Reid - 3/22/2016

Reid ate blueberry bagel and three servings of apricots for breakfast.  For lunch he ate chicken, three servings of elbow noodles, ate most of peas, and three servings of applesauce.  At the breakfast table the boys were talking about "going backwards on slides."  Cooper said, "I land on my Face!  When we go outside I'll show you!!"  Ha!  Reid said, "I go backwards, but that not really good for me!" :)
After breakfast Reid said, "Why do I always have to wash!?!"  Ha!

Sophie has been saying lots of words and I have no idea what she's saying.  She said, "nop nop" and Reid said, "Who's there?!?"  Ha!  That made me laugh.

Speaking of "landing on my face" yesterday afternoon the kids started going off the climber and doing "face-plants" on the mattress.  They were calling them "Face-first Elliott Flops!"  I guess that's the legacy Elliott left behind!  It's interesting that's what they remember and the fact that Elliott has been gone for over 6 months.  (It really was hilarious!!)  At the breakfast table Reid asked, "Why did you take down Elliott's picture!?!"

Cooper and Reid built the structure you see in the picture below with the blocks and said, "It's a ship-house!"  In the first picture you can see Cooper curled up to the left of Reid.  They were getting ready to go to "sleep."  I have 2 observations; 1.  I think Reid got the Master Bedroom!  Cooper's space looks pretty small!  2.) The full container of Star Wars goodies fell off the red block just as I was taking the picture and you can see it landing on Cooper's head!  Cooper said, "That didn't hurt!"  Reid said, "Let's do it again!!"  Ha!  I took the second picture to show that Sophie made it (with help from Reid and Gary) into the "ship-house" even though Cooper said it was for "Boys Only!!"  Although she was relegated to the stern of the ship!  :)  I love the look on Reid's face when he was looking at Sophie and inviting her in.  Such a sweet boy.
