More Braydenisms...

Oh my sweet boy makes me laugh with his 5 year old thoughts.

SINGING
Brayden loves singing. He has taken his sister's love for music and turned it in to his own. Anytime we start playing a new song in the car or he hears something fun in a movie he immediately wants it on his iPod. I love to hear him sing what he thinks the lyrics are.

David Crowder "After All"
Right Lyrics - You are Holy, Oh Holy
Brayden's Lyrics - You are Hoooooly-Moooooly

Even his preschool teacher commented that she loves when Brayden comes in and talks about a new song he got on his iPod. We have been listening to a new CD by Jared Anderson called the "The Narrow Road" and one of the songs is called "Impossible Possible". Brayden told me he was singing it at school, but quietly so the other kids couldn't hear him.

OLD
The other night when I was putting Brayden to bed he and I had this brief talk.

Brayden - Are you old?
Mommy - (Thought - He thinks I look old?) Well, I am older. Not as old as some people, but older than you.
Brayden - Well, you look kind of old.
Mommy - (Thought - Confirmation) Okay, thanks buddy.

EXCITED
Sarah and I are going to be away Friday and Saturday for her JBQ Regionals Event. Aunt Susie, Sammy and Stephen will be picking Brayden up from school on Friday and he will be spending the afternoon with them. Thank you in advance Aunt Susie.

Of course since Brayden found out that Aunt Susie would be picking him up he keeps asking when she is going to pick him up and when I am leaving. This morning, his prayer and our discussion.

Brayden - (Praying) Thank you that we can have a great day today. Thank you that Aunt Susie gets to pick me up from school tomorrow and I get to have lunch at their house and I get to spend the afternoon with them. Amen.

Mommy - Your not excited for Aunt Susie to pick you up from school are you?
Brayden - Yes, I am.
Mommy - No, your not excited.
Brayden - Oh, yes I am.
Mommy - Are you excited for me to go away?
Brayden - No.
Mommy - Come on, I think your excited for me to leave.
Brayden - Okay, yes I am. 

THE CUP
Brayden's T-ball coach suggested that all the boys wear a cup with their baseball outfit because even at their young age a ball could come up and hit them and it will hurt. I of course sent Jason out to make this purchase, what do I know about this kind of stuff. He came back with several options and Brayden chose the cup he liked the best. I don't know if any kid has been more excited to wear a cup. As soon as Brayden chose which one he wanted he was ready to try it out. He want Jason to go out in the backyard with him and throw a couple of balls so he could test out this new accessory to his t-ball uniform. The trial run was a success and he liked it.

This past Saturday getting ready for his game I was helping him get dressed since Jason couldn't go and was wondering if this cup was really necessary, but Brayden wanted to wear it. At the game a little girl ended up getting hit with the ball in her private area and she was crying, so guess that is a confirmation that he should definitely wear the cup.

At last nights game he was first baseman and a ball game up and hit him there. After he threw the ball back to the coach he yells to me "I used it!" and points to his cup. I was cracking up. Way to go Brayden! He was so proud.
