketball.
*LOVES to play church. His favorite songs are "There's a fountain free"; "Beautiful Star of Bethleham". He always wants to know who is doing the preaching, who is leading singing and who is saying the prayer.
*Brody started playing T-ball. His team was the Little Taters and the other team was the Tater Tots.
*He started reading some words this year
*Brody had his tonsils out this year.
*Brody loves to watch the Biggest Loser. He ever asked me while watching Dancing with the stars when are they going to weigh.
*Brody started swimming in the shallow end without floaties.
*Brody started picking up the attendance cards at church this year.
*Brody Quotes of the year:
- When I had strep throat this year, Brody told me I looked like a Granny. :)
-Brody thinks everything can be fixed with a bandaid, kiss and medicine.
- I had to tell Brody that the potty was not a playground. His response (with a very serious face) said "yes mommy it is"
-"last night at supper I told Brody he had to eat 3 more bites of green beans before her could get down. He said, "How 'bout I eat 15 bites" and then proceeded to eat all of his green beans. The kid may need to learn how to negotiate better"
-"Brody has his microphone out and just said, "Yes everyone we are going to Heaven."
-"Brodyism: I wore my work clothes to his ballgame the other night, and he says to me," Mommy don't wear your work clothes because my TBall team will look at me and say 'Brody your mommy is still wearing her work clothes'". No idea where he gets this stuff."
-"Brody and Bryan are playing golf. Brody told Bryan that he would be his caddy. He keeps asking Bryan which club does he need, and giving him pointers"
-"Brody said it would be time for bed when it was dark. I told him it was dark outside. He said no it is dark daylight"
-"the other day on the way to daycare, Brody counted to 109. I asked him, "What comes after 109?" He says, "Mommy lets not mess it up."
-"I asked Brody how old I was he said 50. When I told him I was 33 he said you've got to be kidding me"
-He told me he loved me more than 100 football players.
-"Brody just pointed to a convertable with its top down and said if they go in the carwash they will get soaking wet"
-"This morning's conversation with Brody:
Brody: "Mommy lets sleep some more." (He continues to talk)
Me: "How are you going to sleep if you keep talking?"
Brody: "My eyes are closed."
Me: (Pointing to his mouth) "Yeah, but this is not"
Brody: "Mommy that is just how God made me."
-Brody: "Jen Jen is your tree a mommy tree or a daddy tree?"
Jen: "Brody, I don't know. Not sure how to check that."
Brody: "I'll go check." (Runs up their stairs and comes back). "It's a daddy tree because it doesn't have a skirt"
-We have been doing a variation of the advent calendar this year. We have been putting a thankful prayer in each box for the 12 days of Christmas. Tonight, Brody said, let's go see who we are praying for tonight. Love him.
-Every present he opened this Christmas he said that it was going to be his favorite. His favorite thing ended up being silly putty in his stocking.
