Brendan, of all people, got tagged! By his six month old cousin Cael, no less! Now I will commence to list eight great (or maybe just cute) things about our Brenny.
1. The boy will NOT sleep in a bed. Every night when Jason and I go to bed, we first have to locate Brendan. He is always easiest to find when he's on the stairs. His favorite place is on the floor in Emily's room. He has scared us a couple of time -- look us 10+ minutes to find him -- once he was in Dani's room on the far side of the bed, and the other he was crunched up in Em's beanbag chair. And it doesn't seem to matter if we put him in his bed, he always makes his way into ours before the night is over.
2. He is a snuggler. Most of my kids want to snuggle on their terms, which either means not at all (Evan) or on demand (Dani), but Brenny will snuggle up to any time I want. He just wraps those skinny little arms around my neck and hugs like only a boy who loves his mommy can hug. He gives good kisses too.
3. He is a very sympathetic little brother. If anyone is hurt or sad, he will voluntarily give comfort hugs -- even if they are a bit perfunctory sometimes.
4. He has a talent for finding the shortest path to danger -- i.e. sitting on top of the stove, digging in the medicine cabinet, grabbing hot curling irons, getting outside into the front yard all alone, wiggling out of his car seat, climbing the pantry shelves to find snacks. He's good.... in a really bad way!
5. He is completely and utterly addicted to chocolate milk. It is all he wants to consume -- 24 hours a day, with perhaps for a slight change of pace, a little candy once in a while. His "choc-it" is like coffee to him. He needs it first thing in the morning and as soon as he has it, he is a happy, sweet tempered two year old, but before he's had his cup-a, watch out!
6. He loves, and I means LOVES Backyardigans. Which is really nice for me, becuase I do too! He calls it "Ty-wone" and, as with his chocolate milk, would watch it 24 hours a day if allowed!
7. He is pigeon-toed, so he runs totally crooked. I love it! Everytime I see him take off running, I think of a line from "Cars," where Lightening McQueen is being chased by the police car and he thinks he's being shot at and he says, "Serpentine! Serpentine!" It makes him fall down frequently too though, so we have to get it fixed.
8. He turns more into a little boy every day. He wrestles with Evan, sings songs, counts things, plays imaginary games. I love watching this process. Aww... my little big boy.
We tag Denver Henrichsen, cause we know he and Brendan are two peas in a pod!

Are you guys really going to get the pigeon toes fixed? Is it going to be surgery or something less invasive like braces?
its not a severe case. he just has inserts he wears in his shoes. the issue is getting him to wear them. he hates 'em

Uh, yeah. . . did you just tag my kid? Thanks. Thanks a bunch. Now let me go see what I can do about that.
Oh and um . . . did you mean Denver or Caleb, cause Caleb is way more like Brendan than Denver cause Denver is way more like Evan than Brendan? Just wondering.
