Dub is now 5 and Brandon is 3.  This picture was taken almost a year ago, but the brothers are sitting still and aren’t they precious?

Dub was at the refrigerator a few days ago playing with our magnetic letters.  He said, “Mom what does AIEU spell?”  Me, “Nothing.”  Dub, “Oh, wow!  Nothing.  No–th–i–ng, nothing.” Sounding very pleased with himself.  I didn’t say anything more.  I didn’t want to burst his bubble by correcting him, lol.  But if one day when he is quite grown you get a letter with the word AEIU in it, you’ll know what he meant.

Brandon is a funny one too.  I was leaving this week to get my blood drawn for prenatal testing.  He says, “Mom, I can’t wait to see your blood.”  Me, “I’m pretty sure they aren’t going to let me take it home.”  Brandon, disappointedly, “Then how in the world will I ever know what blood looks like?” 

Monday we were waiting at a stop light.  Darren is driving and I’m in the passenger seat.  Brandon, “Mom, where in the world are we going?”  Me, “To church.”  Brandon, “Then what’s the hold up.  Let’s go already.”  Me, “Well Brandon, I’m not the one driving.  The light is red and there’s 3 cars in front of us.”  Brandon looked very stern and pointed his finger at me and said, “No excuses, you.”

Yesterday at the Pumpkin patch I was carrying a tired out Brandon.  He lays his head on my chest and says, “Mom, your baby is getting sooo big and I love it!”  Me puzzled (I’m not really showing yet), said, “Where is my baby?”  Brandon smiles and lovingly pats my chest, “Right here.”  Darren says boys are born this way, lol.
