Fun Conversations with Braden...

Tim asked Braden what color Mommy's hair was. 

He said brown. 

So, I asked him what color Daddy's hair was 

and he answered, "Black and White." 

Too funny. :)

Braden was telling me that he wanted to 

get something first before his brothers. 

I was explaining to him that it is important to let others go 

before us and to think of others before ourselves. 

Even though I knew it would be over his head, 

I said, "In the Bible God says the first shall be last 

and the last shall be first." 

He said, "Yep, the first will be first 

and the the last will be next." :)

Several days ago, as I was getting him breakfast, 

Braden said, "Mommy, you are really beautiful." 

What a sweetheart. 

Then he and Daddy went to run some errands. 

When they got home he presented me with 

some of my favorite Bergey's cinnamon rolls, 

WITH extra icing. :) 

As he handed them to me, he whispered in my ear, 

"Happy Mothers Week, Mommy." So sweet. 

Then, later, as we were cleaning up dinner, he said, 

"Mommy, you are a really good cooker." 

On the menu that night...a frozen pizza. :)

This morning Tim took Braden with him to church early. 

When I got there with the little boys 

and was taking Braden to his Sunday school class he said, 

"Mommy, Daddy and I got your flowers!" 

I said, "That is so sweet, buddy! 

Did Daddy want you to tell me that?" 

"Oh no," he said, "Daddy told me not to tell you...whoops...

...oh, Mommy, your card has a monkey on it!" :)  

Later today, it was time for me to decide 

where I wanted to go for Mother's Day dinner. 

Braden said, "Mommy, pick up a mine!" 

I kept asking him to repeat himself because 

I couldn't understand what he was telling me. 

Then it hit me...he was trying to say, 

"Mommy, make up your mind!" 

It was really cute. :)
