Brady's New Backpack



My mom and I were on a hunt to find Brady a kid's backpack. We were about to give up on the search when my mom found two. She held up a Thomas the Train one and a Toy Story 3 one to give Brady his choice. He chose the Toy Story one. I liked the Thomas one better so I said "He is one, he doesn't know what he wants." I then preceded to put the Thomas the Train backpack on Brady. He didn't want anything to do with it. My mom again asked Brady which one he wanted. He again chose the Toy Story backpack. Grandma put it on him and he waltzed down the aisle.

Timothy is not always to blame

Since living with Timothy I assumed that if I didn't do it Timothy was the one to blame. It has usually been correct up to this point.

This morning I went to let Brady out of his room. I noticed that the fan was on and my mind immediately jumped to the thought that Timothy must have left it on. But as I was telling Brady to come downstairs, he walks right over to the fan, turns it off, and heads downstairs.

Most days I have to get on to Timothy about remembering to shut off the hallway light. Now I can no longer immediately blame him because Brady likes to spend a lot of time turning the light on and off. Luckily when I ask Brady to go turn off the light he enjoys doing it.



These last few weeks I have gotten a little annoyed at the fact that every time I tried to put on my backpack the shoulder straps were buckled together. I thought that Timothy was doing it to make me mad but I just forget to issue my complaint. Today, however Brady was messing with my backpack. When I went to see what he was doing I heard the "click" of the buckle. Brady was the culprit all along.

Finally, I noticed that the patio door got left open. I figured Timothy left it open, so I went to shut it. Later I went to let our dog outside and then Timothy found the door open. He figured I let her in and forgot to close the door. I told him that it wasn't me and we realized that Kaya has figured out a way to open the door when she wants in.

Now, I have learned that I cannot automatically blame Timothy for everything.

July 4th Weekend

We drove up to Minnesota for 4th of July weekend. We had a lot of fun. Brady loved following my little 5 year-old brother around and he copied everything he did. We enjoyed a firework show and every time a firework went off Brady said "Wow!" It was pretty cute.

During the ride there we decided to let Brady show you how smart he is.

Summer Fun!
