Another Sweet Night

Today was definitely an eventfully day. Since I took the truck in Friday to get some work done, I had scheduled to pick it up this morning. Therefore, I had the driver from the dealership pick us up and take Brayden and I back to pick up the Trailblazer. We did not make Braydens Gymboree class, because we had to pick up the truck, so instead; we came home, cuddled, and watched a movie on the living room floor.

That seems to be our new thing on the weekends, cuddling, and watching a movie on the floor. After the movie, lunch, and a much-needed nap, I took Brayden to the on post hourly daycare. Since Mike is deployed, we are allotted 16 free hours of care. Therefore, to test it out—I scheduled him for care today from 2-6 p.m.

The daycare was okay…It really made me appreciate how lucky we are to have him in at CSU’s childcare. We love them over there!! Honestly, you cannot complain when it is free, though! In addition, it is nice to have some time to catch up on things and to have a few hours to myself and not have to worry about school.

After I picked him up from daycare, we went and got ice cream! It was yummy. Anyway, the reason for this post is to document the moment Brayden and I shared tonight as I was laying him down to go to sleep. As usual, I read him his favorite book, “Duck Goes Potty.” But, tonight was different. I put my head next to him while he was lying in his bed, and he started rubbing my head! Normally, it is the opposite.

If I tried to lift my head up, he would tell me, “Mommy lay down.” However, what was so sweet about the whole thing is that he would whisper when he told me to put my head down. Naturally, I could not move and succumbed to him. Brayden was also just being so lovable and it is moments like these that I wish could last forever.

Extra:Before I forget, I wanted everyone to know that Brayden is able to climb in and out of both vehicles by himself. He even was able to get himself out of the trailblazer today, without any help! Brayden is very independent and enjoys doing things on his own regardless of how frustrated he becomes. This child is such a blessing! I love him!

Below are some pictures of Brayden and I having some fun the other night. We were dancing and running around the house having a blast!!!!


Brayden thinks it is fun to try and get into all of Daddy's stuff! Do not worry Mike I saved it all! :-)




Looking at a scrapbook Nicky made for Mike like five-years-ago!
