barrett: 54 months old



Let me tell you a story about this boy and his huge heart....The hubs had gotten a bouquet of flowers when Cammy came to visit, and by today they were pretty done. When the hubs went to throw the dead flowers away, Barrett started crying, saying, "But, the flowers are beautiful Daddy!" and he didn't want them thrown away.  Every ounce of this kid is sweetness, and his empathy is without bounds.  When Britton cries, he cries, solely because his sister is crying, without even knowing why.  I love his heart.


We've taken to going to the school playground and playing basketball, and Barrett loves it.  He can't get the ball anywhere near the basket yet, but that's ok because that's not the point - he just loves being a part of the game with us.  And when we send him on laps around the playground to wear him out, he runs effortlessly.  I foresee a long-distance runner in the family!

With his "tower of bad guys"
Likes:  basketball, PJ Masks, playing the drum kit Britton made from recyclables
