Reid - 4/7/2017

Reid ate dried plums - no malt-o-meal for breakfast.  He had 2 or 3 servings of those plums.  I was giving some of the plums to Nora and he asked, "Why are you wasting those on Baby Nora!?"  I tried not to laugh, but told him that wasn't a nice thing to say about someone else.  :)  He ate a little bit of Lunch except for the brown rice.  We had beef steak, brown rice, vegetables (zucchini, mushrooms, red peppers), and pineapple.

This first picture is from yesterday afternoon and Reid was trying to mess with me when I took this picture and tried to block my view.  :)  I am transitioning Hudson to the table and I always start with the Snack meal because there are fewer items.

I love this next picture.  Avi knows that Reid loves the blanket she's holding.  (It's one of my blankets - Reid is holding his special blanket from home.)  Avi found the blanket on the other side of the room, picked it up and raced over to give it to Reid saying, "Ree Ree Ree!"  So cute!!

I've been changing Hudson's diaper on the floor because the height of the changing table is an issue for him right now.  Anyhow it's a challenge to position him in such a way that I can block the little ones, especially Baby Nora who immediately crawls over.  Nora was mad that she wasn't being successful and Sophie jumped right in to assist her without me even asking.  She was comforting Nora and Reid was trying to assist Hudson with some reassuring talk; "It's all done Bubba, it's all done..." They were both trying hard to be good helpers and doing so on their own initiative !!

When Sophie arrived one of the first things she told us was about - "Dumbo" her stuffed elephant.  So where is Dumbo and why didn't you bring him?  She said, "He's at home and he's sick."  Well who is taking care of Dumbo?  "Mommy is."  Reid was listening to this conversation and said, "Who the heck would do that!?!"  Not sure exactly what it meant, but the way he said it was hilarious!!

When I took this picture of Lauralea reading to the kids this morning I was trying to get all four of these kids with a finger in their mouth.  All of them were doing it, but they would never ALL do it at the same time, so I got 3 out of 4!  :)
