Its always the little things that Brady does that seem so special to me. O.K. So maybe that sounds a little cheesy, but its the truth. I would love to start a book of all the cute things Brady does (thanks for the idea Daddy), but I realized that everything he does I think is cute. So I would be forever writing them down, instead of enjoying every second of it.
For parents, I think that watching those moments is the payoff for all of the dirty diapers and all of the restless nights. It would be a perfect world if everybody that loves a child could see everything they do the first time it happens, but that would not be possible. Here enters the second best thing to watching the cute things happen, telling anyone with ears about it. Human memories aren't the greatest and through time some of the cute and wonderful things maybe forgot, but they will only be replaced by better and better memories, if they need replacing at all. Some images, the most important ones, will last a lifetime!!
Sorry for the long winded intro. It is all just to tell a short story
Last night, Sara, Brady and I were decorating for Halloween and Brady, through a 100+ temperature I might add, was excitedly helping in every way he could. I got out the little "Happy Halloween" sign in the picture and leaned it against the tree while I went to get my hammer and other tools. I saw Brady walk over to inspect the sign and in doing so inadvertently knocked it over.
I figured I would just help him pick it up when I got back, but when I returned he had leaned it back against the tree, only, not being able to pick up the heavy end he had to put it back upside down! It was perfectly placed back were I had it, just with the stake in the air.
Sara told me he is well on his way to being my little helper. All I can say to that is, "I can't wait!" J.W.
It is awesome to have such wonderful company as you and Sara in the "parents club". Until someone becomes an official memeber, they really do not get "it"....the memories that are made everyday, with each smile and hug, and dirty diaper!
ReplyDeleteI have such a warm fuzzy feeling when I read this posting JW....I can just hear the love in your words for that beautiful baby boy of yours!
Way to go JW, way to go!!
