Brycen always wants to help. Yes, it takes longer. Yes, it's messier. And yes, I love it.
We made Chicken Enchiladas for a group dinner a week or so ago. I credit Brycen's personal application of cheese as to why they tasted so good.
Mmm....
Brycen believes in one movie and one movie only. That movie is titled, "Cars". It makes it's appearance at least twice a day (per Brycen's orders) and Bryce and I may or may not know it word for word. I sometimes wonder how much longer before I beg for Brycen to please, want to watch something else or the day comes that the movie just happens to "disappear". But other times, I am so thankful for the little distraction it can provide.
Specifically, this day:
Our first success of getting him to watch a movie in the car. I think he was way more interested in wearing the headphones but the 30 minutes (of the 5 hour trip) that he sat and watched, were amazing since it allowed me to do my favorite thing: sit in silence and look out the window. Am I weird?
I love the countryside between where we live and Chicago. So many Farms. Old barns. And stories that I yearn to know, so I usually find myself, making up my own.
We stayed the night in Chicago so we could break up the trip and attend the temple. I specifically packed a certain way, knowing that Brycen would insist on helping.
LOVE him!
So, we stopped by Costco on the way home from Chicago and bought our first sleeping bags for some camping we hope to be doing this summer. We were interested to see if they actually worked for what they said they would and since I always freeze, no matter the temperature; I volunteered to be the guinea pig.
Much to my liking, it worked! I was pretty comfortable while Bryce sat by and froze.
Since I watch my friend's little baby a few days a week; this has made it's reappearance in our living room after months of non-use.
I'm pretty sure he enjoys it more now than he ever did as a baby. And he loves that he can climb in and out as he pleases.
Bryce returned today after a 3 day trip to NY. Brycen nearly had a heart attack when he spotted him at the airport.
We are so glad he's home and are all looking forward to much needed sleep tonight.

It must be the age because when Evan was younger he would only watch Blue's Clues Musical. He LOVED it :)
I also like to sit in silence in the car... maybe it's a mom thing? Before I was a mom I always had to be listening to music :)
Pretty soon Cars II will be out and you can make the switch then. :) I think there are a million other movies that would be a lot worse over and over again. Cars shows Brycen's good taste.
