Last Night, May 9th, 2021, I asked this kid if he would like to get up and see the sunrise with me. He said, "Sure, roughly what time would that be?" I said, "Probably around 6:30a or so."
This morning, at 6:30a, he woke me up to watch the sunrise. I'm not sure how we can possibly be more blessed and proud, to have such a caring and thoughtful kid. Enjoy!
Love, Mama Brown
Today, we celebrate the 8th birthday of our Little Brownie. To be more precise, today is the 2,923 day that we have started our day with this precious soul in our life.
The 2nd year of the Brown Poop Patrol continues to be a success and he has a couple of "favorite" subjects in school. He loves science and art. Little Brownie has become an avid reader. Aside from reading comics, he also likes to read adventure and animals books. He helps Mama Brown with puppy training and walking dogs. Although he enjoys visiting family and friends, he loves to be at home with Mama Brown, Daddy Brown and Big Brownie the most. Our family would be incomplete without Little Brownie.
On his birthday every year, I release the 911 call for 1 day. I didn't have time to update his birthday video, so I have uploaded the video that I created last year. This will only be up for 24 hours. I always get private messages, text messages and phone calls if this can be shared. Absolutely. I will take the video down tomorrow, so share away today. If you would like to read his birthing story, I wrote about it here on the blog 7 years ago. Here is the link. Happy Birthday Little Brownie! We love you more than we can ever express in words.
And just like that, another 365 days have passed. The days go by so much faster, when your kids are growing up. Our Little Brownie has accomplished so many things over the last year. He is officially a 2nd grader and reading at impressive speeds. Just a few months ago, he didn't feel confident that he could read well. After many, many books, I think he finally feels like a new door has opened up to him. We are super proud of him.
This summer, the boys started a small business. They opened "Brown's Poop Patrol". Their motto is "We pick up the Brown, up off the ground". They also pet sit and walk dogs on a limited basis. I, of course, supervise and provide transportation. Big Brownie is the CEO and Little Brownie is always looking to hire more poop scoopers. They made well over $500 together and have enjoyed learning to put money aside for overhead, save money to give to church, save money for a rainy day and have a little spending cash. They really are growing up too quickly.
He is still an awesome board game competitor and he loves to watch Uncle Grandpa. He and his brother have "poot" contests daily. Some days, someone else may accidentally get "Pootified". He loves fishing and building with his own set of tools. We are still working on learning to swim and hope to start back in karate classes. He is also the best dog training assistant ever. His favorite dog is Popeye. Thanks for stopping by this year!
Little Brownie is definitely a competitor. He loves to play with his best friend Big Brownie. He enjoys drawing pictures and creating a whole story around it. Many of the main characters might be reflective of people in his life with new names, to protect their identity I'm certain. He will look for the good in most every situation. As an incoming first grader of our homeschool life, he LOVES science and making potions. He loves to hear stories of wonder like James and the Giant Peach and The Magic Tree House series. He loves to play baseball, but mostly when he is hitting the ball well and running the fastest around the bases. He has learned to be a good sport and congratulate others when they might have a slight advantage.
Little Brownie is officially a homeschool student this year. Because of his birth date, he is registered as a Pre-K5. Although, he is learning more on a Kindergarten level. His best friend in the whole wide world is Big Brownie. He looks up to him. Sometimes, he thinks he knows more than his older brother. Just the other day, I heard this conversation, as we were driving in the car...
On this day 4 years ago, I was blessed to bring a human into the world the old fashion way...with no medical support. On the way to the hospital, he was bound and determined to not wait for our official birthing plan. I tried my best not to push. I tried my best to stay calm. I tried my best to keep him in for 7 more minutes. But alas, he decided it was time and I thank the Good Lord every single day that he was born healthy and safe. We are truly blessed to have this little light in our life. And he is a light. He reminds me everyday that the miracles are in the everyday things we do, not just being born on the side of the road. He speaks with clear wisdom and always knows when I need a hug or when a piggy back ride is just what we need to make our day gleen brighter. The last 4 years have gone by in a blink of an eye. It pains my heart to know that he is growing so fast that I try my best not to blink or miss a single moment of wonder and awe. We love you Little Brownie and thank you for being our son. You have taught us as much as we have tried to teach you. You will always be my baby, even when you are a 30 something, 6 foot something young man. I pray many blessings over you and pray that God is already preparing your future love in life. Happy Birthday Little Brownie...it's going to be a good one!
