Snip, Snip, Sniff, Sniff

Goodbye Mullet Curls
They're gone. Those little mullet curls are gone.  I cried because that razor thing was scaring the bageezers out of me, Mom cried too but I'm not sure why.  Now, I look old and bald.  I guess I'm growing up...fast.

The Gate

the look of..."watch out, I'm a Devil child"
So, I'll admit it.  I've been a little lazy.

I didn't sit up very early in my life...and, if I had a choice I would really rather sit & scream than crawl.  But...I'm turning the corner. I'm now starting to crawl like a Mad-Man and FINALLY pull myself up on things.  Last night, I was sitting in a bedroom upstairs, Mom ran downstairs to grab her water and when she came around the corner, I was sitting at the top of the steps.  The gate is now up and in motion!  She went to the other bedroom to put away laundry, came back and saw me standing.

Whoa boy, she & Daddy better watch out!  They don't know this, but I'm learning fast.  Next I'll be eating toilet paper, climbing up my bookshelf, spilling glasses of water, opening drawers and pulling every single thing out and I'm sure several other things. Let's pray I can get through another year without any stitches.

Later,
BJS

Holiday Train Visit to Loretto


Santa, I want Cars2 Movie for xmas
This morning, as we were heading for daycare, Mom said it was my "special day."  I didn't really understand what this meant, but it was obvious that something cool was going to happen when Gma & Gpa Sherck knocked on the door at daycare at 10am to pick me up.

Hoooray! We headed to Loretto, MN to see the annual visit of the Santa & his Holiday Train. I've posted some of my favorite pictures of my special day with Gma & Gpa Sherck.  Thank you - it was a blast! 

Peace out, I'm one tired dude. I'm heading for bed.

Craziness at the Muppets Movie - 3rd Birthday Party!

The Muppets Movie!
For my 3rd Birthday, I had 13 of my friends to see my first movie in the theater, the Muppets Movie!  We were a little squiggley throughout the movie, but it was a great (or not so great) idea by my mother. We'll call it a good attempt!?!?!

I had a blast with all of my friends - thank you for all of the awesome presents! I feel so lucky!

Love, BMS

9 Months, 23 days, 13 hours, 15 minutes...

This is how long it took me to sleep through the night for the first time of my life.  I may be jinxing this wonderful celebration today by posting a blog about it, but heck - Mom & Dad seem pretty happy today and it's a day to remember in the books. 

Love,
Bennett

Ho Ho Ho...Vino in the Valley



Santa & Mrs Claus.  At least one of us was happy.

Last Friday, we were jolted out of our naps at daycare. Mom was there early to pick us up.  We got in the car and drove to St. Paul to pick up Daddy (who was at the Ice Show), and headed for Vino in the Valley into western WI.  This was Dad's RSP Christmas Party with his work people.  It was a blast!  We had drinks, dinner, dancing, present opening, cookie frosting, sleigh rides - and....Santa & Mrs. Claus were there!

Does this mean that Christmas is coming soon?  We sure think so.  We're counting down the days.

Tre, Trois, Tress...Three!

I'm three.
Happy Birthday to me!

I'm three now...and I think I'm king of the world.

On my birthday on Monday, I had such a great day!  I started out with a party with cupcakes at school with my friends. I came home to dinner with the family...my favorite dinner of cheese pizza, chocolate milk and topped with a triple chocolate cupcake to which I blew out my candles!  I got some great gifts - like rocket launchers, baseball bat & tee, bath crayons, Cars mat & cars, spiderman toothbrush, Spongebob Bubblebath, a Thomas the train and a glow-in-the-dark basketball hoop for my bedroom. Thank you to everyone!

Bennett was sick on my birthday, he stayed home from school and went to the doctor...only to find that on top of his Viral Flu, he had a double ear infection. A couple days of Ammoxicillin and he's doing much better. I want my brother back!

This coming weekend is my friend bday party at the Movie Theather - we're seeing the Muppets! I think there will be 12 kids and many adults...should be a good, kermitty time.

Today, I went on a special trip with my Mom. She picked me up and we headed to see Doctor MaryBeth for my 3 yr checkup appointment at Parners in Pediatrics. Check out my stats!!
  • Height: 37.5 inches (25-50%)
  • Weight: 30 lbs (25-50%)
  • Blood Pressure: Good
  • Vocabulary: Talking at about a 5-6 yr old level. I talk non stop, like my mother. I'm very sensitive and like to give hugs, kisses, and love my back scratched at night before bed. I'm starting to really use my imagination which is hilarious - some of the things I've said the past couple days "You  make me smile on my birthday, I"m so proud of you" &  "Dad, I have hiccups so I need some medicine"
  • Artistic ability: Just call me Van Gogh. I can paint, color in the lines, draw circles, lines, x's, and I try to spell my name.
  • Potty Training: Not yet, but starting to really work on it.
  • Spelling: I know how to spell my name B-R-A-D-Y. I know my name is Brady Michael Sherck and my brother's name is Bennett John.
  • Foods: I'm still a meat & veggie boy. I love ribs, chicken, steak, pork, hotdogs, corndogs, fish...broccoli, beans, corn & carrots. I'm not a big fan of fruit but Mom has been making me eat some so it helps me poop.  I'm starting to like Apples and mom said it's a good snack for me. My all time favorite thing is Chicken Nuggets from "Old" McDonalds.
We finished our trip today at McDonalds for lunch. Mom dropped me back at Shellis for a nap while she went back to work.  Enjoy the pictures!

Brady, three yrs old.

Bennett my Baby BumbleBee

Watercolors & lots of artwork!
Happy Weekend!  We had a great FOUR days off of work/school and it was so nice to be able to stay at home and spend time with the family relaxing. We don't get to do it very often - and we are thankful!

A bummer though, Bennett was super sick with the barfy flu & very high temp all of Friday/Saturday. Sunday he was starting to make the mend but we're hoping tomorrow he's all better.  Mom & Daddy are tired too because he has been waking on the hour. Did I tell you my new nickname I have for him that I came up with on my own? I call him my little Bennett my Baby Bumblebee.

We went and got our Christmas tree that I picked out! After we decorated, Dad lifted me up and I put the Angel on top of the tree. I looked at Mom and said "We gotta get out of here, that Angel is going to KILL us!"

My birthday is TOMORROW and I'm so excited. Mom asked me what I want for my birthday dinner and I told her I want some "Chocolate and Carrots, yeah that'd be nice"  So, we'll see what she comes up with! I know that I made some super triple chocolate cupcakes for my party at school (daycare) tomorrow! Whippee!

XOXO
