Favorite things:
- Loves to stand on the couch and look out the window, especially if someone is mowing there lawn or their is a truck outside
- Whenever he hears a car or truck outside, he runs to the couch to look out the window, then says, "Papa? Papa?" When I tell him that Papa is at work, he says, "Grandma?" and we repeat this several times before he finally accepts that Papa and Grandma are not at our house
- He loves to run and "crash" into things, such as the back door, then says "crash" with a big smile on his face
- Loves to spin in the computer chair and will say, "ready, set, go" before we spin him
- He is working on learning to count, but mostly still just loves the number three
- Brian loves to go outside, but is still not sure about the grass. If he falls down on the grass, he has a really hard time putting his hands on the grass to help stand back up
- He has always loved to clean up- he will dump out blocks or toys so that he can clean them back up. He also loves to use the broom to clean up his messes after he throws food on the floor
- He LOVES milk and gets so excited when it's time for milk/bedtime (not always so excited about going to bed, but getting milk), but jumping up and down and clapping excited and repeating "ulk! ulk! ulk!" over and over again until he gets it
- Brian likes any food that my dad (Papa) likes: popcorn, peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, chips, etc. He gets really excited when my dad makes him popcorn, especially
- He loves to go to nursery at church (yay!) and tries to go in the room before it's time. The nursery leaders say he is really sweet, except for at snack-time and coloring time: he dumps his snack out of the bowl (we are working on that at home) and he will go and dump the crayons out of the bowls that the other kids are using- they say they have to "quarantine" him in his own area during those times. They say it's hard to get mad at him even when he's doing that since he's not doing it in a mean way, he just thinks it's fun
- Brian loves anything with buttons that makes noise- computers, radios, light switches, buttons in the car, books that make sounds, etc. He also loves to open and close things
I'm sure there is a lot more I can say about him, but I'll leave it at that. It has been a great two years since he joined our family and we love him so much!
