Dance, Dance wherever you may be...

Who won this episode of "tradesies"?

We were asking Brenley today if she enjoyed her lunch at school.

Well, I didn't really eat a whole lot of it..."

me: "Is that cuz you weren't feeling well?"

No, not really. I just didn't like it that much (It was roast beef & potatoes). But it's ok, cuz Grace and I traded.

"What did you trade?" I asked, thinking she gave Grace her roast beef?!

Well, you know those round meat things that sometimes can be really spicy but these ones weren't?

"You mean Salami?"

Yeah. that.

"So, what did you trade her in return?"

oh, a couple of rocket candy.

LOL. Here's hoping Grace wasn't too hungry this evening!

What?!?!

Driving in the truck last night, Brenley & Madden were playing "teacher & student" -- Brenley was the teacher, obviously.
So, she asks him after he repeated a bunch of words,

"Maddddd-ennn, can you say your ABCs?"

No response

"MADD-DEN, can you say your ABCs?!"

Then we hear a little voice starting to sing the ABCs melody...

"OH MY GOD, kid! Do you hear that, Mamaidh?" (Turns to him)
"Um, you're kinda freaking me out!"

(To me):
"I didn't think he was that smart!"

LMAO

ooops... sorry...

I didn't realize it's been so long since I posted anything here on Brenley's blog.
Where do I begin after all this time? We'll do some bullets...

School

• School has started. She loves it. She has her best friend, Katherine, whom she has known since forever since they had the same babysitter.
• Her favourite parts of school are colouring in the morning in the cafeteria with all the students before classes begin; gym; music; Gaelic; and time spent outside for recess!
• She thinks that her classmate, Orianna, has the "best laugh, the best curly hair, and the best way to think".
• She doesn't speak to anyone in school except for her friends and Miss MacMillan and Meaghan. It's because she's "too shy". That is, she won't speak to her teacher. (I'm thinking about renting her for weekends....)
• She loves to get the bus, on the rare occasion that I can't drive her.
• I won't say she has a crush on two brothers in grades higher than her... lol... but if I have to answer any more questions about them I'll scream!!

Defining Moment

• A big moment for Brenley happened during the Celtic Colours Festival. She finally got to meet the girl she's named after, Brenley MacEachern of Madison Violet. She was very shy (of course) but sooooo pumped to meet her. She held her guitar, hung out with her for a little while, sat in awe during her soundcheck ("I can't believe I'm named after a girl that can sing so good!"), and even learned a handshake from "big Brenley". She's pretty proud.

So... with all of that, I've got to be more dedicated to writing her funny stuff down. But, actually, when I think of it... she talks a lot less since she started school... now that she's so shy. Let's hope that moves along and the holy-shit-I-can't-believe-she-said-that Brenley comes back soon!
