So over the last couple of months, we've started a new tradition. After either Nick or I pick Brixon up at school on Friday, we bring him to Dairy Queen. Brix and I usually share a Butterfinger Blizzard, and sit by the window so we can watch the cars and trucks go by. This is probably what I look forward to most every week. It's such an everyday, normal thing, but we all love spending that time together so much, especially after a busy week!
Spending as much time together as we can is so important, as Brixon is growing into a little boy more and more every day. He now responds to questions by saying 'nope' or 'yup!' He's also starting to put together two-and-three word phrases; "no, mommy, no," "shoes on, please." A few weeks ago, he even repeated "love you" for the first time! We've been working on that one for a while! It seemed like he would repeat everything but that! One of my favorite things he's been doing lately is he'll pretend to smell your feet, and then scrunch his nose and say "Peeeeeeyooooooou!!!" We are always teasing him because he has really stinky feet, so now he's doing it to everyone else :) He absolutely loves to be outdoors, and if I let him, he would run around the house pulling his wagon all day long. He seems to be getting quite the independent streak, and doesn't want to hold my hand much anymore :( Hopefully that's just a phase!! He is also starting to engage in pretend play. He'll drive his little cars around the house, and 'fly' his airplane while making noises and talking...it is so cool to see him do that!
We're getting ready for Halloween, too...I think he and his friend, Carter, are going to be a hamburger and fries, with Wrigley as a cup of pop! hehe...I'm taking on the task of making Brixon's fries, so if you notice that I haven't updated the blog in a while, it's probably because I have third-degree hot glue gun burns :)
