Memories

I'm sure there are some things that you will never forget about your babies...memories that will always be held close to your heart.  But just in case, I want to document this so that I can never forget....

My boy Brayden is sooo funny.  Really, he is just so smart and quick its hysterical.  He just gets things.  When we were driving to Virginia last week we went by Target.  He pointed to the sign and said "Store Mama.  Buy drinks.".  I said "Yes B!  That's Target.  That's where Mama gets drinks." ( I always but my vitamin water there).  So we continued our drive and we see another Target sign (hours later) and this time he says "Target Mama.  Buy drinks".  So freakin smart!!

Anyway, back to the special memory of my boy.  Brayden has this little car that he rides around the house.  The seat opens and there is a space to put things.  B always picks his favorite toys and puts them in there.  He drives around the house and will stop, look in and check his toys.  He hides things from Ethan in there too.  He is two and going through the "mine" stage.  So he doesn't always care to share. 

So today he was going up for his nap.  We walked by his car and he had to stop to get a toy from the back (he has to take some special things to bed with him).  He opened up the back, stood there with his chin in his hand and I could hear him "hmmmm".  Brayden almost always does this while making a decision.  He finally chose the tractor, jumped back into my arms and off to bed he went.

I've seen him do this a million times, but today as I watched, I realized that this was such a great memory of him.  This was something that I want to always remember about him.  It's something that will always bring a smile to my face.  It was something I needed to blog about.
