Reid - 8/4/2017

Reid ate lots of dried plums for breakfast - no brown rice.  He said, "I love these dried plums."  (I distinctly remember when I had to coax him to give them a try!)  Well this is his last day before Vacation and his time here is getting short so I had to change up the menu a bit so he could have some more of his beloved elbow noodles!! For lunch he ate beef from beef "kabobs," ate LOTS of whole wheat elbow noodles, no zucchini, peppers, or pineapple.  At breakfast he was talking about some kind of drink that "Mom bought at Fresh Market!"  I couldn't quite understand it all, but he made it clear that "It's just the juice from the fruit; that's why there is a LOT of protein!!"  Haha!! (He was telling me what you were taking on the trip!  It was all about food!)

One note from yesterday afternoon - I already told Momma Lesley this - Reid said, "I can throw SO FAR with my NEW SHOES!!"  Ahhhh....now I understand why he was in such "high octane" mode!
It was the shoes!  I should have figured it out, but it didn't click until he said that!  He was super-charged all morning and that was it!  Those amazing shoes!!  :)

This first picture is left over from yesterday afternoon.  I don't think Atley or Nora were awake from their nap yet when Reid build this blockade with some help from his sidekick assistant Bubba!  I asked Reid what they were doing and he said it was to keep "Atley and Nora from escaping!"  Well, ok I think it might work!  Haha!  Hudson sure enjoyed helping Reid on this project.

Here are some pictures from today's activities.  Reid was finding all the legos flowers and giving them to Nora perched on the legos table.  She was pitching them back into the drawer about as fast as he could find them!  Haha!  (She has become quite the little monkey!)  Then in the next picture  Hudson kind of started today where he left off yesterday - try to mimic everything Reid was doing this morning!  I thought this was cute when Reid was on the couch and said, "Hey Gary!  Look at this!"  And Hudson had to give it a shot too!  Nice try Bubba.  And in the last picture Reid was playing with Hudson and they were throwing the ball.  Hudson was thrilled!!  Thank you Reid!
