He is now 6 1/2 years old and in first grade - amazing!! He is a momma's boy.. always has been and still is. Whenever we ask him who he wants to bring him up to bed at night - 99% of the time his answer will be me. He always comes to me for the answers to questions he has - especially if it is something that he wants because I tend to say YES more than daddy does.
Brevin is such a good kid - he is sensative and will take words and actions to heart. If he has a friend that says something mean to him.. he will come home in tears and it will bother him for days. He is a very active boy which is so good. Right now he is in ski lessons and he loves it! In the spring he will start t-ball again and then maybe football? Not sure I want him to go there yet but we will see. He loves to dance... sometimes I will put on music from my ipod and he LOVES to dance with me!!
He seem to be making new friends everyday - he goes to school with some very special kids.. we are setting up new playdates as we speak!!
He is typical in that he hates doing homework from school - always puts up a fuss when we tell him it is time to do homework. He is doing very well in school - he is reading very well and doing math really well (he doesn't take after me in that area). He says he plays tag at every recess - he loves to run and run and run. Lately he has said that he is going to marry Lindsay... a girl in his class - they seem to get along really well and talk a lot.. hmmm... who knows!!
Brevin is very much into Nascar and Moster trucks - his room has a lot of Nascar posters and other things like that on his wall. He loves to watch the races on TV... Mike took him to his first Nascar race last summer - he had an awesome time and we hope to to this year.. maybe he will let mom join him!!
He also LOVES legos!! He got about 10 sets for Christmas and for the first few days after Christmas he wanted to put them all together - we spent a few moments in tears and frustrations but we got them complete and now he hasn't touched legos in weeks - hopefully that phase is over. He is also into Beyblades.. collecting Pokemon cards and Bakugans.
His favorite tv shows to watch are Minute to Win It, Wipeout and Phineas and Ferb. He also loves Tom and Jerry and Thomas and Friends.
Brevin has been attending church school on Wednesday nights and seems to really like it.. we started going to a new church and we just wrapped up a Starting Point class.. learning more about the church - we really like it and everyone there seems so nice.
Brevin is a picky eater... one thing that he eats a lot is cous cous - he loves that stuff!! Pizza is always a plus! He loves taking those pizza lunchables to school for lunch - I let him do that once a week - other than that I will make him a sandwich.. a cheese sandwich - he won't touch lunchmeat or peanut butter lately. He loves fruit.. strawberries, grapes and apples are his favorite along with raspberries! He will eat carrots and broccoli but that is about it. He will eat fish on occasion and steak and chicken. Other favorite snacks are Pop Tarts, fruit snacks, Teddy Grahams and vanilla wafers. If we would let him.. he would eat cereal with milk at every meal!! Every morning he eats vanilla yogurt with chocolate chips or cereal. He likes pepperidge farm cinnamon bread and pancakes.
Brevin doesn't require a lot of sleep... eventhough we try! He goes to be at 8pm and wakes up between 6 and 7am. If we have something going at night where he doesn't get to bed until later.. he still will always get up between 6 and 7am. He never really fights us going to bed and hardly wakes up during the night - occasionally he will come into our room during the night because he had a bad dream.. we always just let him sleep with us then. He will also come in bed with us during a thunderstorm.. I don't mind that a bit because I never liked thunderstorms and I still don't and I wouldn't want to be sleeping alone during a storm!!
Brevin has been such a joy in our lives - he is so wonderful!!! He is such a good kid and such a good big brother - he plays SO well and so nice with the twins.
Never did I imagine how much I could love someone - I love Brevin more and more with everyday that passes. It is so much fun watching him grow up - I will admit that I hate how fast it is going but he is learning so much and just turing into such a great person.
We are SO blessed to have him in our lives... Thank you God for giving us such a wonderful child.. for choosing Mike and I to be his parents!! We love you so much Brevin!!
