Reasons Brennan is Freaking Out
Today Brennan is 43 months old. Instead of doing a traditional "Dear Brennan" post today, I thought I'd do something a little different.
Inspired by the blog Reasons My Son is Crying and an article I recently read entitled 46 Reasons My Toddler Might be Freaking Out I thought I'd compile a nice little list of reasons Brennan may be freaking out. These are very specific to Brennan, so they might not be funny to everyone, but he likes things the way he likes them and you better watch out if you don't do something right.
Reasons Brennan May be Freaking Out:
1. His bathroom stool is facing the wrong direction.
2. His dirty clothes are not in his hamper.
3. His light saber is upside down next to his toy box.
4. His Bible isn't in the right spot on his bedside table.
5. His penis is wrong in his underpants.
6. His pillow fell down onto his bed.
7. There isn't a pink ____ to choose when picking a prize.
8. His fork won't pick up his food.
9. The outside of his cup is wet.
10. Bryce is touching him.
11. I didn't let him press the buttons on the microwave.
12. I forgot to put socks on him at bedtime.
13. I didn't hang his backpack up on the hook in his room.
14. He rolled (spun) a 6, but is only 4 spaces away from the finish in a board game.
15. I didn't go down the aisles in numerical order at the commissary.
16. Someone skipped a number when counting.
17. I told him bath time is at 7:15, then we start playing and realize the clock says 7:16.
18. There is hair on his hand.
19. We need to go on I-95S and he wants to go North.
20. We didn't drive him by the newly renovated blue house in our neighborhood for the fiftieth time.
21. I need to clip his fingernails or God forbid his toenails.
22. I didn't put his peach oatmeal in the matching orange bowl for breakfast.
I'm sure I could think of some more, but 22 is a pretty good place to stop. 22 is just over half of how many months old Brennan is today and since he is 3 years old, he could also be freaking out that the opposite of all these things are happening. ;)
Brennan, momma loves you and all your little quirks!

Sunday Mornings
I shared both of these pictures on Instagram yesterday, but I just think they are so cute so I'm sharing them here too.
I took these yesterday before church. Sunday mornings are LONG for us. We are at church for over 4 hours each Sunday because we have worship team rehearsal, Sunday school, and church. It is NOT easy to get up and get two young kids ready for that each week. And sometimes, like yesterday, Kyle has duty and I have get them there all by myself. It's especially hard when they are Bryce's age and still taking two naps/day because he doesn't get a good morning nap at church usually. It's something we are committed to doing each week and I'm so glad we do it.
It teaches Brennan patience because he has to sit and wait for us while we rehearse with the worship team. (Yes he usually has his iPad, but still he sits still and plays it nicely most weeks). Brennan LOVES his class at church. Brennan was (is??) a Momma's boy and had pretty bad separation anxiety for awhile, but we persevered through that and it's paid off. I love hearing about what he did in class and when he sings songs he's learned there it makes my heart happy.
I love singing on our church's praise team. It's fun getting to learn new songs. And I get to do it alongside one of my best friends and my hubby, so that's a bonus. Just this week, I transitioned from teaching first and second grade Sunday school to volunteering in the nursery during the Sunday school hour. I'm looking forward to this new job and giving the littlest kids a familiar face to see week when they get dropped off.
Last night Brennan started something new too; it was his first night of AWANA. And even though he's only three, he's been invited to join the children's choir. I'm so glad he has all these opportunities to learn about Jesus at such a young age!
It's such a blessing that we found Groton Heights Baptist Church. It's not easy for military families to find a church home and we have found a great one where we get to hear a wonderful, Bible-based message each week. We've found a great place to get plugged in!

Ledyard Fair
I wanted to share a few pictures tonight before I went to bed of the fun we had at the Ledyard Fair. When Brennan woke up from his nap, we told him we were going and he was so excited. He had a great time riding rides. I think this kid will love roller coasters when he's older!
