Another First!!!

I have been so busy, I have not had a chance to post the latest "First" with Brody!!! Everyone knows he is a perfect child, always is on his best behavior (at home and school) and is the perfect "student". The last couple of weeks, Brody and his two best buds, Bryan and Landon, have been having a little trouble at school. I think it is a combination of a couple of issues, they see each other 9 hours a day, 5 days a week and maybe they are a little bored in their class now. Last week I received a call from daycare that I needed to come over and bring B.J. (Bryan's dad) with me. The boys were in trouble and they were in the office. (I guess it is a good thing that we work next door to the daycare???) We walk over and there are the 3 muskateers. All standing in the office, LAUGHING!!! It seems they just could not catch a bubble (no talking in class) so the teachers put each one in the corner on opposite ends of the class. They continued to talk, laugh and roll around on the floor. In the midst of all this, Brody is trying to eat a book, Bryan is licking the book and, well, I am not exactly for sure what Landon was doing at this point. The teachers had had enough so off to the principals office they go. Anyway, we walk in and all the boys are laughing like it is a game. I grab Brody and head off to the bathroom for a little talk. As we are walking down the hall, he is yelling: "No mommy, don't spank my butt!!!" I can hear the teachers laughing now, how am I to keep a straight face. No, I do not give him a spanking, there is no need. I have a very stern conversation with him and let him know that when we get home there will be no playing outside, no riding his bicycle, no feeding the chickies and no watching Alvin and the Chipmunks. You would have thought I took his world away, I guess I did to him. We go back to the office and the other two boys are talking to their parent. (Landon's mom works at the daycare.) We instruct the boys they are not going to get to play or talk to each other the rest of the day. As we are walking away, they are still laughing. Poor Mrs. Linda, she was having a hard time with the boys. (Mrs. Linda is the magic bean lady and she just loves Brody. While she is talking to him, she tells him he is not going to get any more magic beans. It broke his heart.) They had a pretty good rest of the day and Brody has not been in too much trouble since. I am sure this is not as funny to anyone else but me but if you could have the seen the boys. 3 - 3 year olds, in the principals office. It was a sight.

I do believe this is just one of many calls from the office in the next 16 years of his life.

Another first and kind of a sad one for me is, Brody no longer calls me mommy, I am momma. My baby is growing up. He is getting to be such a big boy!!!
