Reid - 10/28/2016

Reid said, "Gary, I actually eat oatmeal at home already today."  However, I noticed that didn't slow him too much at breakfast.  He ate oatmeal and dried cranberries.  For lunch he ate two servings of ground beef, a bushel of whole wheat elbow noodles, ate most of peas, and three servings of applesauce.  (Which he likes to put on his noodles.)

Whenever I step out of the room for something I always tell the kids what I'm doing.  So this morning I was taking a poopy diaper to the outside diaper disposal and I said, "I'm taking poopy diaper to the garbage."  Reid and Sophie were busy playing and Reid said, "We don't really care."  LOL!!  That totally hit my funny bone and I roared.

Sophie was trying to get Reid to do something this morning, but I wasn't quite sure what she wanted.  And neither was Reid!  Anyhow, she said to me, "Gary!  Reid fight with me!"  Haha!  (Translation: He not do what I tell him to!!)  We also read books, sang songs, and did some more of the Halloween stickers at Art Time.

When I was heading for the bathroom I said, "You're in charge Reid."  Sophie said, "I'm in charge." Reid said, "Maybe at your house, but I in charge here."  LOL  Hmmm...I think he's heard me telling other children that in the past!!

I took this picture of Reid feeding Avilene some whale!  Reid was saying, "Yum yum yum yum yum, yum yum yum yum yum, ....."  :)

He was jumping off the blocks onto the hard floor when I took this picture.  I told him he should jump on the mattress for a soft landing.  He said, "This my final one!  It like 40 Feet!!"

Reid - 10/27/2016

Reid ate two servings of raisin english muffin and three large serving of blueberries for breakfast.  And that was after finishing (30 minutes earlier) a big bowl of oatmeal that he'd brought from home!

Here are some Reid quotes today: What street do you live on Reid?  "Uhhh, my family call it Montana!"  Well please inform them that's our State, not Street!  :)
He's STILL talking about the LONG trip to Denver!  He said, "My butt was starting to rumble!!"
Yesterday's snack - "I want more food!"  Animal crackers or bananas?  "Monkey Food!"  :)
I've mentioned this before, but Hudson likes to do everything that Reid does.  He actually adores Reid!!  This morning Reid was tossing the legos and so I reminded him it's not safe to throw the toys with babies here and also that Hudson will mimic him!  So Reid then said to Hudson, "Don't throw em Bubba; I'm just launching em!!"  LOL!!

Playing with Avilene.  She was crawling across the floor as fast as she could travel!  And it's actually pretty fast!  She doesn't sit still very much!!

Reid thought this picture was hilarious because you can only see a small portion of his face.  He said, "My Mom see me like this before!"  :)

I took a picture of the bag full of extra plastics bags that I keep on the shelf above the diaper rack.  Reid spotted it today (I guess it's the first time he's noticed it!) and said, "Hey Gary!! I found a whole poopy diaper up there!"  At first I couldn't figure out what he was talking about!  Have I mentioned that he cracks me up!?!  That's one big poopy diaper!!  And why am I storing it up there!?

I started working on this legos structure to get Reid interested in building with the legos and then he  took over and finished it.  He really worked hard at it for 20 - 30 minutes.  Nice work Reid.

Reid - 10/26/2016

Reid ate jelly toast and three servings of mangoes for breakfast.  For lunch he ate bite of burrito (rice, chicken, bean), ate sweet potatoes, and three servings of tropical fruit.  At breakfast he said, "We never get pears."  So I asked if he meant at home or Daycare.  He said, "Walmart!"  LOL!!  Have I mentioned he cracks me up!!

Right after lunch Sophie was the first to spot a bunny rabbit hopping across the street toward the mail boxes.  It stopped and ate grass in the yard there.  She said, "Gary!!  I saw bunny running!!"  I have to tell you what Reid said because it was SO hilarious!  "My Dad can never get a perfect (s)hot on a bunny to eat it for dinner!  They keep hopping!!"  I roared!

Reid got himself settled in for a nap.  He said, "I'm taking a nap in here."  Then when I took the picture he said, "Hey!  You wake me up from my nap!"  Later at Art Time we were sticking lots of different kinds of duct tape to some paper.  One is a "bacon" pattern.  Reid said, "Bacon actually candy!!"  LOL!!  (Raise a child in the way they shall go....Good work!)

Reid had been laying on the mattress covered with a blanket.  The little people were crawling all over him and he jumped up and headed for the couch.  He said, "I'm outta here!!"  Sophie followed him to the couch Reid said, "You guys don't have to panic cause I not play with you!"  LOL!

It's a happy happy day!!  The whole wheat elbow noodles arrived by mail today and here's a picture of the celebration!  Rejoice and be glad!!  Ha!!

Reid - 10/25/2016

Reid ate three servings of cinnamon rolls and ate canned prunes for breakfast.  For lunch he ate bites of scrambled eggs, sausage, hash brown combo; ate three servings of waffles and two servings of grapes.  At 10:30 Reid asked, "Can we eat already!?!"  Haha!  It's been 1 Hour since you got up from the breakfast table.  At lunch time I pretended to dump the syrup on his head when I was putting some on his waffle.  Reid said, "If I were you and you were me, I'd dump that on your head!!"  LOL

Reid said, "Gary, did you know you can buy money online?"  So I asked him how much it costs.  He said, "3 Bucks!"  Ok, so how much money do you get for 3 bucks?  "Hixty dollars!!"  Wow!  So let me get this right!!  For 3 bucks I can get 60 dollars?  "Yup!!"  I want in on some of that action!!  :)  He said, "I only have 4 dollars left."  Oh, I'm sorry!  Another victim of an online money scam!!  :)

I took this picture yesterday when Hudson was putting syrup on Reid's pancake.  He did it over and over and seemed to know what Reid was wanting him to do.  Reid is so good with the little ones!  Thank you Reid!!

Sophie was pretty proud of the legos creation she made and brought it to show me.  Then she also took it to Reid to show him.  I took this first picture when He asked, "Is this my Birthday cake?!?"  Haha!  With Reid it's usually about food!!  Ha!

We had Story Time, Art Time, and then Reid, Sophie, and Hudson were playing on the floor.  Isn't this cute?  Another example of Reid being great with the little people.

Reid - 10/19/2016

Reid ate apple/cinnamon bagel and two servings of peaches for breakfast.  For lunch he ate three servings of ham, a bushel of whole wheat elbow noodles, ate corn, and two servings of apple slices.

Both of these pictures are from yesterday.  For the first picture; He said, "This how you make a bed!!" Ha!  Well you certainly look comfy!  :)  And in the second picture he was playing with the magnetic game - whatever it's called!

Reid is such a cool and fun-loving kid.  Yesterday Hudson had thunked Sophie on the head with a cup and she was crying.  I snuggled her and then finished cleaning up breakfast.  I heard Sophie laughing and Reid said, "I help Sophie not cry,"  How did you do that Reid?  "I banged this on my head!"  (Holding up one of the food toys.) Well that definitely helped her stop crying!  :)  I thought I heard something go thunk!!  What a clown; but a sweet clown!!  Speaking of being a clown: Yesterday when Daddy Colin dropped off Hudson, Reid headed for the window and said, "I'm gonna wave at Uncle Pat."  He knew he had the wrong name and was being silly.  He said the same thing this morning; except it did it for both Colin and Pat.

Reid quotes: Today he found the "mother lode" of halloween candy.  He said, "I'm really dying for halloween.  Make sure I get this one."  (Pointing at a certain candy.  I told him he could chose whatever he wanted if he came by.)
Yesterday he said, "Bode is really dying for Christmas."  I told him I thought it was probably him that was dying for Christmas.  He said, "No, I'm dying for my Birthday Party!"  Haha!  "I'm gonna get a new present; it's guy-nor-mous!!" Haha!  "Mega nerf gun!!"

I already told Momma Lesley about this, but I'm gonna post it anyhow!  I was SO proud of myself for figuring it out!  Ha! Even though it took 2 Days!!  Here's the "riddle" he told me on Monday:
"If you peek around the corner you will see a big surprise!!"  What corner?  "If you come to our house you will see!"  Hmmm.....ok.  "It's for walking or riding a bicycle; that's the only thing.  If you drive a car on it - it will break."  Hmmm....ok.  Is it the walking trail?  "Nope.  You're gonna have to come to our house."  Hmmm......next day....yesterday.....Is is the walking trail?  "No.  Not for cars.  It have 2 ramps."  Hmmm......I GOT IT!!  Is it the overpass over Reserve Street?  "YES!!"  :)

Reid - 10/17/2016

Reid ate half of corn chex cereal and three servings of mixed fruit for breakfast.  For lunch he ate two servings of beef sandwich, drank tomato soup, ate crackers, and bite of pickled beets.  

At breakfast Sophie started talking about "Sula's tummy hurt.  I play with Mommy, Daddy, and Nora.  Not Sula; Sula's tummy hurt."  Then she asked Reid, "What's your doggy's name?"  Does this sound familiar? (See last Friday's Blog)  I guess it sounded familiar to Reid too!  He did a big over-exaggerated eye roll and said loudly; "EEFF!"  (Chief - as in Kansas City Chief for those that don't know.)  Then at lunch time Reid ate the rest of Sophie's beef sandwich because she didn't want it and he was saying something to her about her not liking it.  It sounded like he was teasing her.  She finally said, "Don't talk to me...talk to Bubba!"  LOL!!!  Oh man that was so funny.  She wasn't appreciating whatever it was he was saying.  :)

Reid asked me this morning; "Remember Elliott!?!"  Yup.  "Wasn't that funny when he did that flop!??"  Yup.  So I said, "You guys (Kenzie, Cooper, and Reid) have kept that memory alive."  He said, "I was alive that year!"  LOL!   Yup.

Here's a picture of Reid with Avilene at the gate.  He was saying to her; "If I was you, I wouldn't stand up."  Haha!  Then upon further consideration he elaborated some more; "If I was you, I wouldn't walk."  Haha!  

Sophie came into Daycare this morning talking about Birthdays.  She said, "I have Birthday coming up!"  (Not until July)  Reid, "Well I am 4."  So I said, "Well I've had 61 Birthdays!"  Reid was totally impressed!  (Probably thinking PRESENTS!!)  "I can't wait to have 61 Birthdays!"  Oh man I roared!!  Then here's the Big Punch Line;  "My Mom had 61 Birthdays!!"  Haaahahaha!!  Well I didn't know that!!

Reid - 10/14/2016

Reid ate most of oatmeal and three servings of canned prunes for breakfast.  It wasn't that long ago I couldn't hardly get him to try a bite of them.  For lunch he ate hash brown casserole, three biscuits, and three servings of mandarin oranges.  At breakfast I had Hudson's oatmeal on the freezer and Avi's food on the freezer.  I was feeding both of them and had to step away for a second.  Avi reached up and knocked Hudson's oatmeal on the floor.  (My fault!  Too close!)  Reid said, "I'm glad I'm not close to Her!!"  Haha!

Also at breakfast Sophie was INTENTLY watching Reid take a big bite of oatmeal.  Her eyes followed from plate to mouth and she opened her mouth too.  :)  Reid noticed and said, "Her staring at me!"  Well it's kind of mesmerizing for me too!!  :)
Then at the Lunch table Sophie asked Reid, "What's your dog's name?"  "Chief"  "My dog's name is Sula." "What's your cat's name?"  Reid answered, "I Don't have a cat."  "Why?"  Reid said, "my Mom's allergic."  "Why?"  Reid said, "Because she sneezes a lot!"  Haha!  Good conversation, but it got funnier.  Sophie said, "My cat's name is ......"  We had her say it too many times and we could NEVER figure it out.  (even though Momma Molly has told me before!!)  And here's Reid's response; "Would be better if her have teeth!!"  LOL!!  Oh man, I roared!  Especially coming from the one who calls her "Hofie!!"  (We read a Dr. Seuss book about teeth that says you need them to talk.)

Reid was making an observation about the babies drinking from bottles.  He said, "When people crawl they get bottle."  (Still a baby.)  Sophie immediately got on the floor and started crawling.  She looked at me grinning and said, "I get bottle crawling."  :)

Here's a picture of Reid playing with the barn and he's got Luke Skywalker falling through the "trapdoor" and landing on the bottom level.  He did it over and over and kept saying, "Oooooh, he landed on his feet!"  Sophie was trying to tell Reid were she put his toy.  She was pointing at the changing table saying, "Skywalker, Skywalker, Skywalker."  Very cute.

Reid was hanging off the couch and his shirt fell down around the floor exposing a couple of nasty bruises on his back.  As you can see in the picture Sophie was having a close-up observation!!  And was very concerned!!  Then moments later she was lifting Hudson's shirt to see if he had a bruise on his back!  Haha!

Reid - 10/13/2016

Reid had two or three servings of breakfast: whole wheat toast and watermelon.  For lunch he ate three servings of turkey slices, ate dinner roll, 6 green beans, and three servings of mangoes.  I told him he had to eat those 6 green beans to get 2nd's and more servings!  Ha!  No problem!!  :)  When I served Lunch he consulted with "himself" to determine how to proceed; "Let's go with the mango!"  Next: "The hecond thing is turkey!"  Ha!  When he asked for more mangoes he said, "I want some more of those sweet guys!!"  LOL!  Frequently when he makes me laugh or does something to impress himself he'll say; "Put that on my Blog!!"  OK!!  Consider it done!!

Reid was holding up the mirror lid playing "monkey" with Hudson and Avi and I happened to get a picture where you can see Hudon's reflection.  You can see he's grinning all over and having fun with the game.  Moments later Reid accidentally grazed the side of Hudson's face with his foot.  Hudson grimaced, but he didn't cry.  I told Reid to give him a love and Hudson laid his head on Reid's shoulder.  It was sweet and precious.  Good job boys.  Reid is very sweet with the little ones.

Jamie called this morning and Cooper wanted to wave at Reid so we went to the window.  (They'd just dropped off Kenzie and Riley.  We've done this before.)  As they were leaving Reid said, "I could have told them it was (s)nowing!"  I guess so, however it's not snowing.  "Well, see the white in the grass."  (Frost.)  Ok, that looks like snow.

Shortly after Reid arrived I told him that Sophie was not here today, but would be here tomorrow.  He said, "I already know that."  Oh.  Is there anything I could tell you that you DON'T already know?  "No."  Hahahaha!!!  Of course not.  Then he was out doing some puzzles and started sliding across the floor.  Check out his face in the picture below.  Having some fun!!  Hardwood floors are awesome!  Ha!

Reid - 10/12/2016

Reid ate two servings of jelly toast and two servings of mixed berries for breakfast.  For lunch he ate three servings of ham, lots of crackers, ate bean & bacon soup, and ate strawberries.  At lunch time I asked Reid if I was the funniest guy he knew.  "No."  Who is the funniest guy you know?  "Bubba."  LOL!  Yup, I agree.  He's pretty hilarious.  He may get funnier when he can talk!!

At breakfast the jelly was leaking from Sophie's toast and I told her she could lick it off the edge.  Reid made a remark, not about Sophie, but babies in general.  "Baby don't have tongue."  Haha!  So I showed him the inside of Avi's mouth!!  That's a tongue.

Sophie asked; "Where's Reido?"  He's in the bathroom.  Reid soon came back.  "Hi Reido!!"  Reid said, "Hi!" and then he asked Sophie; "What'd I miss?!?"  LOL

Yesterday we were doing our usual watching for Bode, Kenzie, and Riley after school.  I saw a blonde headed boy walking with a girl and asked; "Is that Bode?"  Reid said, "Uhhh....no; Bode not a girl too."  Meaning....the girl isn't Bode either!!  Hahaha!!

Here's a couple of comments from Reid today:
"I wonder what Cooper's Dad is gonna be for Halloween?"
Watching neighbor's dog; "I think the doggies don't love (s)no!"
"I think Bubba's poopy."  Thank you Reid.  Except I was busy and forgot to check.  10 Minutes later Reid again said, "Uhhh..Gary...see if Bubba's poopy!!!!"  Apparently the stink was on the increase!
Here's Reid working on some puzzles this morning.

Reid - 10/11/2016

Reid ate two servings of bagel (maple flavored) and ate apricots for breakfast.  For lunch he ate chicken, large servings of whole wheat elbow noodles, ate peas, and large servings of applesauce.  I'd made the mistake of telling him this morning what we were having for lunch.  Before 10:00 he asked. "When's it gonna be snack!?!"  Uhhh...I think you probably mean lunch!?  Ha!  Does it seem like we frequently have elbow noodles!?!  I checked the menu and it's scheduled every week!  That's could be too much.  However, one of those was originally mac-n-cheese, but I dropped the cheese because Reid couldn't have it and it became another noodle meal!!  I probably will check with Lauralea and see if this is kosher with the Food Program.  Reid is in favor 110%!!  Ha!

I get such a kick out of so many of Reid's comments!  That's one of the funnest parts of the work I do. Yesterday afternoon after nap time it was time to watch for Bode, Kenzie, and Riley.  Our neighbor Susan always walks her son (Joel) home.  They were walking by and I said, "Here comes Susan and Joel."  Reid said, "I didn't know they could get up that early!!"  LOL!  I roared!!  Maybe he thinks everyone takes a nap!!

We were watching the snow flakes come down this morning and Reid said, "You see that white things coming out of the sky?"  Yes I do.  "That is (s)no!!"  Thank you!  "I ate (s)no flake before!"  Then he added; "I think it already Christmas!!"  Haha!  He's certainly looking forward to the possibility of scoring some more gifts!!  Christmas has been a frequent theme lately!  :)

I took this next picture to show you how rough Reid has it!  Lounge mode this morning!!  We read books and I took a picture of them doing some play dough as well.  He had lots of fun and worked with the play dough for maybe 20 - 30 minutes.  First he said, "Guess what I'm making!?"  Not sure, what is it?  "A big mess!!"  LOL!  Later, he was a bit more creative!  He said, "My creation is gonna be something from Star Wars!"

Reid - 10/10/2016

Reid ate raisin bran cereal and three servings of dried cranberries for breakfast.  He said, "That was good!!"  For lunch he ate peanut butter and jelly sandwich (no cheese/canadian bacon pizza), ate corn, and three servings of tropical fruit.  I was sure there was no cheese on that pizza, but I was wrong!!  Oops!  (He never ate any.)  When Hudson was done with breakfast he walked past
Reid, who was still eating, waved and said, "Hi!" like it was the first time he'd seen him all morning. Ha!  And Reid said, "hi" back to him.

He told us a story at breakfast about "sleep walking."  "One time I was sleep walking and peed in the trash can.  Dad said I was facing the wrong way, but I didn't have my eyes open."  Sophie just sat there looking at him and listening with a puzzled look on her face.  Ha!

These two pictures tell the story of what Reid enjoyed the most this morning.  First picture - Avilene. Second picture - Sophie.  Hudson also got his fair share of blanket tosses, but I didn't get a picture of that.  While the kids were playing on the mattress I heard Reid giving Sophie some solid advice; "If you pull hard enough on your socks they'll actually come off!!"  Good to know!  :)

While I was taking a picture of Sophie Reid tossed a legos guy toward Sophie and said, "Him just photo-bomb her!"  Another new term for the English language and 3 and 4 year olds already know what it means!!  That cracks me up!!  

Reid - 10/7/2016

Reid ate several bites of malt-o-meal cereal and three servings of raisins for breakfast.  For lunch he ate ground beef, huge servings of whole wheat elbow noodles, lots of applesauce, and ate his mixed fruit.  He said, "I want all the elbow noodles"....."and all that applesauce."  I'd brought out a new 3 pound container of applesauce!  Haha!!  When he was done with lunch he said, "I ate a ton!!"  :)

Reid's first two comments of the day were some of his usual comments!!  "I wish I was the first one here every day!!"  He frequently says that when he's not the first one!  Next comment; "Hey! Did I miss breakfast!?!"   Nope, I wouldn't let that happen!!  :)

I asked Reid; Would you like to do some dot painting at art time?  He said, "Nope."  Ok, well Hudson's gonna do some dot painting.  We'd only worked at it for maybe a minute when Reid showed up.  I thought you didn't want to paint.  "I changed my mind?"  I think that's a funny phrase.  I asked him if it was like changing the baby's diaper.  "NO!!!"  :)  He got into the painting and started with drawing a "car."  I was trying to get Hudson to "thump" his dot paints up and down, but he wouldn't until Reid would thump his.  Sophie's not here today and Reid prefers to just "paint" with his instead of thump them.  It was pretty cute how Hudson was just following Reid's lead.

We read books, sang some songs, and Reid played with the toys he got from Target yesterday.  I have the most trouble understanding Reid's speech when I don't have a "frame of reference" as to what he's talking about.  For example; Star Wars, Minecraft (misspelled?) game, different action figures, etc....  I feel totally out of the loop!!  Haha!!

Reid - 10/6/2016

Reid ate two servings of raisin english muffin and LOTS of blueberries for breakfast.  For lunch he ate chicken, crackers, half of sweet potatoes, and ate canned cherries.

Reid played very sweetly with Avi and Hudson this morning while Sophie was gone to Kinder-Music.  He was jumping on the mattress and wanted them to watch him.  He said, "Hey guys!  Look what I"m doing!?!"  Then I took this picture when Reid had a phone and Hudson had a phone.  Reid was saying, "Can you hear me Bubba!??!  Can you hear me Bubba!??!"  (Over and over!!)  Then in the 2nd photo he was showing Hudson how he could connect all the phones together.

Momma Lesley said Reid was a bit grumpy this morning, but he did just fine here.  (Nothing that a good tickling couldn't fix!!  Ha!)  He did lots of jumping on the mattress, jumping off the igloo, reading books like in the next picture, and we also read books at Story Time.  He told me he was going to Target today.  What for?  "To get a new toy."  You don't need any more toys.  He said, "Well, I'm gonna get one.  A Hord!"  A hord??  Ohhhh, a sword!?  "Yup!!  A nerf hord!!"  Ha!

And of course you can never have too many pictures of Reid standing on his head!!  He said, "Gary, can you take a picture?"  Well I just did a couple of days ago.  "But can you take another one!?"  Oh sure!  Why not!?  :)

Reid - 10/5/2016

Reid ate biscuit and two servings of peaches for breakfast.  For lunch he ate baked beans, dinner roll, peas, and two large servings of crushed pineapple.  I'd switched up cups for him and Sophie.  The cups are identical except I have their initials on the lids.  I asked him what the "T" stood for.  He said, "Tate."  True, but what's your last name?  He immediately got that right and then said, "Reid....read the book; you gotta read the book!"  Ha!  

Sophie was asking Reid to come read with her.  "Reido! read with me!"  (repeat 3 or 4 times)  "I like this one," she said.  Reid asked, "Is that a counting book too!?"  "Yes."  When I took the picture she was counting apples in the tree.  Reid is really into counting everything right now and Sophie has started doing it too.

"That's my letter.  That's my letter."  They learn the first letter of their name and that becomes "their" letter!  It won't be long before Hudson will be identifying his letter - or letters!  Sophie wanted to know the letter for "Bubba" too.  You can see Reid is watching to help out when needed.  Reid and Sophie like it because their letters are beside each other.   With this alphabet poster they frequently start by identifying the animal associated with their letter.  Sophie was doing all of her family, plus Gary, Reid, and Avi.  She included "Baby Nora" with "Sister Nora."  That's how she identifies them and keeps them separate for us.

The first thing Reid told Hudson this morning; "Bubba! Hofie is your Mom!!"  Let's get this straight! I'm not your Mom!!  Cracked me up.  Hudson just says "Mom" all the time, but Reid thinks he's calling him Mom.  We also did some coloring, sang songs, and did some sign language.  Reid was into playing some game where he was punching the stuffed animals.  I asked him what he was doing and he said,"Punch grenades!"  :)

Reid - 10/4/2016

Reid ate many servings of waffles and ate hash browns for breakfast.  For lunch he ate chicken, flat bread (In place of chicken & cheese quesadilla), half of carrots, and ate mandarin oranges.  About 15 minutes after 9:00 I said (mostly to myself), "I thought Sophie would be here by now."  Reid answered, "I think they are walking."  LOL - I roared.

In this first picture Hudson was laying his head on Reid's lap, but by the time I got the camera Reid was starting to move Hudson aside because Hudson was saying, "Momma Momma."  When I took this picture Reid was saying, "Im NOT your Mom Bubba!!"  Ha!  Hudson is such a little snuggle bug. He had his head laying in Baby Avi's lap this morning too.

Reid was putting on a performance for Sophie when I took this next picture.  He started by flipping Minnie the Mouse saying, "Minnie do double flip Sophie!"  And of course that just escalated, especially with Sophie laughing at his silliness.  Ha!  The last I heard it was something like, "Minnie do 80 Flips Sophie!!"  Ha!

I know I blog about "eating" a lot, but the importance of food in Reid's life cannot be overstated!!  Ha!  So here are some more examples!  This morning he asked me, "What are we having today?"  I never have to ask him what he's talking about!!  "What are we having for lunch?"  Yesterday, he was almost done with Lunch and he asked, "What are we having for snack?"  That was funny!  Today he asked, "How long till Breakfast?!?"  30 Minutes.  So 2 minutes later; "Time is up!!"  :)  And on and on it goes!  Love you Reid!!

Reid - 10/3/2016

Reid ate cheerios and two servings of bananas for breakfast.  For lunch he ate three servings of Peanut Butter & Jelly sandwich (in place of cheese sandwich), drank tomato soup, had a bite of beets.

On Friday afternoon Reid was the only "big" kid here and the two babies were sleeping.  I told him I had to go use the bathroom and he said, "Ok, I'm in charge" - then he looked around and saw he was the only one awake -   "uhhh, in charge of myself."   Haha!

He was in the swivel rocker playing with some toys and Hudson came over and wanted into the chair. I didn't intervene, but waited to see if they needed help.  Hudson whimpered and then wandered off. Reid said, "You're fake crying Bubba."  :)  Then Reid was examining a toy and said, "It appear to be normal."  Ha!  That made me laugh.  Not sure what he was looking for.  Later he asked me, "Did you know in real life there is a tomato rocket?"  No, I wasn't aware of that.  "It a toy, you push down button, tomato go flying up."  Sweet!  I want one.

It was nice to have Sophie and Hudson back today.  I took this picture when Reid and Sophie were sharing some reading time together.  At meal time Sophie looked at Reid's cup and asked, "Almond Milk?"  She totally remembered.  It's been quite a while since she heard that.

Here's a picture of Reid being silly on the couch.  Well actually it began with him trying to stand on his head and then his head was sinking into the couch.  He said, "Why is my face planted!?!"  Haha! When I showed him this picture he said, "Put that on Hofie's Blog!"  So I did.  :)
