What Brock is up to These Days.







So, in January I made the leap and decided to go back to work. I was a little worried about Brock going to daycare. My mother-in-law was going to watch him on Monday and Tuesday and he would go to daycare the rest of the week.

He went exactly ONE week to daycare before getting sick. We took him to the doctor and he had walking pneumonia and RSV. The doctor said no school for 2 weeks. I called the school to tell them and they said "did you know we are shutting down on Feb 27th?" No, I didn't, thanks for letting me pay a registration fee and sign up though. Well, I didn't send him back there since they were shutting down. My mother-in-law kept him the rest of the month and he started at Victory Baptist on March 1.


He is really getting used to it. At first it was hard, listening to him say sleepily "I wanna go see Nana!" and telling him, sorry buddy, you are going to school today. But now he loves it. He talks about his teachers all the time (Mrs. Shanna, Mrs. Trina, Mrs. Jessie, Mrs. Tabby, Mrs. Lock (Morelock, the director)). He names them over and over. Don't get me wrong, he still prefers nana's house, but I'm happy that he likes it there. He talks about "the kids" too. LOL! Like he's the only grown-up one or something.

We just got back from Alabama for Easter. Brock can't or won't say "Grand Dad" so he was calling him "Wudder" (Fuller). At Easter we got him to say "GrandWudder" LOL!! So cute! He got up the next Monday to tell me "I wanna go see Wudder!!" - usually he says Nana or Gran Gran. He had so much fun playing with the girls. We went to my parents' new house and they ran around testing out the echo quality of the concrete floors.


Let's see...what all is Brock doing lately.
  • He can count to 12!
  • He can recognize a lot of letters and sings the ABC song (with some artistic liberties)
  • He can name every Thomas train ever invented by sight.
  • He can hit the ball off the tee.
  • He is eating more lately. He'll say "I'm hungy mama, I need...uh....somepin!"
  • His favorite foods are ham sandwiches, baloney, chips, and cookies. Oh, and NUMINUMS (m&m's). I have a health food nut on my hands.
  • He loves his DB Payer (portable dvd player) and watches Thomas movies, ice age, and COO COOs (Blues Clues) over and over and over and over.
  • He loves lining things up. His cars, his magnets (AB's - he calls them), his blocks, whatever he is playing with.
  • He is totally potty trained except for night time. He's getting there though. He's been PT for a while:) ROCKSTAR!
  • He loves moving the couch pillows. He gets all of them and makes a huge pile to jump on.
  • He hates taking a bass (bath) until he is actually in it. Then he doesn't want to get out.
  • He loves hiding in the tent and scary daddy.
  • He is getting very bossy.
  • He weighs 30 lbs!
  • He loves pinking. This means painting. I don't know why he calls it that!
  • He talks on the phone to Cole alot. By this, I mean he pretends and has a big long conversation. Too cute!
  • He loves Max, Buddy, and Mogs! He is a dog-lover!
  • He says "I love me Mommy!" - that means I love you. In the mornings when I drop him at Nana's house he will yell "I love me too!" when I tell him I love him.
  • He gives the best hugs and kisses:)
  • He still cries at night. AND he always wants me to rub his back. THANKS, Gran Gran for starting this habit.

I guess this is all for now. I'll try to post more often.

I LOVE the fact that he calls your dad "udder! That's priceless. You should get it on video...

And I would L~O~V~E to hear from you more often. Not a whole lot here in Mayberry.

Well, except for Tornado Warnings!
