Pajama Day!

Braden was so excited about pajama day at school last week. They had originally planned to have it two weeks ago, but the snow days threw them off. The day finally came last Wednesday when Braden could wear his Wall-E jammies. They had hot cocoa and popcorn and watched a "show" at preschool. It was one of his best days this school year. I took some pictures, but he just looks like he's ready for bed. In reality, he didn't wear those pajamas to bed the night before or that night after his bath. He was kind of bummed about that, but I told him I needed to wash them first.

Smiling for the camera when we got home from Pajama Day.

Digging through all of the books. An event that drives Daddy crazy.

"Yeah!" from Kendall.

I'll leave you with a few "Braden-isms" from the past couple of weeks. He's been really into the new president, as you'll see from his comments.

At Grandma Riechmann's:

Braden picks up the phone on the counter while Barb is talking on the cordless.

Dustin: "Put that down!"

Braden: "I want to talk to somebody!"

Dustin: "You don't even know who Grandma is talking to."

Braden: "Yes I do."

Dustin: "Oh really?"

Braden: "Yes, she's talking to Barack Obama!"

(She was not talking to President Obama, but to her brother in Minnesota)

In the car on the way home from school:

Braden had been arguing with a friend at school about a favorite toy airplane. I was trying to remind him why it is important to share.

Momma: "Braden, you should share with your friends."

Braden: "But I wanted to play with it."

Momma: "You don't always get what you want."

Braden: "I wanted to play with it."

Momma: "God would want you to be nice and share with your friends."

Braden: "And so would our new president?"

Momma: "Ummm. Yes, I'm sure he does."
