Quote of the night

You need to know the whole picture first...

Typically Brody wears pajamas all day, the ones with feet and that zip up. Pulling a shirt or a onesie over the helmet is a pain in the butt and so is taking off the helmet to dress him is equally as annoying. The situation for me recently has been that Brody is huge and outgrowing many of his zip pajamas. He also is now a week away from not having to wear a helmet anymore. So, recently I have been experimenting with Brody wearing onesies and shirts.

Today he was wearing a little shirt with bright yellow bananas all over it with small writing that said 'bananas in my belly'.

Part of the joy of having Chad be an involved father is getting to hear random snippets of his conversations with Brody. One example is walking into Brody's room after bathtime to find Chad singing 'Amarillo by Morning' to him. It makes my heart melt. Other times I hear him say the funniest things, which brings me to the quote of the day -

Chad's thoughtful parenting advise to Brody tonight. Read with a deadpan voice, very matter-of-fact -

"Brody, it's okay to wear a banana shirt, but not a banana hammock."

Sage advise indeed.

That is very wise advice...and made me chuckle.
