Random thoughts & pipe cleaners

Funniest recent quote: "Bites aren't kisses!"

His first joke:  What time is it?  Time to get a watch!

This week his preschool class is learning about the 5 senses.  They asked each child two questions. What is your favorite taste?  Braxton said "toast and chicken" What is your favorite smell?  Braxton said "gray special milk" (translation: chocolate milk)

Current challenge: potty training (he is just not "getting it").

Most recent random & fun activity - putting pipe cleaner pieces through holes in the strainer.  This kept him busy today for over an hour!

3 year old photo shoot

Last week Braxton had his 3 year old photos taken!  

 

Mall of America

Avery gave Braxton an unlimited wristband for the park at Mall of America for his birthday.  This weekend we got together so Braxton and Avery could ride the rides (with chaperones when needed)!

Valentine Party

This week we went to Braxton's Valentine party at daycare (photo below with his teacher Miss April and the special bag he decorated).  The question of the week was "Who is your valentine?"  Braxton answered "My Cats".  

Valentines for Daycare

We are so thankful that the Heldt 3 are now are all healthy!

Braxton's assignment for school this week is to bring 24 Valentines to share with his friends for the Valentine's party on Tuesday.  I found a free pattern to print, and Braxton and I hit the dollar store to buy dinosaurs and secured them to the papers with orange pipe cleaners.  They all say "I'm WILD about you Valentine" and turned out really cute!

I found this cute valentine idea (and free printable) from the website:

Birthday Dinner

On Wednesday this week Denise was in town for a work training. She and Brandon took Brock & I out to eat for an early birthday present. It was a really fun treat!  They also took this cute photo of me and my beloved!

Feburary 5th

We took a few photos outside today because it's February 5th and we have no snow in our yard (if you look very closely you can see a little bit of snow in our neighbors yards).

...and here is one video of Braxton making up a song (lyrics below).

Song Lyrics:

But they were hiding

And they were loud

And then they were not listening

And they were drawing on the Lightening McQueen thing

And they were ???
And they were ???
And they were ???

And then they throwed up

And they were said mommy and daddy we throwed up

And they said okay well, should you get a bandaid when you do throw up?

And we said no we don’t need a bandaid
