I have totally slacked on the Brody updates compared to what I used to do for Jake.
Here goes..
Brody at 2 years and 9 months.
If you ask him how old he is, he will respond "6". Each. and. every. time. He will not accept that he is 2. He wants to do everything his brother does. Everything. Well, there is one exception..the potty. He has absolutely no desire to use the potty or ever wear underwear. In wanting to keep him my "baby" forever, I am ok with this. For now.
He is a very social boy and will walk up to strangers and tell them "I'm Brody, what is your name?". He has no problem making friends and loves to play with new people. He loves Dells lemonade, freeze pops, playing outside and at the playground, telling knock knock jokes that include the word underwear, the YMCA, most food, getting rocked to sleep, and his family. He does not like to nap in the car or stop jumping and bouncing on the couch. He rarely walks, instead her runs and bounces through the house. He loves to take Jakes toys and run with them. Teasing his brother is on his list of things to do most days. When we dropped him off at daycare 99% of the year this past year he hardly said bye. He seemed OK with being there most days, but was clingy when we would leave and hated to utter a word. He definitely warmed up and enjoyed the days.
The other Bro.. Jake. Hard to believe this boy is now 7. He had a great school year, earning perfect attendance for going each and every day. He had a great birthday at BounceU with several classmates and many friends. He is strong willed and loves to tell jokes, tell stories, and hang out with his family. He has just started to play Minecraft and loves his new "Born to Move" fitness class at the Y as well. He loves to play with Brody and is a great big brother most of the time. Minions are still a favorite of his but lately he has been into Marvel Superheroes such as Iron Man, Hulk and Captain America.
Their 2015 summer has already included a trip to Maine, the children museum in Providence and daily outings with Daddy. There is so much more to look forward to..this summer and beyond.
