Brielle and her socks

Brielle is a sock-o-holic. She likes to wear socks. She eats, sleeps, and practically does everything with socks on. In fact, the only time she is without socks is when she is taking a bath. She doesn't even like to run barefoot through the grass. She says "Things itch my feet so I gotta wear socks".

Her choice of socks today reminded me of a high school friend that I had. His name is Jared Young and he is the head chef at theFaustina restaurant in SLC.. It's not that Jared had to wear socks all the time, it's that he never wore matching socks. He didn't care if one sock was an ankle cut sock and the other sock was a multicolored knee high soccer sock. Socks were socks to him. Brielle is of his same opinion; socks are socks.

Jr. Bob

Today, Brielle asked me the following question.

"Can I call you Jr. Bob?"

We then carried on the following conversation:

Me: Why do you want to call me Jr. Bob?
Brielle: Cause your dad is named Bob.
Brielle: Jr. means you're littler than your dad.
Brielle: and you're both named Robert. Me: Ok. You can call me that.
Brielle: Jr. Bob! Jr. Bob!
Me: What?
Brielle: Hi Jr. Bob

Brielle is such a funny little girl. I love having conversations with her. She says the most random things. We were shopping for her Halloween costume on Saturday, she is going to be a Black Night Power Ranger. She doesn't like to wear girly clothes or costumes. We stopped for lunch at the Berrett Cafe. While there she out of the blue informed me that her favorite number is 324. I think she chose that number because she was reading the nutritional label of her chocolate milk. I guess it is never to early to worry about your calorie and fat intake.

Brielle has been working hard lately learning to tie her own shoes. I had to help her a little bit, but she basically learned how to tie them all by herself. She is pretty proud of this accomplishment and wanted me to fill her doing it. Why did she want me to film it? SO I could post it on YouTube.

We also went on a bike ride on Sunday. She loves to ride her bike, especially since it is T-y's old bike and not Amanda's old pink bike. I think she likes it better cause it has a "water carrier" on it. I asked her where she wanted to ride, and said Amelia Earhart; she wanted to see if she could ride all the way to her elementary school. I told her that she had to lead us there and that we would have to turn around if she got lost. She said "alright" and took off like a bat outta hell. She led the hole way, only stopping once to get a drink. It took us about 25 minutes to get there. She is such a schemer! I think she wanted to ride to the school so she can say that she can and that she knows the way to get there. I can't wait until she asks to ride her bike to school.

Lunch Date with Brielle

I asked Brielle yesterday if I could have lunch with her today; luckily she said yes. I probably should have checked the lunch menu first. The lunch choices were Country Fried Beef Product or Boiled Hamburger patties, chocolate milk, mashed potatoes with gravy, green beans, salad, and a whole wheat roll. I choose the beef product and Bre chose the hamburger. She barely touched her hamburger, ate a couple bites of potatoes, drank all her milk, and ate part of her roll.

I had been making her sack lunches, but just stopped. So i'm thinking that I better restart sending her with a home lunch. Otherwise, I should just kiss the lunch money goodbye.

Bre is quite the popular little girl. It was fun watching her interact with her peers. She gets along well with others and is well liked by her peers. It was a fun time. I should definitely do it more often; but with a home lunch. :)

P.S.
Make sure you get a visitors pass if you want to go the the playground after lunch. The playground patrol doesn't like long haired weirdos taking pictures of the kids.

One Lucky Duck

Brielle completed her first homework assignment! She received a rubber duck and had to name it and write a report about her duck. Here is her story.

The Duck in the Lake with the Diving Board

By Brielle Berrett

My duck's name is Shantell. She is cute and small. She is cool. She likes swimming in the lake with her mom and dad and her friends and her brothers and sisters. Her brothers and sisters are really nice. She and her friends wanted a diving board for the lake. She typed a note to the owner of the lake to ask for a diving board. She got the diving board. She did a front flip. It was awesome.

The End

Speaking of lucky ducks, I am one lucky duck for being the father of Brielle. She has a fun adventurous spirit and I love her big much.

PS. Brielle enjoyed her first school lunch. It was a hotdog with mustard and ketchup.

Bling Bling Master

T-y and Bre went to the dentist this morning. T-y had 1 cavity and Bre had 5. The dentist put shiny silver caps on Brielle's offending teeth. She now has more bling in her mouth then I have in the bank!

The Tooth Fairy Doesn't go Camping

Bre-Bre lost her second front tooth while camping. I was rather relieved to here her this, as it had been dangling from her mouth for the last couple of weeks. She lost it while she was taking a drink. She was all worried about the tooth fairy wouldn't be able to find her. I reassured her that the tooth fairy knew where we were, but might not be able to get to where we were. I convinced her that it would be best to put it under her pillow when we got home. Luckily she was OK with this idea, as the Tooth Fairy left his wallet in the car.
