Reid - 4/28/2016

Reid ate cinnamon toast and two servings of strawberries for breakfast.  When Reid was washing up after breakfast he said, "When it gets to be 5:00 we can take a nap!"  It sounded like he was seriously looking forward to that opportunity!  For lunch he ate baked chicken, bun, most of hash browns, and ate canned cherries.  He also finished off the strawberries from breakfast.  The boys were dipping their buns in cherry juice and marveling how wonderful that made the bread taste!  :)  Cooper informed Reid at Lunch that "the color of your shirt is the same color as Darth Vader's light saber."  And Reid seemed quite pleased with that bit of trivia.  :)

I was putting breakfast stuff in the kitchen when I heard Cooper start crying.  When I came around the corner Reid was already giving Cooper hugs with one arm and with his other hand he was trying to cover Cooper's howling mouth.  He always thinks quick hugs will keep him from getting into trouble!  Ha!  I'd already given them instructions to find other ways to play with the Star Wars toys instead of throwing them and apparently a wildly thrown car had hit Coop in the head.  And that's the reason I don't allow toys to be thrown in the house, I told them.  They were both nodding in agreement!  Ha!  So we read some books and did some more calming type of activities.

I was at the gate watching Sophie and she was standing alone across the room.  I said (to no one in particular, mostly to myself), "I think maybe Sophie's pooping again."  Reid made the astute observation; "You smell it all the way from there!?!"  Haahaa!!!  Not yet!!

Cooper brought yet another Star Wars toy and I took a picture of Reid closely examining it.  Much of the morning was spent building weapons, launching pads to launch those weapons, and setting "traps" (according to Cooper) for the unsuspecting babies.  :)
