Reid - 5/4/2017

Reid ate LOTS of waffles and ate fruit salad for breakfast.  (After eating all his oatmeal from home.)  For lunch he wouldn't try the shepard's pie with hamburger, mashed potatoes, green beans, and carrots.  I told him it was delicious and he said, "Well it would be good to have a HUGE hamburger!" Haha!  Whatever Reid!  He ate toasted rye bread and two large servings of cherries.

I'm forever calling the kids the wrong names!  When talking to Avi I'll frequently start with Sophie, then Nora, and make it to Avi.  And of course I almost always call Reid "Tate!"  Then when Tate was cleaning this past weekend I called him "Reid!"  Yesterday Reid said, "Why do you keep calling people names!?!"  LOL!!  Well Reido, you should have been here back when we regularly had 10 - 12 kids!!  Haha!!  Lauralea and I constantly spewed out a long list before we hit the right name!!

I took these first 2 pictures this morning when Reid wanted to get out the Big Bears.  Primarily so I can throw them at him when He's standing on the igloo!  Speaking of the igloo Reid was up there and trying to get my attention about watching him lean against the wall then jump off!  He said, "Gary!! I don't have much time!!  Look at Me!!"  LOL!  Oh man that hit my funny bone!!

Reid has been very sweet and helping Bubba this week.  Primarily with getting his diaper changed on the changing table.  Yesterday Hudson was sad about something and Reid was comforting him in the chair.  Reid said, "I had a great idea to make Bubba quit crying!  I ask him if he want to get in my chair and he did!"  Thank you Reid!  Just before I took this picture of Reid, Hudson, and Nora playing on the mattress Reid was trying to get Bubba to stand on the blue balance beam.  Hudson wanted no part of that and Reid asked, "Bubba, are you afraid of heights?"  Then Reid proceeded to give him a "Pep Talk" which I couldn't decipher, except the part about "the highest mountain in the world!"  Haha!  (You know, being a world traveler and all!)
