Reid - 7/30/2015

Reid arrived around 10:00, so I'll do a short Blog the time he played before Lunch.  For lunch he ate two servings of turkey slices, ate whole wheat hamburger bun, several green beans, and two servings of strawberries.  I talked him into having a nibble of green bean and he ended up eating a few of  them.  Also at lunch he was soaking up juice from his strawberries with his hamburger bun and then eating the bun.  Ha!  And Cooper was mimicking that!!

I was trying to burp Baby Layla after feeding her; "Come on....burp Baby."  So Reid does a big burp "BURRRRRP....Like this!!"  That you for the help Reid!  :)  Then when we were outside he randomly said, "I only kick left-footed!"  He obviously has been listening!!  :)

These two boys did the exact same thing this morning as the last time they got together, just with a different topic.  I'll explain.  Their first conversation was about establishing the "Pecking Order!"  with some "one-upmanship!"  (I can't think of any other way to describe it!)  Today's conversation was about the size of their tractors at home; "My tractor is this big!" or "I've got a big bulldozer at home!!"  With their arms spread as wide as they can hold them!  Last time the conversation was about the size of the airplanes they rode on!! That lasted for probably 10 minutes and then they were ready to start playing!  (I think this is a male trait that pretty much lasts a life-time!!)  :)

I had told Cooper at breakfast that Reid was coming and he kept asking when, so I pointed at the clock and said "when that hand gets up there!"  A few minutes later he said, "That blue hand is NOT moving!"  :)  Nice observation Cooper!  Then just randomly he said, "I'm tougher than Reid!"  (Hee hee - another one of those everlasting male traits!!)  :)

I put the ramps on the bench and the boys had fun for a long time with Cooper's tractors. They were also running the dump trucks down the ramps (after loading them with all the tractors).
