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!!
