barrett: 77 months old

Look who starts soccer next week!  We've got so much going on in October that I feel like I'm bound to forget something.  His first practice is this Friday and first game is Saturday, though we have tickets to the "Wands & Wizards:  Music from Harry Potter and More" Houston symphony show this Saturday, so we will probably have to skip his first game. But that's ok because he's got more games, AND he's very excited about going to the symphony, hearing the Harry Potter music (even though he's never seen the movies), and getting to do the instrument "petting zoo."  

Barrett's "wink" - he's been trying so hard to wink.  It's adorable!

Then the next weekend we are all going to the Brick Fest Live LEGO Experience, but can arrange that around his game time.  Barrett is in love with LEGOs and has been for a while now - he can read the instruction manuals and put the sets together all by himself, and will create different buildings, cars, etc. out of his buckets of spare bricks.  His imagination is really endless when it comes to creating an ever-evolving LEGO city!

Likes:  Ruby (oh my heart, this kid loves this dog so much), swinging at the playground super high, going to the school playground in the evening to play basketball, reading by himself!!

Dislikes:  when Britton takes the last of the salted caramel toffee ice cream
