Despite Brighton's hyper and impulsive nature, he is a really sweet kid with a big heart. He is a thinker, and is very inquisitive. I imagine he must be a lot like my dad as a kid. He asks questions constantly about how things work. I remember once as a teenager my sister brought home a new car. My dad, in his typical way, was inspecting everything, and when he got to the trunk was very impressed with how large it was. He went so far as climbing in and having someone shut the lid to test its space capacity. That was my dad, and I think Brighton is a lot like him. His uncle drilled him one day about how things work, and Brighton did an impressive job of thinking through it, and explaining it.
Brighton can be really funny at times. He's not shy at ALL and will talk to anyone. He makes friends easily, and is very loyal.
He's all boy, and is usually found outside, covered in dirt. Ironically, he's also the only one of my kids that makes his bed every day without fail.
I hope for a big, fat reward one day for raising this kid and keeping him alive:) We love you Brighton!
