Reid - 12/18/2015

Reid ate oatmeal and dried cranberries for breakfast.  For lunch he ate ground beef, three servings of whole wheat elbow noodles, ate peas, and applesauce.  I was singing Reid's name at breakfast and Cooper said, "Reid has a little (short) name."  How many letters?  And without a moment of hesitation he said, "Four."  Nice job Coop!

Reid built this tall tower using just the little blocks and it actually was standing alone before he put on the last two or three blocks.  I then asked him to hold it steady so it didn't fall on Sophie.  Reid said, "This is my tower!  This tower hakes!!"  (shakes)  He was shaking it a little bit.  :)

Reid LOVES this book in this toy exchange; "Blue Hat, Green Hat."  The first time we read it last week he was laughing so hard he was shaking.  Cooper brought it to him today and said, "Let's read the silly book." The book is based on color and they really can read it.  They probably read it between 5 and 10 times and were laughing on every page.  Cooper said, "This book is so weird!"  Finally Reid said, "Too much hilliness!!"  (silliness)  And he tosses the book aside!  :)

These two boys were being typical boys this morning and had a major discussion about "fast" and "strong!"  I was catching bits and pieces of their conversation and I heard Cooper say, "Your Dad is fast; My Dad is faster!"  (See!  That proves he's been listening to you Casey!!)  Then I heard Cooper say, "When I get big I can lift you guys up!!"  I asked, "Like who?"  Cooper said, "Like Sophie and Gary!"  Ok, I thought you meant the Templeton Guys!  :)
