Reid - 5/4/2016

Reid ate english muffin and canned prunes for breakfast.  He ate the one prune I put on his plate and then asked for more.  I'm very proud of him for learning to like something that he originally didn't want to touch!  For lunch he ate a couple bites of beef & bean burrito, ate sweet potatoes, and tropical fruit. Reid didn't like the burrito at lunch and I noticed he'd deposited it on Cooper's plate, which apparently was fine with Coop!  I told Reid to put it back on his own plate and he said, "Well I don't like it."  Ok, but we don't stash unwanted food on our neighbor's plate.  :)

I took this picture yesterday afternoon because I thought it was cute how they were perched on the top of the yellow benches together.  I'm not really sure what they're focused on, but it could have been the "fish."

I took this picture of Cooper under Reid's blanket ("Blue Guy") after he'd ate breakfast.  Everyone else was still eating and Cooper was trying to get some attention!  He kept saying, "I'm snug as a bug in a rug!"  :)  Cutie!

The boys were playing with the "number pillows" and calling them their "backpacks" and "life jackets."  And it evolved into some kind of "life-saving equipment in the lava flow!"  Ha!  Pretty handy pillows I'd say!  We read books, did some art, and sang songs.  Speaking of songs I didn't realize I was singing this particular song very much until I heard Reid and Cooper start singing it.  It's an old Chuck Berry song - "Maybellene" - and Avilene rhymes and fits perfect in the song.  I heard Reid and Cooper this morning both singing, "Oh Avilene, why can't you be true..."  LOL  (Maybellene was a "car.")
