Well tonight was a toddler milestone. You poopied in the potty. You really weren't that thrilled with yourself. You were, "ok so I did it, now let me finish my book". If it doesn't have wheels you just don't care much. I bought a new ottoman today and Daddy said it is an automan because you already have it filled with cars. Oh but you do love to read. We read two books tonight. Our routine is three but Dumbo is long so we just did two then you wanted to sleep with your "trunk", your plush elephant with your name embroidered on it. I was leaving the room and you yelled "Mommy" I went back and you said "pizza". Yes you are thinking about Tuesday school tomorrow and you have pizza every Tuesday for lunch. Too funny.
Friday was also a milestone.....you were extremely stubborn. But you have the best Daddy ever so I think it will be ok. Daddy usually leaves early, most of the time we are still in bed. But Friday he didn't have to so we were eating breakfast all together when you threw your truck. I don't remember the quick details you were mad and toss. Daddy or I asked you to say sorry and you could have your truck back. Not a chance. Daddy called his clients and told them he was running late and he talked with you. He off-set his entire day by 2 hours (because that's how long it took you - 2 hours 20 minutes to be exact - to say sorry) You sat on the dinning room chair. Daddy would ask you to say sorry - nothing. I would put 5 minutes on the timer. Daddy would come back - nope. Finally during one of our talks I asked you when Daddy opened the door what were you going to say to him. You whispered "sarwy". I told Daddy to come up stairs you had something to say to him. He sat in front of you and and you sheepishly looked up and said "I sawry". I don't know who I was more proud of. Daddy for putting his day on hold because you are more important. Or you for having a humble heart. All I know is I love my boys.
I pray you always have a humble heart and realize Friday wasn't about a truck. It was about being repentant and doing what is right. All Daddy was asking you to do is what God asks all of us to do. Just look up and say "I'm sorry". None of us deserve heaven, Little Man. God just gave it to us if we accept Him. He offers forgiveness as easily as your daddy did over a thrown truck for even our deepest sins. I pray you get that early in life. I pray you love, honor, and serve God all the days of your life and be obedient to Him. You have an awesome role-model...just follow Daddy.

So glad you've started your web page again. I can see a new book in the making.
Love the picture of Brent and Brody..so cute.
Potty training can be hard, but one day you'll realize "wow, no accidents today". You'll smile, but then you'll go "oh no...my baby is growing up. Good luck.
Love you all

I too am glad for the web page again. Can't wait to hear all "The wonderful adventures of Brody" He is so special to all of us. The stubborn streak is definately inheirted, but I know you both will train him into a productive use of that trait. You are doing a fine job, and I love you all the more for it! The stuboorness just means he does not give up easily, and used properly will help him accomplish great things! Love, Aunt Naomi
Love the picture! Look forward to following Brody! Love you all!
