I would normally post a bit of a sappy post on Valentines Day about how much I love my husband. However, I feel like I do that often enough, and anyone who has read for a while or knows anything about us knows how we feel about each other 💏 I thought I’d mix it up and share with you guys some general “wins” for Brady. Things that make him feel happy and fulfilled. A bit of a “get to know Brady” post.
The first thing Brady loves is washing the van. Not even kidding. We don’t do it nearly often enough, but that is because the boy simply cannot contain himself and the prices wracks up SO FAST! But he suuuper loves it, and anytime we’re taking someone somewhere or the weather permits, he petitions for a car wash 🙂 The kids also love being in the van as their daddy wand washes the heck out of the windows and makes faces at them. Its a win for everyone. But mostly Brady.
To branch off of this one, Brady LOVES a road trip. He is happy to pack our tubs, bags, high chairs, playpens, hampers, etc. Tetris-style into the van. He loves navigating new ways to get to our destination, singing with us all in the van, buying special meals and snacks along the way, and as is SO often the case, discussing baby names with me 🙂 Seriously, why is planning for a baby so much more fun on a road trip?? Most of our babies have been named while we’re on road trips. He is a VERY happy traveller.
This second picture just cracks me right up, hahaha! Great minds think alike??
Brady loves music. If you’ve EVER been around him, you probably already know that 😉 Music in many capacities. He likes learning complicated guitar parts, getting to play drums in church from time to time, leading others in worship, and singing to our kids. He love the opportunity to buy new albums, and iTunes gift cards are NEVER a cop out gift for him! At any given point, he has a handful of albums he can’t wait to get his hands on!
This one might sound a bit strange, but Brady loves being really solidly productive. When a day goes faster than expected, or he hits a new “record” at work, he is so pleased! That translates to home, too. If he gets a lot done around the house, that also counts. He is NOT a man who is above household stuff, so a day where he willingly does ALL the laundry, or catches up the dishes when they’re days behind, is a rewarding, successful day. Same goes for errand days in the city. He is a willing participant in the busyness of our life, and not JUST at work, and I am SO thankful that he is that guy. Who loves to help and work without any bitterness towards his family <3 Not too many of those men floating around these days. Bonus points for productive tasks that include the necessity of buying a new tool 😉
One of the biggest ones, obviously, is that Brady LOVES being a dad. He so often picks the floor over the couch, and will lay down there, with all the kids piled on top of him. We don’t do a ton of wrestling, but there are LOTS of kids being tossed in the air, hung upside down, and tickled until they pee (or poop, haha! But thats another story) He is a hands-on, loving, involved dad.
** Bonus one! Brady loves new underwear, lol! Whether they’re fancy or not, he’s a big fan of a new pair! Which is convenient, because thats what he got for Valentines Day this year, haha! Wife win? Probably not so much, but he still loves me 😉 Thats another important one <3
I love you, Brady Born! But thats not new 😉 Miss you today!
