The last blog mentioned that Brian bought Braxton a baseball and glove. Well, it turned into more than that, including a t-ball set with bases and more. And I was right when I said, Braxton is obsessed! Many of these new pictures on Braxton’s page show that he carries his baseball with him everywhere. He sleeps with it, eats with it, holds it while he plays. The first thing he asks for when he wakes up is to play catch. He hits the ball very well off the tee and runs the bases in order, so he is on his way! Braxton insists on only wearing tshirts with a ball on it. When I get him dressed each day, he doesn’t want to put on a shirt unless it has a ball. If there aren’t any ball shirts left, then I prepare myself for a meltdown. I am going to have to get more ball shirts! Everyone comments on how hilarious Braxton is. He really is such a fun guy and lives to have fun and make people smile. I try very hard to give him an environment that nurtures his love of laughter, silliness, and fun. He’s the most intense little guy. Quite passionate and focused. But he is really maturing and showing that he knows how to control some of those intense emotions. I am so proud of the person Braxton is and my life is so full with him in it!
Ainsley is loving gardening. She just loves flowers and works with me out in the yard. She is really looking forward to a gardening playdate soon. She is quite the outdoors girl, like her brother. She loves to climb trees, play in the dirt, find bugs (dragonflies are her favorite right now) and other critters, go on a bike ride. Of course, her favorite outside activity is still swimming. When she has a chance to swim in someone’s pool, she picks it right back up and swims. I think that I could sit at the side of the pool and just watch her swim now. But I like getting in with her! It seems we spend most time outside, and when we are inside, it isn’t long until she asks to go outside again. Thank goodness, her allergies have subsided. She is really doing well in gymnastics and when we ask her if she wants to stop she says no. She has been doing it for a year now. But she still loves it and wants to add dance in August. Maybe she will follow in her Mommy’s footsteps. We signed her up for soccer camp this summer, which she is also asking for. Ainsley has been asking for a little sister lately. We are content with the 4 of us, but her desire for a baby just shows how much she loves to nurture and help people. She is quite the little mommy. There are many times she relates to her brother so well and can explain things to him like a mommy. She loves other babies and tends to gravitate towards them and has a natural ability and keen sense to help them. She has been asking a lot of questions about heaven lately. She really wants to know all about it and takes it all in with belief. I am inspired by my little girl. There are many times I watch her in awe at who God made her to be.
