So.....it's been a long time......

One of my new year's resolutions was to write on this blog more.....I haven't been doing a very good job, but since I had a request to put up an update, I'll try to do better.

The above picture is from one night last week. Brakston was in the basement with daddy and I was doing laundry in our bedroom. I thought I heard a noise, and this is what I found on the dining room table. Brakston had poured both the "white milk" and the "chocolate milk" into a bowl and said he made "cereal." He even put the lids back on the milk and put both milks back in the fridge. He was quite proud of himself.

In Brakston news, his language skills are amazing. He's learning how to use negatives. Last week, I made him mad and he said "I can't love you" to me. I didn't expect that from my two-year old, I thought I had a few years before that happened. Then, last night, I made him mad when I made him go to bed and he informed me "I don't love you." Sigh.............I told him that wasn't nice and he then replied, "I sorry, I do love you."

We're getting a little stir crazy with all this snow. He put on his boots earlier and said "I'm ready to go by bye now." We've had fun playdough filled mornings and Aladdin filled afternoons. I finally talked him into a different movie today, Beauty and the Beast Enchanted Christmas, except Brakston calls it "Booty and the Beast." Cracks me up every time.

Yesterday, he told me to "shut up," I turned around and said "excuse me" and the look on my face must have scared him because he said "oh, excuse me, I so sorry." It's really hard not to laugh at him.

I promise, more pictures soon.
