Reid - 3/17/2017

Reid ate oatmeal and two servings of baked apples (with sugar and cinnamon) for breakfast.  For lunch he ate apricots and I'm not sure if he ate anything else.  His plate looked pretty untouched except for the apricots!  I was quite busy feeding the little ones and he was done very quickly!!  Roast beef, dinner roll, vegetables (potatoes, carrots, brussel sprouts), and apricots.

This first picture is from yesterday afternoon.  Kenzie, Riley, and Sophie were in the igloo with Riley's Tablet.  Reid had just finished Snack and was wondering what they were doing!  They had the opening of the igloo facing the wall and positioned close to the wall.  So I told him I'd teach him an important Life Skill and I went and got a mirror.  He quickly learned how to use it.  You're welcome!  I'm just trying to help out!!  :)

Kenzie was here all morning and then the Cline Family left for the Farm where the Kids will spend their Spring Break.  She and Reid were giving each other "horsey rides" and working VERY hard at it.  The person on the bottom was moving slowly and deliberately!!  Hudson wanted a ride of course and got on Kenzie's back.  Then he got on Reid's back.  Well Reid wasn't nearly as careful as Kenzie and Hudson did NOT complete the 8 second ride!  Ha!  (I actually got a picture of it, but it looked pretty bad!  Reid immediately gave him loves and Hudson didn't even cry.  I still decided it wasn't a good picture to post!!)  And he never asked to get back on either!!  :)

 

Reid and Kenzie were jumping on the mattress and talking about "butt bombs."  (Landing on their butts in case anyone is not familiar with that technical gymnastics term!!)  Sophie wanted to be part of the "butt bomb" conversation and interjected this piece: "When I was a big kid I was jumping on my butt."  Haha!  Reid said, "You never were a big kid."  I love how quickly Kenzie will defend the little ones!!  She immediately said; "She's a big kid now!"
