State of the Bry Address

A lot of things have happened in the life of Bry and company. Things that I might have blogged about, had I not been knee-deep in articles and documents, and other assorted dissertation paraphernalia. Instead of re-living every moment of our lives over the past six weeks, I thought I'd summarize the major talking points (not necessarily in chronological order):

• We went to the zoo. Bry saw giraffes. Then he wanted to see elephants, but there weren't any.
• We went to Wood Lake. Daddy broke the ice on the lake with his foot. Bry wanted to go inside.
• We walked to Minnehaha Creek. Bry shouted, "1, 2, 3, Go!" and threw rocks and other detritus into the water.
• We went to MoA. Bry rode on the carousel. He wanted to ride again, but we told him he couldn't because we had to go eat at McDonald's.
  
• We attended a potluck dinner at Bry's daycare. We discovered that Bry is unique in eating his weight in fruit each day. Bry found the fact that we were eating in the gym hilarious. He jumped on the trampoline.
• We went to the Children's Museum. Bry climbed on Clifford, the Big Red Dog. He touched a corn snake. He declared, "There's too much kids here."
  
• We took a trip to Office Depot. Bry endured an hour of hunting for a printer by reading off all of the letters and numbers he could see and rearranging all of the claim cards for the electronics. We put them all back in their proper places before we left.
  
• Nana and Gong-Gong visited. We stayed in a "rotel," played at Edinborough Park, went swimming, and had dim sum. We did not jump on the beds at the hotel, because "only monkeys jump on the bed."
  
• We went to Grandma and Grandpa's house. Bry pushed all of the buttons on "noisy bulldozer" and leapt, terrified, onto the couch. He ate ribs with much gusto.

In retrospect, it looks like we've been living it up. We've been reveling in all of Bry's two-ness, which runs the gamut from charming to verbose to witty to, uh, screaming. Still working on that last one.
