so sleepy...

sleepy brooksie b...

loves Aunt Jessica.

good times at the gaylord...

the nursing home...

Brooks loves the nursing home and he really loves two particular people: Ernest and Hezekiah. When he sees them he stretches out his arms to them making it known he wants them to hold him. He even lets them take him out of the room where he disappears without making a noise or shedding a tear. The other day I looked out of Keith's room to see Brooks hanging out at the nurses station smiling and playing on the counter.


A little while later I kept hearing laughing and giggling and adults speaking in baby voices in the break room across the hall from Keith. When I looked at the nurses station I noticed he was no longer there. I poked my head in the break room and saw this...

there he was hanging out having a grand old time.
