Brady Stories

Brady uses hidden meanings:

Brady likes to tell each of us (hopefully not anyone else) "You're mean" and we have scolded him enough times that he quickly says "You're nice" immediately after the insult. This week, he has caught on to the fact that he always gets scolded, so now he just says "You're nice" with a TONE. We know what he really means...but he thinks because he is saying the word nice that it is all better. All you can do is smile sometimes!

Brady doesn't want a follower:

Usually it is the older brother that has to worry about the little brother tag along. In our case, Brady has the big brother being the annoying tag along. Last night, Connor climbed into bed with Brady in the middle of the night. Brady was so annoyed by that fact that after telling Connor to stay out of his bed, he decided he was not going to sit on the couch and watch TV with Connor before school. Instead, he was going to eat his breakfast in the kitchen and visit with Daddy. When we got to school, I could tell that Brady wanted to pick out his own activity and do his own thing. I think the teachers even sensed it since they told Connor his friend should be arriving soon. Instead, Connor asked Brady if he could play with him and he got a hesitant "sure". Sorry Brady...you can't go far with Connor being at the same school, on the same Soccer team, and living in the same household. They are supposed to share a bedroom come January...we may need to revisit that plan.
