This is the most adorable picture. He's on the merry go round at Magic Kingdom. To see him smile on the horse is a good feeling since last time he had a fit because it starting to move up and down.

I finally figured out why we woke up late!

Come Hungry Leave Happy

Braylon at IHOP in Orlando Florida. Although it was freezing in Florida, he was still excited about life as usually. He definitely captured their slogan. He arrived hungry and left happy!! :) I just love him!

What can I say?? This is my 1 year old niece Nylah. She thought it was a great idea to try out Braylon's toilet seat....head first. She better be glad it still had the plastic on it. We were in Hapeville, Georgia for a stop before heading back home from vacation. Looks like she enjoyed herself!

This is my nephew and niece DelSean & N'Shya at Animal Kingdom during spring break of 2010. We were at the Flights of Wonder show anxiously waiting to see the beautiful exotic birds that can talk, dance and do other tricks!!

Easter Sunday

Check him out, Check him out!!

Here he is....tall dark and handsome african american male in a pastel, spring green claiborne button down longsleve shirt & navy blue tie with matching green, baby blue and white stripes, toddler tank top underneath size 5 pamper,navy blue Nautica dress slack, navy blue children's place socks and the finest shiny black Stacy Adam's toddler shoe you can find....Let's welcome Braylon Kenneth-James Defoe down the runway!

He was ready to go praise the Lord with Grandma. I don't have that much experience in dressing boys so it took a while to find the perfect outfit. I love him in color and thought a nice spring but masculine color would look good on him. He ripped his tie off a few times but eventually got used to it. I was really afraid he would have one of his ABC or Spongebob outbursts during prayer but he did well. He took special interest in the lady sitting directly in front of me. He stared at the collar of her shirt and analyzed her hair, and then he created a see saw out of my leg. Once I tried to stop him from playing in the park during church he was about to throw a tantrum and right as he was about to let out his roar.....DRUMS, MUSIC and SINGING was able to drown him out. Then he started to stare at a pretty little girl in a ruffled dress and drifted to sleep. We did attend chuch during his usual nap time so I completely expected him to dose off but I didn't think he would be able to withstand the LOUD music. He didnt' even jump! He was born with the ability to sleep through all types of noise, actually i think it's heredity because i've dosed off and have had some of my best sleep during church until I was attacked my grandma if she spotted me sleeping. Isn't that child abuse in the house of the Lord?

Happy Birthday!

Today is my nephew's birthday, I can't believe he is 5 years old today. It was 5 years ago that I went to Italy to welcome him in this world. I had just arrived and fallen asleep. Moments later I hear "I think it's time and I know you're tired from traveling but we have to go to the hospital now!" When he came out, he looked just like me as a baby! That is a very funny feeling, one I will never forget. It was 5 years ago that I smuggled 10 bottles of Italian wine on my carry on and had some charming strong man on each flight who was nice enough to help me place it on the shelf. A lot can happen in five years. His name is DelSean Clinton Miles. The Clinton keeps my late father's last name around. He will begin school this year so instead of a toy, I bought him the live caterpillars that will turn into a butterfly in a few weeks. If he doesn't kill them, this will be a great learning experience. It teaches him patience, responsibility, and helps him understand the process of a caterpillar's life cycle. His mom is getting him a power wheels Escalade that costs more than the average car note!... And I thought I spoiled my son. What's funny is that I wanted to get my little one an escalade or hummer. It looks fun. I remember always asking for a Barbie powerwheel but #1, mom said she couldn't afford it and #2, I think i was too big and exceeded the weight limit so that would have been a waste of money. Maybe she just said that so she wouldn't have to explain why I always had flat tires on my powerwheel. Oh well, I survived on a tricycle and banana seat bike!

Anyway we're off this weekend to see Grandma and old friends I have reconnected with on facebook so this should be fun.

Have a great Easter!
