happy birthday to our b-dawg

bray is now officially four and can stop saying 'almost' four when people ask his age. here is some info about our little guy and why we love him...

(yesterday at school, his teacher let him be special helper for his bday. he loves being special helper and was so happy. he got a balloon and crown to wear for the day. he loves it and woke up this morning wearing it)

bray is the best 1st child anyone could ask for. he's always been such a loving little boy. he has always been an independant child. he hates that i make him let me brush his teeth before he can (i figure he won't do as good as job as me...yet). he has always been a pretty good listener and is always trying to be a 'good' boy. this kid is the greatest cleaner. i wouldn't go as far to say he loves cleaning but he is always helping me clean and does a great job. you know how some kids get distracted once they start and play with the toys instead? he actually finishes cleaning everything up. he has so much energy and we can't seem to go a week without him getting some kind of scratch, bruise, or cut. he really is the sweetest kid. he is a great older brother. ani is soooo mean to him and he is always watching out for her and plays with her all the time. she is very lucky that he is so forgiving and patient. i would have cut her off the last time she threw a truck at my head and fish hooked my mouth. :) bray can make friends with anyone and everyone. he loves anyone that will play with him (he might be too friendly).



shows he loves--transformers, dinosaur king, dino squad, and some of his classic favorites--thomas, diego, cars, and signing times.



food he loves to eat-- tacos, apples, pears, gogurt, kalbi, chocolate ice cream, chocolate donuts, grapes, mandarin oranges (probably his favorite right now), and popcorn.



things he enjoys-- he loves going to the park, kangaroo zoo, riding bikes, playing with his friends, watching his shows, going to preschool, dancing, singing, calling family for his nightly calls to sing songs, transforming into cars or dinosaurs, roar like dinos, he likes to read books, color, and write his name.



favorite sayings-- "hello guys, i'm right here", "what the...?", "yah right guys", "ani is hitting me", and "don't touch my sister!"



i don't know if he realizes yet how lucky he is to be surrounded by so much family and friends that love him dearly. he is a lucky boy and we are so lucky to have him a part of our little family.
