Dress up

Sierra likes to play dress up on occasion but still hasn't gotten into it too much. But... when her 4 year old friend, Gracie was over the other day...they got into it!!!

It was so much fun that even Reid asked "dress, wear it?". So we dressed Reid up too and Sierra gave him a purse and put different hats on him!!

Yes, these photos will haunt him one day! But I do love that he's also holding a truck in one hand!

...and I love the hats that Sierra picked to go with her princess dress! Haha, still not 100% girlie girl :)

lost and found

We lost our TV remote for about 24 hours. This stinks bc we couldn't use Netflix and were only able to watch the 7 channels we get on TV.

Anyway, we looked everywhere!!! Nothing.

Then, Reid and I came home from running errands and while I was unloading bags in the laundry room, he walks in and hands me the remote!! Just like that! We'll never know where he found it, but he must have been the culprit and stashed it somewhere very sneaky!!!

Funnies

After only 10 minutes of watching our friend's newborn, Sierra says: "Wow Mommy, you're really good at helping babies!" and then 1 minute later: "I think babies cry a lot."

when Reid says 'glasses' he completely leaves off the 'gl'. It makes me giggle :)

R: "Sah-wah!!!" (Sierra)
S: "yes ma'am?"

Sierra and Reid are actually able to maintain some "conversations" together bc Reid is very accurate in answering questions. It's pretty amazing...and amusing. Some examples...
S: "Reid, which bowl do you want, blue or green?"
R: "orange?" (his favorite)
S: "no, sorry Reid. There isn't orange."
R: "pink?"
S: "nope, no pink. Which one, blue or green?"
R: "geen"
S: "ok, green. Good choice Reid! Here you go!"
__________
S: "ok Reid, do you to read a book or not?"
R: "not"
S: "ok, do you want to play with the house or blocks?"
R: "house. play"
S: "ok, c'mon! Which animal do you want?"
R: "tiger! roaaaar!"

Dress up

Oh, to be 3 years old again! What fun!

Advent Tree

I sent one picture of an advent calendar that I liked to my mom and she made it!!! And it's waaaaay more beautiful than the picture was!!! So many fun details and made all by her hands!!! We will hang it every year and it will be a special tradition in our family for years to come ... made with love and lots of hours of hard work, by our Lala :)

Thank you, Lala! We love it!!

Buddy

We often call Reid "Buddy" - even Sierra does.

And now, he is calling us "Buddy" too! I laugh out loud every time! It's hilarious!!

Any time he says "thank you" (which is a lot - he's picked up good manners from his big sis), when he's done with something, when you give him something, etc., he says "thank you, buddy!"

He also says "all done, buddy" and "I see you, buddy!" to all of us!

I'll get it on video - it cracks me up!!!
