This is Bradyn. He was/is SOOO cute! What cheeks! Bradyn was about a year old here ... and yes, he loved swwwt potatoes and carrots! Can you tell from his orange nose?! Yesterday at age 6, he entered first grade. There are days like yesterday when I watch my second child entering first grade that I have to hide a tear thinking about how the time flies by far to fast. My mom is always telling me time will fly ... and I am always thinking,"it better fly, or my money's on me being fully insane." Bradyn was borderline coma induced about first grade. Every time I asked if he was excited he simply said, "uh, no, not really" and I think he really didn't care. Is this normal? Since Bradyn is the second and has an older brother, he is all things cool. His school is a few blocks away and the morning was gorgeous so we decided to walk. Caden packed into his "motorcycle" (a tricycle wiht a handle I push while he stands up on it and makes "vrrrooom, vrrrommm, go, go now" sounds) and we were off. Caden chattered the whole way telling me to "go, go now" and Bradyn talked a little bit. As we got closer I figured the kid would be a little nervous, I mean this was first grade, so I offered a hand. He REFUSED! WHAT! I offered again and pointed out that the other mommies were holding their kids hands so this was okay. He again said, "Mooooom, I'm to old for that!" AUGH! He is not to old! I took a moment to contain my emotions at the fact that this poor child was the beneficiary of his elder brother's teenager wisdom. He did let me half heartedly hug him and I snuck in a kiss on the cheek that he promptly responded with, "MOOOOOOM!" Okay, it broke my heart a little. I admit it. But he was not nervous, not even a little, and he stood in the line ready to be called in by his teacher. As he entered the school I thought to myself, "goodbye my sweet little Bradyn, please let the world be kind."
