barrett: 50 months old


Barrett, fresh from the pool!  Barrett has become a little fish like his sister, and loves swimming and playing with the pool noodles.  We're still working on him jumping from the side of the pool, but that's all good - his bravery will come with time.  He's just such a happy easy-going kid, and he's up for any activity - the pool, a bike ride, a trip to the grocery store, whatever floats your boat!

Barrett has recently latched onto the Mo Willems "Pigeon" books (he loves the Elephant and Piggy series), and "reads" them with me.  Barrett gets 3 books before bed, and usually it's all Paw Patrol.  Every night he climbs into bed, "reads" a couple more books to himself, then turns his light off and goes to bed.  

His newest thing is helping me cook breakfast.  Since I'm gone during the week before anyone else wakes up, weekends are mine for making breakfast.  It's usually sprinkle pancakes!  Barrett brings his stool into the kitchen, and wants to measure out everything, dump it all into the bowl, then asks for his whisk for mixing.  Adding the sprinkles to the batter might be his favorite part!


Likes:  Nella and Sadie - gives them hugs whether they like it or not!, breakfast for dinner, Power Rangers, playing with his Thomas trains

Dislikes:  going number two on the toilet, being without sunglasses in the pool ("It's too bright, Mommy!")
