It's a Great Year to Turn Eight!

Happy birthday to Brady Bear! Brady is our middle child. Somehow he is viewed by the rest of the kids as the "favorite." Not sure how or why. Brady is my most sensitive child. He is very empathetic and his feelings get hurt very easily. On the flip side of that he has a temper and boy, can he hold a grudge. There are no accidents in Brady's world. Everything is on purpose and with intent to hurt him. We are working on this. It causes conflicts daily with his siblings. Brady is also the one who best self-entertains. He doesn't mind engaging with others, but he is just as happy to play by himself. He is the bee's knees to his younger brother Max. Max will do any and everything Brady does to the point of annoyance for poor Brady. Max will also stick up for Brady right or wrong versus the other siblings. I feel like Brady is my most surprising child. Every time I feel like I have a handle on him or his personality, he surprises me. He is too cute though and it is too hard to stay mad at those blue eyes for too long. For his birthday he wanted a real inflatable wrestling ring. That was the #1 gift request. That was a no. No room, no way, not gonna happen. He wanted a WWE thing-a-ma-bob from Toys R Us, which he may get with a gift card. Lastly, he wanted a bucket of teriyaki wings from Buffalo Wild Wings. He finally got his wings last night with Dad and also got his cupcake from Barnes and Noble. They had some much needed one-on-one time. On his birthday he got some NBA wrist bands and headband, a WWE brawling buddy (don't ask), and last but not least, we got him a scooter. It was no life size inflatable wrestling ring, but hey, he loved it and has loved riding it since (when the rain has permitted). He had butterscotch cake for his cake (I am forever indebted to Wendy for that recipe, it is a big-time fave among all the family members). Overall, he had a good birthday! Can't believe he is 8!
