Brady's 10!!


I can't believe Brady is ten years old! That makes two kids in the double digits. It's so hard to believe that I'm old enough for that! :) Brady has really grown in the past year. He's doing great in school, and has finally developed a love for reading! This is his first year getting letter grades, and at the beginning, I challenged him to go for all A's the first six weeks. He didn't think he could do it, but I knew he could, and he did. I think because Avery has always done well in school, Brady wasn't sure he could follow suit. I think this year he's proven to himself that he can. He has become more self motivated with his work as well. Harry Potter is what got him into reading. He got to watch the movies first, but that made him want to read the books more. I love hearing him ask if he can read for a little bit before bed! I've always loved to read, and that's something I wanted to pass on to my kids, so it makes me happy that he's more into it.
It seems fitting(since he's a sports nut) that we spent the evening at soccer and baseball. Hopefully he's had a good day, and we'll continue celebrating this weekend with a sleepover!

Hey, it's not that you're old it just that you married as a teen and started early! You and Keith have three wonderful children and so much to be proud of...and I don't even know your kids so it isn't prejudice.
