Dash Dans aka TRASH CANS!

Brody's new love is for trash cans...yes trash cans. He refers to them as "dash dans", the love started when he would see the dash druck come and pick up our trash every Friday. Brody loved the "boom boom truck" as he called it. Soon after, his love for dash dans began. Since we have 3 trash cans in our household, 2 large and 1 small for recycling, Brody decided to name them. The two big dash dans, aka "bit" as Brody refers to them, are named nana and baba, they were named mama and dada however a few weeks ago that changed, and the small trash can has always just been named simply....baby dash dan. Every morning before leaving, we have to go and say goodbye, occasionally checking inside to view the contents. Aunt Mandy and Uncle Todd even made a poster of him driving a dash truck with Shrek as a passenger in back...Brody loves it! we made the mistake of checking on you tube for videos of trash trucks picking up trash...and yes people...they have videos (they actually have trash trucks I, II and III). The bottom pics of Brody show his happily in front of the computer watching videos on you tube of trash trucks.

Pics from our sweet little Brod's 2nd birthday party

We opted out of having a "birthday party" with little ones. This year it was just family...Brody had only been in school for a week at the time of his birthday so it was fair to say he hadn't made any 2 year old friends to invite to a bday party so we opted for doing a small family get together. He got tons of presents. Check out his new bike from Nana and Baba. It was a very a nice day and next year we will plan a wonderful party for him and all of his class mates!!

A 2 Year old BOY!!

If you ask Brody if he is a baby he will say "no boy!" He is 2 years and one month old and does seem to be becoming such a little boy and no longer my baby. He is loving preschool ( it is only Tuesday and Thursday mornings for 2.5 hours) He is becoming a very active, social, and 90% of the time very happy (aka "appy" in Brody language). He is into everything but such a bright and smart little man.
