Funny Brayden

My Brayden has been a funny guy over this weekend. I thought I would share some of our adventures.

It all started Saturday afternoon at Kroger. Kroger was a madhouse because A) it was Saturday afternoon, and B) the trusty weatherman was calling for snow. Brayden and I had successfully navigated our way through the store and were unloading our groceries onto the checkout belt-thingy. As Brayden is unloading his buggy, I began to dig through my purse for my Kroger Plus card. This is the precise moment I realize...I don't have my wallet. I immediately feel like I am going to be sick. "Oh, Brayden! I don't have my wallet." The checkout girl tells me it's okay, happens all the time, and she can check us out, suspend the transaction, and I can return with my wallet to pay for our purchases. I have to mention that I called Scott somewhere in the middle of this, as if he was going to be able to save me. Unfortunately, I had left in the car with the only carseat we own for Brody....and Brody was not with me, so Scott couldn't rescue me. Anyway, Brayden and I left Kroger groceryless and returned home to get my wallet. On our way back to the store, we had the following conversation:

Mom: "I can't believe I did forgot my wallet at home. I swear, Brayden, I thought I was going to be sick when I realized I didn't have it."
Brayden: "Mom, when you said that, I felt really sorry for you."

Thanks, Buddy.

Moving on to Sunday. Brayden and I were out together again. We went to Mamaw's for lunch. On our way home, Brayden starts telling me some story, which I quickly decided was one of his creative-storytelling exercises (meaning: he was making up every word of it). My mind wandered (bad Mommy, I know), but I was quickly brought back with this sentence...

"I know it happened, Mom. Michael's grandfather told him about it and he was alive a really long time ago....like 1980."

Did I mention I adore how very very young my children make me feel? Humph. I guess not so much, huh?

In other, totally unrelated news, Brody had his first ever real haircut on Saturday. Scott and I took him to the Smart Style salon to get his beautiful curls cut off. I told Scott while we were there, I hoped he got a good look at Brody before we went in because he went in a baby, but was coming out a big boy. He looks adorable, of course, but I miss his long hair. I don't miss the half-hour it took to get it dry, though. School pictures on Tuesday, so we had to do something with it. I haven't snapped any pictures of it, but as soon as I do, I'll post one for all to see.

And I'd like to send a shout out to my blogger buddies, Kathryn and Natascha, who have been together with all the kids since sometime on Friday and have yet to post a single picture. Clearly disappointed here, girls. Can we remedy this situation ASAP. Thanks so much. :-)
