| Bradley's 6th bday... |
Let me introduce you to the best step son, big brother, little brother, and just all around great little man Bradley Aaron Ontis. I had the pleasure of meeting him in 2007 when he was 4 years old. He came to Todd's for their weekend visitation and as i was sitting on the couch nervous as can be, here comes the cutest little boy creeping around the corner trying to get a peek of me before he said his goodbyes to his mama...
He has been a wonderful addition to my family and is the sweetest thing you've ever met. He always was asking his dad for a little sister and when we finally told him we were going to have a baby and he found out it would be a little girl he was sooooo excited..."finally a little sister" he said. I couldn't have asked for a more attentive, loving, caring big brother for Elizabeth. From the moment she was here he was super curious about her, he wanted to hold her, feed her...he even used to try super hard to get her to play with him when she was just an infant...he didn't understand she couldn't play yet.
They are going to grow to be super close, they are already...i will make this prediction and maybe unveil the results to you later in life...Bradley is going to be that brother that loves his little sister so much that no boy will dream of breaking her heart because Bradley will have something to say about it...Todd wont even get a chance to pull out the shotgun and start cleaning it on her first date...Bradley will be waiting to answer the door.......
Elizabeth has played with his toys...she like them more than her own and Bradley is FABULOUS about sharing his imaginex, monster trucks, and all his other toys with her, when he is gone she comes to me all the time "where Bradley.." "Bradley coming?" she loves her little brother more than anything.
He is struggling with school right now but we try to sit with him and go over his studies whenever we get the chance too, school is important i tell him all the time and you always have to try to do your best.
Bradley loves soccer, any kind of ball playing, playing with Dane his friend next door and with his dad...he and Todd can play for hours..I'm not the sit down and play type i forgot how to do that a long time ago but Todd is a big kid and has so much fun playing games, trucks, cars, and anything with him. we are getting him into chores now that he is 7 and Kaila complains of having to do them and watch Bradley sit...so responsibility is the next on the plate for him, you may have to remind him a few times but he gets his bed made, room cleaned, clothes put away, front room picked up, garbage bag put back in the can after Kaila takes it out and puts the dishes away for Kaila before she tackles getting them done after meals...now they are not our slaves, they earn an allowance every week so they understand what it like to work for what you have along with learning life's little habits that will help him later in life, now without even being assigned it as a chore he asks every time i do laundry to help, he likes to clean the lint trap and switch the laundry...hes getting so responsible...i cant say how proud of this little boy i am...
