Reid - 2/13/2017

Reid ate bites of kix cereal and two servings of mixed fruit for breakfast.  For lunch he ate lots of ham sandwich, ate his peas, and mandarin oranges.  He asked for more ham sandwich at lunch and I said, "Ok, and you can eat some more peas while I fix it."  Reid said, "I knew that was coming out of your mouth!!"  Haha!  Well I'm glad to be consistent and predictable for you!!  :)

When I fix Sophie's hair I always sit her on the changing table and it's just the right height to work on her hair.  Sometimes (usually) she's swiveling her head around like an owl so I'll ask her to look at whatever picture is on the calendar.  This month it's an elephant with her two babies.  I asked her what the elephant babies are called.  Not sure.  So I asked her if they were called a "joey."  Reid said, "No, that kangaroo."  I'll put that in your Blog Reid!  (Facts about animals aren't something Reid usually cares much about, so I was proud of him!)  Then Sophie said, "Calves!!"  Good job Sophie! Yes, they are called calves.  She said, "Put flamingo on my Blog!!"  Haha!  Ok, here it is!!  Flamingo!

Avi and Hudson were squabbling over one of the smallest books.  (And I have LOTS of them!!)  Reid said, "They're fighting over a very short book!"  Haha!  Small books = boring books in Reid's world.  After reading a book at Story Time Reid will sometimes say, "That book boring!"  Why?  "Too short!!" Sophie was trying to be the peacemaker during this conflict.  She was primarily yelling at Bubba; "Buuuubbbbbaaaaaa!!!!"  Ha!

Reid easily shared his little Star Wars stuffed  toys this morning and in this first picture Hudson was playing with one of them; putting it in one of the stacking cups.  Reid brought over one of the Stuffed toys and showed me the recycle symbol on the tag of the toy.  He knows what that means.  He said, "You can re-hykle it!"  So I asked him what does it mean to recycle!  He thought for a moment and said, "To get it again!"  Wow, good job buddy.  I'm impressed!!  Reid was also laughing at Hudson when the static electricity from the couch was once again making Bubba's hair fly!  He said, "Look at Bubba's hair!"  Hudson immediately started looking up, but quickly realized that just wasn't going to work.  (By the time I get him to a mirror his hair is settled back down!)

I asked Reid how his Dad was feeling after falling off the roof.  He said, "why was he up there again!?"  To shovel off the snow.  He said, "That make a lot of sense!"  Haha!  Then he added, "His watch fall off and his head bumped into his watch."  The details continue to come forth!!  :)
