Brady's first post

Hi everyone, it's Brady. Mom says now that I'm 2 I should start pulling my own weight by writing some posts on our family blog. I just have so much to say these days; she wants the rest of the world to hear what I have to say too!

So what have I been up to?!

Well, last weekend my Grandma Eatherton came to visit. We always have such a good time while she's here. I took her to this cool place called Happy Hallow, where they have rides and parks, even a few animals and a petting zoo.

Dad and I on the carousel. Don't worry, that polar bear isn't real.

These lady bugs go round and round, really fast!

Taking a break and having a snack with Grandma and Daddy

Me feeding a goat

Unfortunately, this week I caught a cold. Maybe I got it from that goat. I'm really good at sharing, so I gave it to my Mom. The coughing has been keeping me from getting good sleep, so I've been a little crabby. Mom is too :) Thankfully we're starting to feel better; it's really boring being cooped up in our house.

On Tuesday, there was a man on TV talking for a long time, so I asked Mommy, "who is that Mommy, who is that?!" She told me that it was our President, Barack Obama. I told her that I did not want to watch the President on TV anymore and she said that there were probably a lot of other people who felt the same way I did.

Last night we went to dinner at this new place I love called Armadillo Willy's (I just like saying, "armadillo". Oh, and they have tater tots.) Mom was video taping me trying to get an ice cube out of the big water cup, for some reason she thought it was hilarious. After I was done with my trick, Mommy asked me if I remembered who the President was, and I did! Daddy was really proud of me.



Today it rained off and on, so we spent most of the day in the house. It wasn't too bad though, Daddy is really good at "playing train table" and also "doing rock band". I love jamming out to Train and Genesis. Mom usually hides when we do this. Don't worry, I give the Black Eyed Peas plenty of love when we're in the car just the two of us :)

In the afternoon, the sun finally came out, so I put on my fireman rain boots and rain coat and went outside to splash in the puddles. I saw a slimy worm and a squirrel with a missing tail. The squirrel has nothing to do with the rain, I just like to talk about it...



Mommy went to look at a new preschool for me to join in the fall. She said it was a really cool place and that I would love it. This is the school where my friend Lyla is going to go. Right now I'm going to a "daycare" two full days a week, but Mommy says that I'm not being stimulated enough there, so I may be going to this new school starting in August. I told her I was ready to go tomorrow. I'm such a big boy.

Well, I hope you liked my first blog post. I'll pop in from time to time to tell you about what I'm up to, since I can do it way better than Mommy or Daddy. G'night!
