December 15

Brady needed a helmet in order to use his bike (slight oversight on my part) so he and I headed over to Dick's after church to buy one.

While we were out and about, I stopped at Target (purely because it's Target and Target is wonderful). On the way back out to the car, Brady mentioned that he remembered sitting on the big red dots outside when he was a little kid. So I told him he should sit on one right then and there, and he did without hesitation. At 5-9 1/2 (his height when we measured him last night), the task was much easier than it was way back then, but it was still kinda fun to see him sitting there.

Sweet, unexpected little moments that trigger nostalgic memories are blessings. (As are kids who humor me when I ask them to do silly things just for old times' sake.)
