While I was bathing Adam this morning, Kye came in and asked if we could play a game together. I said I would be happy to after I got my morning chores done, which included making my bed and loading the dishwasher. A few minutes later, I walked out and found this:
and this:
After the above cheesy little grin, he said, "Mom, isn't your bed just perfectly? I did it myself." What a boy!
for 2 days of rest and rehabilitation
and a side of oxygen,
which made the trip home with us
and now he feels like this:
And then to Carnegie Deli for a "little" cheesecake.
The Museum of Natural History with Maddie, Maja and the Dinasours.
Zach at Gray's Papaya.
We wanted a picture in front of the temple. As you can see, it was a little chilly out there.
Just to the left of this statue there a man dressed up as an alligator. As we passed, he asked us if we would go to Petco and get him some raw meat. I smiled, "Probably not this time," and then we noticed someone filming us. Apparantly it was for Letterman. We had to sign a release so they could use it on the show if they want. If I had known we were being taped I would have said something funnier, dang it!
Central Park
Eloise's home (the Plaza, for you non-Eloise fans). 
And then we ate the best croissants in the city here. AND THEN . . .
He smiles all of the time, he takes 2-3 naps a day and he sleeps 12 hours a night. I KNOW! Luckiest. Mom. Ever.
Top Ten things seen, heard, or observed in the Bradshaw home
10-The latest and greatest definitions submitted by the children:
Lucy: COXING (to try to persuade . . . you know, “He was coxing me to get off the monkey bars.”)
Kye: SPOILED (the state the water needs to be before you add the noodles to the pot.)
Isaac: INERD (What mom does on Saturday to the clothes so they are not wrinkly. “Mom, you inerd my shirt?”)
Isaac: POO-WIZE (When something is hidden and comes out as a reward, it’s a “poo-wize.” Surprise, people.)
9-Kye: (While cleaning up after a snack) If anything is peanut buttery or caramely, a washcloth can save the day.
8- Lucy’s life as a musical. It doesn’t quite live up to my niece Kinley’s orchestrated life (imagine a 3 year old singing while sitting on the potty, “There are people passing by . . . while I’m sitting on the potty!! And they are looking in the bathroom . . . ") Anyhoo, after having put Lucy in charge of basement cleanup, I heard, “Clean, clean, clean. I like to clean. I like to cleanup now. Clean, clean, clean.” (Sung to the tune of “Sing, Sing, Sing.”)
7- The invisible homing beacon in Adam’s pacifier.—Lucy, Kye, and Isaac cannot seem to see it without picking it up and playing with it. With the amount of germs on it, I’ll be surprised if this kid lives to see the age of two.
6- Me: What’s the most important part of church? Why do we go?
Isaac: To color.
5- Kye (While answering the phone): Heavenly Fa. . . . whoops, I mean hello. (He immediately started giggling and I burst out laughing.)
4- Lucy (While practicing the piano): (*Sigh*) I’m soooooo good. (Nothing like a little humility, Lu.)
3- Kye’s terror of policemen. It’s very, very real. He went on a field trip for preschool one day. The fire station was cake. They walked into the police station and he went into hysterics. He was scared to death that the policeman would take him and put him in jail. It was not until after he found out the policeman was a grandpa that he could calm down.
2-And it starts . . . After I danced around the house in celebration for some small accomplishment, Lucy covered her eyes in mortification.
Me: Just wait until you’re older, Lucy. I’m going to embarrass the heck out of you.
Lucy: You already do, mom.
1-“HAPPY HOWIDAYS!” Yelled by Isaac to passersby at the BYU Bookstore on Christmas Eve. If they didn’t hear him or respond, he yelled louder, and louder, and louder. He must have gotten his set of lungs from me. I’ve been known to be a little loud in my day.
