Braylen Update

HEALTH*****
Well Braylen kept Jodi and I up most of Friday night, and Saturday morning. So Jodi took the little guy to urgent care on Sunday and found that he had a double ear infection and a upper resp. infection. As of this morning Braylen is in good spirits and slept very good last night.
Dora*****
Braylen learned this weekend how to chant for Dora. He walks around the living room chanting DORA DORA DORA DORA. It is very cute.
Helping Out*****
We have started to try to engage Braylen in doing little things around the house such as I would hand him something and say give this to momma, and he has. We also have him from time to time pick up the dogs food bowls from the floor and either put them on the counter or in the sink. Lastly what he has learned this week is when we change a wet diaper (and only a wet diaper) we ask him if he can put it in the garbage for us. He walks over so proudly to the can, lifts up the lid and slams it home.
Going to the Movies, and Grocery Shopping************
Jodi learned this weekend how to combine the two events. Jodi went grocery shopping (so I could finish my homework) and thought that she should bring along the portable DVD player we got from our company X-mas party. Well Jodi said that Braylen was an absolute angel as he watched Dora all thoughout the store.

Braylen also likes to brush his teeth. Now that he has his little toothbrush and special children’s toothpaste at our house, we brush our teeth together. He gets a real charge out of doing it together. He also has his own comb and brush (all items are in a bathroom drawer he can reach), so he often goes and combs his hair.

Funny that you mentioned brushing teeth. We bought a kit of toiletry stuff for Nigel. Well, one night when we were changing him, he went before I could get the diaper back on. The problem was that it was a “number 2″ and it was, well let’s say “projectile”. (Sorry for the disgusting graphic.) Anyway, one of the victims was his hair brush. So since he doesn’t have any teeth yet, we have been using his toothbrush from the set as his hair brush. It works well anyway, because his head is rather small, and he doesn’t have a lot of hair anyway.

It was the first time since he was a newborn that I was in a store longer then 30 mins!

It’s funny some of the baby things that can have alternate uses…. Like diaper rash cream for baby face acne. Or people use bottle nipples for paci’s when in a bind.
It just comes down to whatever works!
