Brayden turns 6

Brayden is enjoying his Kindergarten year. He is learning a lot and loves to do any homework that is not required of him. Brayden says he has a lot friends at school and enjoys playing with them. Brayden loves candy. If there is any candy in the house he will find it, and we know when he has found it when we find candy wrappers under the couch, under his bed, and even in his sheets. Brayden is great at sharing. If you ask him he will share just about anything, even his beloved candy. Brayden is a collector. He says he picks up things that catch his eye, which includes bottle caps, paper clips, twisty ties, scraps of paper, plastic, and metal, and just about anything else that might happen to fall in his path. He talks about his ultimate goal of building a robot with it all. Brayden would be a good salesman because he doesn't take no for an answer. He will ask a question like, "Can I have a candy?" and if our response is "no" he will excitedly say, "Thanks, I will go get my candy now." Brayden tends to be a truth stretcher. If he is blamed for doing something, his immediate response is that the nearest sibling did it.
Brayden 's 6th Birthday was the day before Thanksgiving this year. He was lucky because he got to celebrate three different times. First, we celebrated as a family on his birthday by going to Red Robin for dinner. The next day was Thanksgiving dinner at our house with the Gaspar de Albas and Cranes. Matt made an R2-D2 cake to celebrate with the cousins. The 3rd celebration was a combined party with Julia at WiiiBounce, a local party place filled with large inflatable bouncing toys and big screen Wii video game consoles. The highlight of Brayden's birthday was that he finally got a pack of REAL POKEMON cards from Mamaquel. The homemade ones are now no longer needed.
