Mr Chatterbox

Well Brayden has found his voice and gee is he using it. He's a right little chatterbox now and if he's not repeating everything he hears - from us or a tv show or commercial or a song  - he just babbles about what ever he's thinking. 


The other day he was walking around the house saying "Everybody! Me done big pooooo!" Of course because we laughed he kept on saying it. He loves riding his bikes, running around the house, playing hide and seek and jumping on the trampoline.
Doggies are his favourite, especially Reesey's dog Lola, although he tries to like leopards and whales because he knows his big brother does.
He loves strawberry sticks, sausages, rockmelon, water melon, peanut butter sandwiches (pronounced peta butter), cheese, ice blocks and the usual - chocolate and lollies whenever he can scam one.
One of his favourite things to say is "WATCH ME" then he jumps off, swings from or climbs up something. He's definately a little entertainer and is so much fun to be around.
He also likes to take things he knows Liam likes and says "Liam, me got ...... HA HA".


Liam is 4 and a 1/2 now and it's like I can see him growing in front of me. He's getting so tall and is almost eating us out of house and home. He's the best big brother ever although he does like to tease Brayden occasionally (and increasingly). He lets Brayden fall asleep in his bed with him most nights, as long as Brayden promises not to touch his 'stuff'.
He's absolutely CRAZY about leopards and whales and loves cutting out pictures of them. We went to a Marine research centre at Terrigal last weekend and he painted a plaster model of a whale which just made his day. His room is covered in everything leopard and whale (despite my efforts in giving the room a surfing sort of theme). He's even added small pictures of them to a family tree picture I have so it looks like his great grandfather was a whale and his sister is a leopard.
He loves watching ABC kids and would do so for every waking moment if we'd allow it but he also likes to ride his bikes and run around. He's pretty good at hide and seek and love love loves to do craft. That's my best bribery tool. I usually promise him we'll do some craft when he gets home from pre-school, just to help him get through the day. 
He loves his cousin Reesey to bits and always looks forward to seeing her.
He made my day last week when he ran up and hugged me and said 'you're the best mum'. It was a moment i'll never forget.

They're the best kids in the world.
