Braxon stories





Braxon has been getting smarter, sillier, moodier, funnier etc. within the past few months. His personality is really starting to show and he's really fun to be around. Well, he's always been fun to be around but now he can communicate better and every day he does something new. I always have an interesting story to tell Chris when he gets home. Anway, here's the latest of the Braxon stories.... Braxon is finally in nursery now! Well, he has been for a couple months (halleluiah) and he's been learning to fold his arms and close his eyes for prayers. We've been teaching him this at home too and he's getting good at it but he just does it for a few seconds. The other day I sat down with him to eat lunch and just started eating. Then I hear Braxon say "Momma!" and he made a big exagerated move where he folded his arms and bowed his head! It was so sweet that he knew that we say a prayer before every meal and that he reminded me! I know Braxon was sent here to make us stronger. Every day has some sort of challenge, in a good way! That brings me to my next story...

Braxon was taking a nap and I was using this time to read up on my classes since this was the first day I started them. They are all online and I think they will be pretty tough. I'll have to prioritize really well. So I spent about 3 hours on them and was tired of doing that so I wanted to just relax for a bit. I started watching Keeping Up With the Kardashians when I heard Braxon talking in his crib. The show had about 20 min left and I figured Braxon was just playing in his crib, cause he was just babbling to himself so I decided to just watch the rest of the show. When it was over I went into his room and was immediately overcome with a wretched stench. Smelled like poop actually. "Dang" I thought, "He must've leaked through his diaper". Checked the diaper and sure enough he'd pooped. But it was something more than that.... I moved his blankets and to my horror found a poopy diaper all strung out through the crib, on his face, hands, clothes, hair, his big stuffed dog, and all his blankets. Poor thing, I felt so bad and was seriously puzzled about how that diaper got in there. The only thing I could think of was that he somehow pulled one out of the diaper genie thats on the side of his crib. The diaper must not have been pushed down all the way. So friends.... If any of you have a diaper genie push down the diapers all the way and don't put it where they can reach it! Lesson learned.

oh yuck! i am so grateful i have not had that experience....yet. i'm sure i'll get my turn. unless we are done having children, in that case we are almost out of the danger zone. though i highly doubt this is the end for us.
