Brady

A couple weeks ago, on the very morning I was registering Brady for preschool, Google randomly created this little video montage of him. Cue the tears! I mean, the timing was just uncanny!

I still can't get over the fact that this video just randomly popped up hours before signing him up for preschool. I was having all these thoughts about is he too little for preschool {even though I know he's not, and there's still another 8 months to go before he begins}, and this video was just such a stark reminder of how quickly it goes. It's also worth mentioning that when I showed this video to Brady, he was so confused watching it and kept asking me whose house we were at in the video. He recognized all the people and our furniture in the video, but a lot of the video clips were from our house in Las Vegas which was so hard for him to understand.

Speaking of Brady, he randomly woke up a few mornings in a row with a dry diaper and then just started going potty on a dime! We were 100% unprepared and had no underwear for him at all! We quickly pulled out the girls' old princess potty chair and potty seats, and we were good to go! I had literally just said to Derek days prior to this that I had no idea how we were ever going to get Brady potty trained before preschool began b/c he's just so two. The girls didn't potty train until about 3, but with the way their birthdays fell they were much older starting preschool so that was never an issue. With Brady's July birthday, it's a completely different situation. I never in a million years would have thought we'd be potty training him right now, but he was clearly ready. Despite some two year old defiance at times, it has gone far better than I ever could have imagined! We are just so proud of him! {And I'm proud of me too if I'm being honest! ;)  Potty training is no joke!}

Brady is the absolute sweetest, but he's also the absolute worst. ;)  He's definitely two through & through! As hard as my days are with him sometimes, there's no place else I'd rather be. It's just so crazy to think that the girls' school year will be wrapping up in less than 4 months and then that will be the end of my days with just Brady home with me all day, every day. In the fall, he will start preschool two mornings a week at Marvelously Made, which is where Shelby went to school when we lived in San Antonio previously for fellowship. With all of our moves over the past few years, we've been a part of multiple schools and we have truly loved them all. But Marvelously Made is one of a kind, and I am just so tickled that we get to be a part of it again in this season of our life. And I am just beside myself that for the very first time in our kids' school ages, the youngest is in school so I will actually get to volunteer on a regular basis and feel more plugged in to their schools! I will of course be sad that this chapter is closing, but I'm so genuinely excited for what lies ahead!
