It’s hard to believe our quiet little blue eyed boy is on the verge of teen years. It seems like just yesterday he was flying his toy planes around and eating his cheddar bunnies while watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. And now, as I type this, I’m currently washing up a week’s worth of his smelly laundry from his first sleepaway camp that he just returned from where he learned to design flying gliders and all about Lego robotics. Our sweet Brady-boo still has his big kind heart from his toddler years- but he’s got a little older kid independence mixed in there now. He is still fascinated by building and understanding the way things work. He still has a HUGE appetite (and God only knows where he puts it all!) He still loves movies and music. And, he’s still a quirky daydreamer with plans to discover a dinosaur fossil when he grows up. It’s bittersweet to see our little guy grow up into this pre-teen kiddo, but he makes us proud every day. He boldly tries new things and doesn’t let a challenge deter him. He is fiercely himself in a crowd of middle schoolers all trying to out “TikTok” each other in an effort to fit in. He could spend hours with his books and playing video games with his brother. He is curious about the world and makes it better just by being in it. We love you lots, B-man!
