Brayden-ism's...

Lately it seems like Brayden is doing or saying something that is over the top adorable and incredibly sweet...I want to post about them on here, since he is growing up way too fast and I'd like to remember them forever!!!

There are a bunch of them so I'll just put an {* }next to each new post.  Most of these were posted on facebook so I just copied my status from there and pasted it here....just choosin easy people! :)

*Proud Mom moment for the day again goes to BRAYDEN...It's hard to believe my heart could swell any more for this kid...then he goes and does the most considerate things...for example after church we were walking to the bishops office so he could get his birthday treat and he quickly sits down in the only seat left available outside his office, only to turn and see that a lady from the ward was com

ing with her special needs boy AND Brayden hurry and jumps right back out of the chair so that she could have the open seat....without any prompting from anyone. That's just the kind of kid he is. {I give props to my husband because I know we haven't specifically taught that kind of chivalry/respect to him, yet he watches the amazing example that his daddy is!!!

*I found a cute little paper heart on my pillow and my bed made {in true little kid fashion}...I asked Paige if she put it there and she said no and when my husband also said no, I thought to ask Brayden but didn't remember to...well today that little sweetheart of mine asks me..."Mommy did you find a heart on your pillow with your bed made?...I responded with "YES!, did you do that?"...he said "Yes, didn't you see the B on it?" {after looking at it again, sure enough the B was written in the same color of crayon as the paper...how did I miss that?!} I guess he was told from his teachers to do something that was helpful for his parents and to leave the heart there....so he chose to do it for me! I don't know what I did to deserve such an adorable kid, but man am I grateful for him!!!

*Highlights of the night....we are just leaving to go trick or treating and get to the house of our neighbors just two doors down, among the chaos Brayden see's the bowl of candy sitting next to the chair in front of their house, so he goes over bends down and grabs a piece and the neighbor full on yells at him saying "get out of the candy"...then says her sons name, after we're all looking at her with wide eyes...a couple of us say "That was Brayden"...we all busted up laughing. Poor Brayden thought he was getting into trouble for picking up a piece rather than having it handed to him. SOOOO funny!

OH and add to that, towards the end my sweet Brayden was thoughtful enough to ask a couple of the houses if he could pick a piece of candy for his mom. {Without any prompting from any of us, he was just sweet enough to think of me back on the sidewalk waiting for them}. Man I love, love, LOVE that kid!!!

*Brayden: "Hey follow me on Critter"...lol!!! Guess he's heard about twitter...not sure how, but Critter is probably WAY better!!!

*Today's sweet moment goes to Brayden again...Paige says something to me about needing to draw a dragon so she can enter the contest at school because if you win your prize is a new book. She asked me to help her draw one, I told her it nee

ded to be her drawing not mine...Brayden jumped right up and said he would draw her one...this is the result. I thought it was the cutest gesture ever...I LOVE LOVE LOVE that little boy. He melts my heart AND makes me laugh til my sides hurt {when he's not making me crazy, of course}. He is such a gift to us!!!

*Back when we told Brayden we were having another baby we asked him if we wanted a brother or a sister and he responded with "A brother...I can't be nice to another sister!"...Well that lucky boy got his wish, we are having a BOY!!! That makes two girls and two boys here...YAY!!! 

I fully believe all of his random sweetness is God's way of making up for all of the trouble he has gotten into or will...he is 100% boy and tests his boundaries constantly.  It's a good dang thing his cute because he's a handful!!!...and I love every thing about him!!!
