Brayden's First Swim Lesson

Brayden had his first swimming lesson today. There are four children, ages 3-4, who are in his class. He had a great time. At one point he looked up at me in the stands and screamed "Hi Mom!". So cute (and a bit embarrassing)!

Learning how to hold breath / blow bubbles.

Privileges Revoked

We went to the library last week. Since Brayden was not listening very well I told him he cannot have computer time while we were there. I said “you’ve lost your computer time". He replied very defiantly “well, I’ll find it!”

Patience is a Virtue

As I was trying to get Brayden changed for bed, he kept wiggling (as usual). I told him "I've lost my patience" and to cooperate. He said "I still have my patience. Where did yours go? When will you get your patience back?" When I told him maybe tomorrow I'll have them back, he said "I want you to have them back now!"

October 2008 - Mt. St. Helens

We gave Brayden a history and Geology lesson by visiting Mt. St. Helens on October 19th. When we told Brayden we were going to go, he asked if fire shoots out of it. Once we got there, we watched a short video that made Brayden want to see it even less. Of course, once he understood that fire is not shooting out of the volanoe, he was very excited.

October 2008 - Family Fun Center

We spent an afternoon at Wilsonville's Family Fun Center with some friends. Unfortunately most of games were for older children. However, Rob and Brayden did take advantage of the bumper boats and had a great time. Noah and I watched and enjoyed the sun!
