some strange trading

We have a few jealousy issues around our house. As soon as Camiron even looks at a toy Braden instantly responds with a "Bradens turn first". He is not a fan of Braden ever waiting for his turn! Since Camiron usually doesn't care, if he takes a toy from her, he has to "trade" her a toy. So he has to go find something that she would like to play with. He usually does a pretty good job.
This day I brought the doorway jumper out and put it on the tree- a little hands free rest for my back. We started out with Braden in the swing and Cam in the jumper... but she must have made the jumper look very appealing because Braden soon decided it was his turn "first" in the jumper. Yes he is 2 years old- but since it was hanging from the tree for some extra height- and he weighs less than most one year olds at a whopping 22 pounds- he fit it great. Everyone was happy with this "trade" for at least a half hour. It was the best (and weirdest) "trade" ever!!!

A Few Random Moments...

Here in Hawaii they LOVE the bounce house! Such a treat for Braden. He is die hard in them. This is at his friends birthday party. We got there a little early to get in some bouncing before the big kids came. I wish I had taken a picture with all the big kids though, Braden can hold his own in the bounce house!





How can I not just love this face! Camiron doesn't get to watch baby einstein very often because Braden always seems to take over the tv, but when she does- she can't pull herself away. This is her in the saucer seat in a dead stare at the tv. It seems like she is looking at me, but don't be fooled, the tv is right behind me and she didn't move a muscle when I got in the way!





As a reward for giving up his binkie Braden got a new toy. (yes Braden still had a binkie, it was his only source of comfort. He never had a blankie or toy he loved, just his binkies. He slept with 2, carried them with him, and refused to give them up) I sent Troy and Braden to get a special garbage truck toy at Toys R Us because Braden is obsessed with garbage trucks. Turns out this "digger" as Braden calls it was next to the garbage truck toy. So suprise suprise, Troy and Braden came home with a much larger, more expensive toy then they set out to get. Braden really scored by giving up his binks!






We went with Moms Club on a little train ride. Just seeing the train and being excited to get on was half the fun....



Braden and his friends getting ready for the ride....

Braden is very intense in this picture... there must really be something amazing to look at out there as we chug by.....

Yes there was!

Proud to be a U.S. American???

Because Troy and I have watched this so many times, and it just seems to get funnier... I thought I would share it with anyone who might not have seen it yet.
