Yesterday, we went over to my aunt’s house to celebrate a 7-year old’s birthday (Austin) and for Easter Sunday. As we pulled up to the house, there was a huge jumpy house out front. Brandon had just woken up from a nap, and his eyes almost popped out of his head! Dave, Austin’s dad, was cleaning it off before letting the kids jump around. The kids surrounded the house and couldn’t wait to get in. While they waited, they were throwing a football around. Brandon was the youngest, so he was inevitably the monkey in the middle. The other kids ranged from 5-11. Brandon was maybe a half-inch shorter than the two 5 year olds, so size-wise, he fit in. That was about all that he fit though. His maturity level was definitely pint-sized, getting him into trouble with the other kids. They didn’t get why this little kid was doing the things he was doing. It was a good learning experience for Brandon being around a lot of older kids. He was attracted to the girls, and followed them around. He hasn’t hung out with them much, so he didn’t really know all their names. He did learn them, asking me, as he sat next to one little girl, “Who’s that girl?” or “What’s that boy’s name?” He didn’t ask them directly, he just asked me. There was an older Brandon there, so our Brandon was known as “Little Brandon”. There were a lot of things to keep them busy – the jumpy house, coloring Easter eggs, a Cars bubble machine, and later an Easter egg hunt. Having only slept for 30 minutes on the drive over, we could tell Brandon was running on fumes. He did a great job of keeping his hands and feet to himself; we were proud of him for that. After all the kids opened their Easter baskets, the older boys all had shooter guns. Jeannie had just mentioned that her two boys had them at home, but they could only use them if they wore goggles. That made me chuckle a little bit, but later I saw the merit in it. Dave was supervising, when they were in the bouncie house and suddenly, Brandon was the “intruder”. They were shooting him in the back with the little darts. They were plastic, with a suction cup at the end of them, and the gun packed a pretty good punch. Dave said it didn’t phase him, but while Dave moved to another area to spot Brandon on the On the off chance that you don’t take after the cialis 10mg canada suggested regimen (two pills a day, consistently) – that is all that could possibly be needed for a satisfying intercourse.

Another school of thoughts calls it a behavioral disorder with its roots in feeling of inferiority arising out of strained relationships. prescription female viagra other side of the slide, Brandon was shot in the eye with a dart. I was inside with Peyton, when another mom came in to tell me what happened. By the time I went outside, Brandon was in the house again. He saw me and started crying again. His eye was a little popped, poor thing. They removed the gun from the “shooter”, and he was crying, too. That was about our cue to leave, as they were all at the ends of their ropes, especially the younger ones. Brandon got to eat ice cream cake, so that was all that was needed. We were leaving to go meet up with Josephine anyways, and were about 2 hours later than we told her.
We met up with Jos and Tung, and just hung out at his apartment. It was a 2 bedroom, and one door was closed. The window was opened and the door was making noise, rattling from the air. Brandon scampered over to me, and said, “Mommy, what’s in there?” I told him that nothing was in there, it was the air from the window being open. Then Tung said his brother was in there. Brandon said, “I want to go in there.” We all laughed and said he was maybe sleeping. We also said that since they were identical twins, the brother looked exactly like Tung. He forgot about it for a little bit, then said, “I wanna go wake up the brother.” We later were going out to dinner, and when Tung knocked on his brother’s door to ask him if he wanted to go, Brandon ran up there with him to take a peek. So noisy! We didn’t stay long, since the TV and video games were making me uneasy with Brandon being there. He’s like a bull in a china shop. Jos had to leave to go to the airport, so we didn’t stay long. He stayed awake the entire ride home. He was got 3 easter baskets, and was excited to see what was in there. He even had his first taste of candy! It was a starburst, a lemon one. We’ll have to confiscate the rest of the candy. He liked his bulldozer that Rima got him, so that was good. I asked Brandon what his favorite part of the day was – he said it was the bouncie house. Dave’s favorite part of the day was going home. It was good to be back after a full day’s worth of activity.
