Donuts With Dad

This week was "Donuts With Dad" at Tyler's preschool.  :-)  Dan took Tyler to school and was then allowed (with the other dads) to stay for the first hour.  I loved hearing about his visit when he got back!  He showed me the "King Daddy" crown that he got to wear the entire time.  :-)  All of the students had memorized a book called "My Daddy and Me" to read to their dads.  Tyler got to put shaving cream on Dan's face then use a popsicle stick to "shave" his face.  :-)  I was cracking up when Dan told me that all of the students had answered questions about their dads and the teachers took turns reading some of the information.  They didn't say which student had provided the information so the dads had to raise their hand when they thought the descriptions were about them. When Dan heard, "This dad wears skeleton pajama pants, likes to eat pancakes from McDonalds, and their child wants to give them a lego Robin," he raised his hand and said, "That's me!"  :-)  All of the students had drawn pictures of themselves with their dads, doing a fun activity.  Dan said most of the students had drawn pictures playing baseball or reading with their dads...while Tyler's drawing was of them playing video games!  :-) They got to put their hands in paint to make their handprints, and Tyler chose the pink paint.  :-)  They both had a lot of fun!

Bray Bray

Ironically, after spending seven years trying to talk Dan into using the name Brady, I don't tend to call my son by his name.  :-)  I keep calling Brady "Bray Bray" or "Bray".  Or of course, "brother".  :-)  He is 11 weeks old, and he likes to eat every two hours.  But between his 10:30 feeding and his 8:30 feeding, he usually gets up once, either at 3:30 or 5:30.  He's been so good at night, always going right back to sleep.  (Of course I know this could change at any moment!)  But during the day, a 36 minute nap on his own is a miracle. :-)  He will sleep longer if we are out and about, running errands or in the car.  At home he wants to be held while he sleeps.  He loves to stand and play!  We love his smiles and his blue eyes and how he is always so happy.  It's very rare that he will cry for more than a minute.  He is a little dream baby and we love him so much!!

Brady was so tiny!  This photo was taken in the hospital when he was one day old.  :-)

Tyler & Brady

I love every time I get to say, "the boys" or "my boys" or "our two boys".  :-)  Tyler and I will still say to each other, "Can you believe we have a baby?"  :-)  Our boys have been enjoying time with friends lately.  They had a playdate with Dylan and Baby Lily and got to spend some time outside with them.  They also went to Zachary's 5th birthday party, where they got to see Austin, Noah, Alex, Joey, and Josh!  They had fun dressing up for Read Across America Day and we are loving Brady's smiles each day!!  :-)
