Reid - 4/22/2016

Reid ate bites of chex cereal (oatmeal on Monday) and ate canned prunes for breakfast.  Yes he ate some prunes!!  :)  A few months ago he wouldn't touch them.  Then he started licking them, then finally tried a bite, and continued to try bites.  Today I put a bite on his plate and he ate it and asked for more.  :)  For lunch he ate hash brown casserole, two servings of biscuits, and three servings of mandarin oranges.  At breakfast Cooper gave the updated weather forecast; "On the news this morning there's a storm warning!  There's a storm rolling in!"  (Totally reminded me of Kenzie.)  Apparently Reid was impressed because he said; "Wow!"  :)

I liked Momma Lesley's reaction when she saw the 2 "tooter machines" this morning; "I live in a house with 3 boys (I'm thinking actually 4 boys!  Ha!)  and why would I want or need a tooter machine!"  I took this picture of the boys initiating Hudson with their tooter machines and I like the look on Hudson's face!  Cooper was singing, "I'm tooting tooting tooting, I'm tooting all day long..." To the tune of another song.  Ha!

The boys built this block structure you see in the picture below.  They said it was a "Big Missile Launcher."  And later changed that to a "canon."  It was primarily constructed to keep Hudson away!  Ha!  And, once again, it seemed to be working because Hudson was sleeping through it all!  Cooper was explaining how the "canon" worked; "Whenever Hudson's out here it will shoot."  I said, "So when Hudson arrives the canon will go off?"  Cooper said, "No, the canon will go on!"  Hahahaa!

The last book we read at Story Time was Dr. Seuss; "Hop on Pop" and it was right before Lunch Time.  It's full of simple, but catchy words and rhymes.  For example; "Fast. Past. He went past fast." Both boys were rhyming words all through Lunch and making up words.  It was super cute.
