This past week, our little family went on a much needed and much deserved vacation. We were in CA for 4 glorious days and enjoyed Newport Beach, both Disney parks, and Laguna Beach. We had an absolute blast and cannot wait to do it agian. Braydon especially can't wait to go back to the beach and build sand castles, fly like Superman at California Vaction's ride California Soarin and to also "boom Zurg" on the "Buzz Ride" at Disneyland.
Yesterday we celebrated Braydon's 3rd birthday with a Spiderman themed party (Braydon's wishes). Braydon was SUPPOSE to dress up like Spiderman, but decided not to as soon as he saw his Daddy.
Daddy dressed up as The Hulk, just as Braydon asked him to do. Even though, for the past 3 weeks, Daddy and Braydon discussed that Daddy was going to be The Hulk and would be GREEN like The Hulk, Braydon decided almost immediately upon seeing Daddy yesterday, that he DID NOT like Daddy green... a meltdown followed shortly thereafter, but he finally came around once Daddy washed the green off his face.
Yesterday was a great day, and I cannot believe our sweet baby is a three year old little boy (who loves all things Super Hero)!
Braydon (34 months old today) has decided that he's ready to potty-train! Yesterday, after nap Braydon decided that he was done with diapers and potty chair bound! It's been a great (almost) 2 days, and I hope and pray this continues!
Go ahead and mention my child, the one that died, you know. Don’t worry about hurting me further, the depth of my pain doesn’t show. Don’t worry about making me cry, I’m already crying inside. Help me to heal by releasing the tears that I try to hide. I’m hurt when you just keep silent, pretending he didn’t exist. I’d rather you mention my child, knowing that he has been missed. You asked me how I was doing, I said “pretty good” or “fine”. But healing is something ongoing, I feel it will take a lifetime. ~ Elizabeth Dent ~
