Reid - 9/23/2015

Reid ate three servings of jelly toast and ate mangoes for breakfast.  For lunch he didn't have a bite of beef & bean burrito, ate half of sweet potatoes, and ate pineapple.  At the breakfast table Reid observed that Sophie was done and he said, "Him all done!"  Well he was half right!  Wrong pronoun, but correct assessment!!  Ha!  Later in the morning Reid was watching Sophie on the mattress and she kind of toppled over backwards onto the floor (she didn't get hurt or cry) and he roared with laughter!  Reid, again using wrong pronoun, said, "Him do backflip!!"  :)  (I love this job!!

Also, during lunch Cooper said, "I love you Reido."  It was so sincere and sweet.  Reid looked at him for a moment, kept on eating (nothing can disrupt that), and gave him the "I love you" sign!  Reid's been able to easily do that sign for a long time!  Love these two boys!!

Reid has his John Deere tractors here and Cooper saw the "deer" logo.  "Why is there a deer on this tractor?"  Cooper looked at this tractor (see picture) and asked, "Why did Reid paint his tractor?"  I said, "I don't know Coop, but he's a good painter!"

I've posted a couple pictures of the barricade we built this morning.  The boys were calling it their "hideout."  :)  I also wanted to mention that we did some painting this morning and Reid chose to paint with his hands.  Earlier he'd asked me if we were going to do art.  I love to make that available to them when I know they want to do it!

As you can see in both pictures Sophie found her way into the "hideout!!"
