We've Been Busy!

Brody has grown up a lot in the last couple weeks. It has been amazing to watch how independent he has started to become after moving to the preschool class.
He moved in to his big boy bed two weeks ago. We have been holding on to the crib because he never tried to climb out of it....but figured it was time to let him grow up. He really loves his "Queen" (Lightning McQueen) bed!

A few weeks ago Brody went to stay with my parents for the weekend. They were able to take him to the Michigan State University's Small Animal Day. My mom has been planning this since last year (I'm not sure who enjoyed it more).

Last Wednesday was Brody's second time "performing" in front of a crowd. His daycare has started hosting "galas" for the kids to sing songs and read stories for their families. Last January Brody wouldn't even look into the audience and clung to his teacher. This time he waved and smiled at Jim, my parents and I. What a change!

About a month ago Jim and I took a day off together to research swing sets for Brody. After all of our waiting it finally arrived last Friday. It was so much fun to watch Brody discover it in the backyard. He is proving to be quite the daredevil climbing the rock wall already!

Last Saturday morning Brody was playing a little too quietly his toy room. When I went to check on him this is what I found! This one is for you nanny! All of the spiderman stickers you sent him for Easter were on the front and back of his shirt! He was so proud!
Here he is saying "SPIDERMAN"!
The highlight of Brody's weekend was visiting Uncle Neal and his airplanes. It was so much fun to watch him explore and "drive" the planes with Bobo and Uncle Neal! How lucky he is to have the opportunity to see them up close and personal. Thanks Uncle Neal - you are the coolest!

Brody: How lucky you are to get such a great swing set, sure looks like fun. Tell grandma sue I am so jealous of her time with you , it looks like you both really enjoyed the animals. Also tell Uncle neal that Nanny would love to see the airplanes up close like you. What a lucky little boy. Good luck with your great swing set, have fun. Love NANNY
