Growing and Learning Part Four: P.E.


No, we have not enrolled Brett in Physical Education classes...he does pretty well teaching himself! Everyone in our family, Grandmas and Grandpas included, are constantly in awe of Brett's unending energy and activity. The kid just does not stop. He doesn't walk...he runs. He is bursting with excitement and energy, just about 24/7. His favorite place to be is outside, playing ball, or his favorite, getting dirty in the garden. He LOVES water, and has taken swim classes. We're signed up for another round of swimming this winter.

Lately we've been practicing playing catch with Brett, and have been super-pleased with how he's taken to both throwing and catching all sorts of balls. We have to be careful, though, because there are many, many things that ought not be thrown, and Brett hasn't quite figured out that distinction yet!

Last week I took Brett down to the elementary school playground, and he climbed up on a pretty large, big-kid-designed play structure with zero hesitation. He tromped across a bridge, and up several steps, until his feet were higher than MY head. Yipes! Then he proceeded to slide down a very steep slide, all alone! My baby is all grown up...*snif*



Oh, and the above photo is one I took when we were heading down to the school yard to play some football. And by the way, go ducks! :)


Just a goofy little video of Brett trying to play "fetch" with Westley. I guess he figured the fat cat could use some exersise too!
